From the recording The New Bright Children - 2012
Creepy dream pop. Slow, plodding, drug-addled. Meant to feel like a valium-fueled fever dream. Soft and numb - yet somehow warm and inviting.
Love the vocal harmonies, slinky bass line, bizarre guitar chords, and the use of bells.
The creepy lead guitar figures at the end were played with an e-bow on an ACOUSTIC guitar.
'September in Her Eyes' explores the struggle of facing difficult situations and the comfort found in the presence of a loved one. The metaphor of 'September in Her Eyes' symbolizes a sense of warmth, solace, and understanding that helps navigate through life's challenges.
Lyrics
Grace found me
The softest hands in the hardest world
Dying is easier
Than living sometimes
Awash in the brine
The hardest place I've ever been
Is before her soft and loving eyes
I tried
To take the long way around
Your hollowed out ground
The hardest place I've ever been
Is before her soft and loving eyes
Knight falling
Horse shot down in flames
And no one was saved
Your calling
Silent as a tomb
In the dark, whistling this tune
The hardest place I've ever been
Is before her soft and loving eyes
The hardest place that I have ever been
Is before her loving eyes
Her eyes
