you keep a bible next to your bed
to burn the evil thoughts from your head
count the good days one by one
god, how wicked we've become
if somebody's coming for me
i'm ready to fight
with clenched fists and broken teeth
i've been up all night
and if death is waiting for me
i'm ready to go
there's no heaven above me,
no bitter end below
your walls are filled with posters of girls you wish you knew
sad songs on the record player next to you
cut your hair off, change your name
but inside, darling, you're still the same
these needles in your bloodstream
and bruises on your arms
you're a pale white painter's canvas
i've never seen a heart like yours
i wrote your wedding song
and watched her throw her bouquet
i'd write my own funeral hymn
and watch you dance all day
there's no beauty in dying
we just carry on
all rivers drain to the ocean
and all oceans bring us home
we live in a world of street signs
and traffic lights
and words like "forgive me,
nothing feels like home tonight."
Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
Well... Like some people here, I never really liked that song! However, this is *so* much better than the original, for all the reasons already listed by deluded_marxist! The depth of feelings here, especially from the vocals but also the slow music, really is on a whole other level! Thanks to Tara Tantrum for taking me here! Highly recommended!!! bmurator

UK-based Irish musician Joel Johnston creates an expansive indie-rock atmosphere on his latest album as Far Caspian. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 14, 2023
This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
