Requiem Waltz
The sweetest mark upon your list
is your own seductive oh death wish
And god above no interventionist
Stands as you’re strangled by the devil’s fist
I took your head upon my chest
For a bitter sweet oh second
And how you tear away from it
And fade away into the abyss
There’s a bad moon rising up the hill
Oh as you write your own will
Oh leave me be there’s nothing left
But a gaunt portrait of a masochist
Oh I bare witness to the deepest sadness housed within my breast,
Oh was your head upon my chest,
Did I dream you there were my eyes amiss?
For the window pain is cracked straight through
Colored with mistake you can’t see through,
Shine light on all the colors in you
And now I know what painted you
This is a totally mesmerizing album. It;s really special, and feels like a beautiful melancholic painting (if that makes any sense). Amongst singer-songwriters, very few have such a distinctive style of there own. richardschouten
I can't say enough about this singer/songwriter. This older LP is totally immersive from first track to last, with Emily's voice at a mesmerizing front and center. I didn't pick a fav track bc it's too hard. They're all great. Eric Van Lustbader
