I thought the earth remembered me
She took me back so tenderly
Arranging her dark skirts full of lichens and leaves
I slept as never before, a stone on the riverbed
With nothing between me and the bright fire of the stars
But my thoughts
And they floated light as moths
I hear small kingdoms breathing
The creatures writhe and stir
In the night I fall so eagerly
To vanish into something better
I rose and fell as if in water
Grappling with a luminous doom
By morning I had fell at least a thousand times
Into something better…to something better
The lyrics are so direct and clever, beautiful singing and guitar playing with tasty rhythms and decorations on top. So much heart, while being executed really well. Favourite song is Hours. Robert Dickson
Recorded over the space of a year, the vivid pop songs on the latest from themme fatale match sugary hooks with diaristic lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 13, 2022
Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
