Come over here killer
I aint feeling right
Think I’ll take a chance and lay with you tonight
Tell me that I’m strong
Whisper in my ear
Sing me all your songs
You know the one I wanna hear
“This is just a dream
There is nothing to fear
Soon, my love, the day will break
And I will be right here
Out of the pale sky
Into the grey sea
Misery loves company but you know she don’t love me
My soul is so polluted
I never understood it
Now there’s an arrow trapped inside my heart
With a letter strapped to it
“This is not the place
This is not your home
So put the beast to sleep
And begin again
Alone”
Come over here killer
Tell me what to do
I’ve been out collecting lily bones and mermaid teeth for you
This was not the plan
But this is how it goes
I am just a man
You are a ghost
And the hollow is so long
And the heavy just persists
Hoping someday soon that I’ll completely
Vanish in the mist

Something Bad

Shadow slug love
and sorrow stands tall
My blues are so big
My heart is so small
My heart is black
My heart is broke
You fall in love while I try not to choke
I look at the ocean and I think of you
Singing your song for somebody new
Your heart is black
Your heart is blue
But I'm falling apart
I don't know what to do
Mama, something bad
Is looming overhead
and everything is sad
and everything is dead
and I am so alone
Well, time is the healer
The lovers all say
But this wound gets thicker
Day after day
You float like a feather
On the wings of a bird
I die like a prayer
That's never been heard
Mama, something bad
Is looming overhead
and everything is sad
and everything is dead
and I am so alone

Take Me With You When You Disappear

What a pity that I discovered this Berlin-based band 3 years after their dismissal. Hats off to Lute FP who pointed at this, their swan-song. Sometimes this reminds me of a rawer version of Andrea Schroeder, elsewhere of PJ Harvey's earlier stuff, where you could never predict the next emotional/musical outburst. I'm excited to learn that one half of this project was the same Lucy Kruger I'm going to see (with the Lost Boys) on next year's OBS in the Glitterhouse garden!

Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys (EP)
by Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys
supported by 8 fans who also own “Lily Bones / Something Bad”
It's been a really long time since I've been that impressed by songwriting so creative and smart, plus the courage in displaying such vulnerability, and touched by the sheer beauty of the music, all at the same time. (I'm usually not a fan of digital only music purchases, but just had to make an exception here, after having the pleasure of experiencing a live gig by the wonderful Lucy, and buying the followup album on CD there - also heavily recommended!)

That Bridge Washed Away In The Storm (EP)

Avi Buffalo had a hand in producing this cassette of Lowpines' serene, self-described "Lo-fi-Anglo-Americana pop songs."

“Slow Sundown” is a bewitching record, haunted by the ghosts of Mazzy Star and Cowboy Junkies.
