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.
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
