Alex Marshall Incredibly emotional. Every note and word of this album is steeped in the stuff and is stirringly visceral. I love it. Favorite track: She is like a song.

softeclipse Been listening to this while lying wide awake on heavy, muggy summer nights with muffled sounds of the city in the background. I know nothing about this band, only that the vocalist's tone is like a soothing balm to my cuts. Can't wait for the vinyl to arrive. Favorite track: Intermezzo (above the skies).

In a church with you hiding I guess I would stay And if your chest was the pulpit I guess I would pray And the whole stoup I would drink And I'd be drunk with faith And I'd holler "Amen ! Thank God for your breath" Your holy breath on my skin But you're just a little child Dropped off in a basket On a big river and became stranded On the banks of my bed In a church with you singing I guess I would come And if your song was a moan I guess I'd succumb To my palace of sin I'd get blisters on my knees From kneelin' and prayin' please be mine [And in your little tin box] I'd put in some pennies For the candles I'd light And a little red light will glow In my palace of sin And a little red light will glow In my palace of sin In my palace of skin
2.
My tired fingers brought me here Kneelin', diggin' dirt and fear There's a smell & there's a sound There's something in the ground Tonight the stars reduce us back to nothing Oh but I know we exist They're glancin' up above my shoulder "What am I doin' here" it's like they wonder With a moon so low any star would shine And this is why you do This is why you do But I don't need your love around Cause I don't need your pride around There's somehting in the ground It's hidin' in the ground Dirty fingernails won't let go Broken fingernails won't give up
3.
And I'm milky and I'm sweet You're like honey you have me close my eyes I got love in my tummy I got oceans that dance above the skies I get dirty but It's fun I get muddy but the sun is out And I'm hungry and I'm tossed But I'm not empty I ain't lost it all
4.
Oh let me be 01:36
I gave up on you Where you gave all to me Now what can I do To have you Let go of me Cause I, I let go of you When you, you'd go on with me Why can't you see That I let you be So don't you let me be too Oh let me be
5.
When your body takes Mine is a-leavin' When your body shakes Mine is a-fadin' But it's my body breaking When yours is asleep It's my body aching And yours don't ever weep When your moon is rising And I'm all engulfed I see the horizon But you draw my gun My body's resting When yours is at war I'm no good for wrestling I'm scared of what you are Now the night is too slow And the white is graying Your eyes are too low For the light to hit in You once were a beggar Now you're a crook And you feel so much better Not ashamed of what you took When your body peaks Mine is ashamed It's numb and it's weak When your blood is aflame But it's my body bleeding When yours is away It's my body needing But yours don't ever pay
6.
There's a great deal of lights In the city tonight And I smoke them all There's a great deal of stars In the sky of this bar And I drink them all And she is like a song As she's walking along The room Oh boy ! for a second to sing it And to my room I'd bring it [back The memory of it But I'm scared of this mouth The scar of those lips It might open again I'm afraid of those sighs They're frail when she dies In my hands And she is like a song And not a single note is wrong And I hum Oh boy ! for a second to sing it And I'd carry it back to my room The memory of it The memory of when I sang this song
7.
Only someone burning could have me burn along Would have to be slow, though To help us last for long Only someone raining would have me drown along Would have to be a hard rain, though To be wet for long I'd love her in the kitchen I'd love her on the tiles I'd love her on the oven And her muffins would burn meanwhile That one's a perfect circle growing within me Oh and I love her shape But she's stealing my corners away Oh yes I love her shape But she's eating my angles She's breaking my ankles And I never thought I'd tremble For a circle so plain Okay I'll love her in the ...kitchen I'll tremble on the tiles I'll shiver on the table And the pie will burn in the meantime
8.
You and I were the coolest birds And I wear our war feathers Alone in the nest And the rain, the rain's on everyone But it don't wet the same Wouldn't they be flyin' Wouldn't they be flyin' The devil is a woman And I'm scared to die in her hands The devil is a woman And I fear for my blood
9.
We wallow in our pints of beer And why we do it ain't exactly clear But we keep doin' it along the years I guess it helps you muffling up your fears I got a flask that we could share right here If you could only stay with me my dear It's easier holding back your tears Amongst the larks, the clinking and the cheers I'll be your drinking shoulder When you're kneeling sad and bitter Oh when you're feelin' down Just open up another Bottle you'll be glad and better Oh when you're feelin' down Drinking makes me suffer and reveal The pain, yeah but it keeps me real Have you ever been broken hard and slow Then tell me what about the healin' Staring at the ceiling, filling up a glass The one that'll make me kneel One more last drop of poison trying to move me And change the way I feel
10.
Black Velvet 07:19
Let your cheek onto mine And your hand in my hand Make those promises you'll break at dawn And let us sigh till then Let the rain on the town Gently weep Let the clouds on the night Be your wings Clouded in black velvet Clouded in black velvet Let the light take your hand Into dark velvet Let the night be your friend In her black cloak Let the emptiness dance around you And fill you up Let it wrap you up in Her famous warm coat Shrouded in black velvet Shrouded in black velvet
11.
There's a bottle full of answers by your bed But you won't drink Cause you like your empty head And the taste of thirst In that book that's full of hopes There ain't a single line you'll read And you pass it on to me You won't cope first But I've read enough, the crumpled pages of our nights
12.
The stars are so many But it's a desperate glow They look so lonely to me Cause they don't know each other They just burn and beam all over They're wearing their best smile But they've been there a while No one ever came to them and say "baby you're my light" They burn hard But they burn too far Now I know who burns up there Now I know who burns up there Now I know who burns up there

The Wooden Wolf France

The music of The Wooden Wolf, deeply sincere, is a music of spaces. They are big and wild, small and intimate, he absorbs the details and fills the void. It is an introspective music that nourishes text prose flower. His sensitivity make all the flavor of his compositions: a sensitivity as unique as universal. ... more
