You took the robin,
You put the stone in its throat.
Now every note it sings rattles, rattles.
You took the orchid,
You wrapped its petals in the frost.
Now when it shakes it off, it rattles, it rattles.
(Could you shake it off like it was nothing?)
Red in the front teeth:
You tried to terrify the sun,
Stare down the rays of light 'til it was gone.
It took every power
You know I claim to possess
Just to convince myself it's harmless, it's harmless.
I'm considering things that I wouldn't have
When I was young.
I'm considering things I know shouldn't be done.
I'm attracted to the dark:
What moves and what sparks?
I'm considering things that I wouldn't have
When I had a heart.
A remarkable album. Always listen to it cover to cover. Favorite song always changes. Great storytelling and every song is unique in its own way. TJ Bannon
I discovered Phoebe while making a Christmas playlist in a pretty low time in my life—I'm in a much better place now. This album has provided for me a great comfort. CenPie
A brave experimental record from the Cecilia Lopez & Ingrid Laubrock running darting sax lines through dense electronics & processing. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2023
I listened to this album in the midst of one of the most gorgeous points of my life. There was definitely the aspect of uncertainty and fear but that's what made everything feel so good. This album hasn't punched me any weaker since that point, it never escapes my mind. Just unbelievable writing and production, I could talk for hours. I'm so in love with every song on this album, so much that my favourite song changes every time I listen! One of the greatest albums of all time in every aspect! -ka2ra-
