Some people cannot go near a body of water featuring a pebble beach without searching for skipping stones, which they make bounce off the water. For some, it is a delightful show off of a useless skill; for others pure frustration. But no matter how many hops the stone makes, it inevitably sinks. This is the metaphor Amsterdam-based singer/songwriter [**néomí**](https://glamglare.com/artist/neomi?ref=glamglare.com) uses to make an emotional appeal to save a relationship. She explains:

> “I remember myself writing this with my dear friend Jesse Koch, while I had just fallen in love with someone. That someone was going through a difficult time, and in those moments of our relationship I felt like a skipping stone: picked up and thrown over the water, as if I was nothing to him. When I was younger my Dad and I would go down to the river in France to find those flat stones and he would try to teach me how to skip them over the water. I always got frustrated doing it and it’s the image that came to my mind when writing this song. I felt so insecure, not about me or my lover individually but the love we had. I couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t allow me to let me in. It felt unfair because I was letting him in, and he just threw me away, like I was his skipping stone to sink somewhere in the lake.” 

“Skipping Stone” is the second single from néomí’s upcoming EP *[After](https://glamglare.com/album/neomi-after?ref=glamglare.com)*, out on April 14 via Pias. Listen to our Song Pick of the day below:
