about

Here's the last song from the Sister swamplands for 2020 (good riddance). Alex and I are truly excited to share this song with you; as it's soulful and almost hypnotically catchy. This one came together with a sincere flow of urgency, as it desires to capture the intensifying personal challenges many of us are feeling while offering some sonic solace through the possibilities of hope and healing though the sharing of our truths. We really luv ya, be safe, lay low - but not in spirits! Special thanks to NMSU Art Museum director and artist Marisa Sage for her photograph! OX - SBL

lyrics

[sic]

Need a potion need a getaway
Need to get my tongue on out of the way
Oh how suffering loves its choreography
How the lost love the wilderness within
Now I’m down by the tracks
In shoes I can’t afford
Dancing in anonymous backyards
In clothes that no longer fit
Dancing in anonymous backyards
In skin I cannot keep

All the weight all the weight all the weight
On my back
All the weight all the weight all the weight
All this weight on my back
No release no release no release
No angels just motor
On my knees on my knees on my knees
Just gonna make me feel a little lower

Lower, lower, lower…

I fell so long I was always arriving
I fell so long I forgot I was fallin’
(in skin I cannot keep)
I’m feelin’ the weight of just surviving

All the weight all the weight all the weight
On my back
All the weight all the weight all the weight
All that weight on my back
No release no release no release
No angels just motor
On my knees on my knees on my knees
Just gonna make me feel a little lower
