Trying to climb out,
Your body is a shield
Armored against me.
Find out what you really mean.
I see you walking in your town
With your head down.
You always wore that place
Like a brace.
Does it stop you
From breaking?
Annie, why are you still beating yourself up?
It happens all the time.
Annie, why have you gone closing all your doors
Before I close mine?
You left a light on.
I saw a moth was dead
That summer morning.
Find out where you really went.
I see you in the kitchen
Making breakfast,
Not saying a word as you stir.
I come up beside you,
Put a hand upon the burn.
Annie, why are you still beating yourself up?
It happens all the time.
Annie, why have you gone closing all your doors?
I haven’t closed mine.
Annie, I’m awake on the other side of the wall
But I cannot hear your mind.
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
A brave experimental record from the Cecilia Lopez & Ingrid Laubrock running darting sax lines through dense electronics & processing. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2023
You know, it wasn't my favorite for a while, but for some reason my brain decided to listen to it on loop a few weeks ago and now I can't stop thinking about it.
I love the synths, the tone, the lyricism, even the music videos which I feel I should mention!!!
(also, should've been me reminds me a bit of abba which is an automatic bonus in my book) praisedrays
