... All the things we yell don't mean a thing When we're spinning out of darkened meadow wind When we're flying like we're Mary's angels through the shattered glass When we find that tall dark shadow waiting there with outstretched hands He has given me a dress of red and you a skin of gray We'll be twisting here for hours 'til the light will bring us day And we're spread ... And we're spread across ... And we're streaming in the wind ... Long dark veins and records playing memories
I don't know about all this indie this or hipster that, guys. I'm not really hearing a single here. Needs a little more pizzaz and a chorus I can sing along to. Maybe a couple more chords, bring it out of the minor for a bit, lighten the mood, give it dynamics. Not really hearing the hook 'pop' like it should. THIS ONE NEEDS A RE-WRITE.
@TheVizianGroup Hahaha nice. I like how you channel a vacuous typically shallow A&R guy. Love the way you spout the obvious formula-obsessed vanilla-flavored approach to 'muzak'. Also dig the feined conviction with which you vomit your 'opinion'. So damn cute.
Sounds real indie chicky. But like that darker kinda bjork thing, meets feist. Not the other route, which is that cutesier old timey jazz vocal tone with the exaggerated vibrato that SO MANY of them do. It's unfortunate how there's definitely talent here, you just wish it wasn't so stylized in that pseudo dark jazzy accented pronunciations of things that's becoming the "deep dark" alternative to the cutesy thing. All the great singers take influences yet are totally unique. Why so hard today?
@hkim927 Tuning is Db standard from what I can tell. Chords seem to be (relative to the Db standard tuning) Em and Gmaj for the first verse and Am and Cmaj for the second verse. There are some variations, though. If you look up "Halfsleeper cover" on Youtube, there is a guy that covers this and you can see him/hear him do the correct changes.
I listened to The Grime and the Glow. It had some good songs, but felt a little rough and unfinished. I love [Apokalypsis], one of this year's best. Having said that, 'Halfsleeper' might be her best song.
Ok, yes she is pleasant to the eyes, but let's get over that. Save that shit for the canned and repeated pop garbage that commands the attention of the masses. This kind of soul bearing is above all that. It's art, beauty, and truth Hearing something new and different from the norm restores my faith in humanity.
I would say that this woman needs to be heard by everyone, but then I remember that the masses can't appreciate something like this. Let's keep this for us shall we?
@danblaze83 Perhaps this mindset is what perpetuates the very problems of humanity you decry. Who really is "us"? How do you "keep" this? Sounds much like projection to me.
@pooscooper I actually had a feeling you were going to say she was from here. Yeah, everyone moves out there and I don't blame them. More exposure down there.
@MightyMartel I guess. She does seem to be gaining some momentum now. Sister Crayon's touring all over the place, too. Also, Ganglians, Death Grips, etc..
Go big and burn like the a dark star that you are. much like Pj harveys last album but your writing and that just the best. I would like to also join the support group for guys wanting to marry Chelsea wolf lol jk .
all the parts of me that lived inside are drowning in the sea of waking life they don't know their colors don't belong on the outside they don't know their colors don't belong until they're spread across the open road til they're spread across the asphalt on the open road til they're streaming in the wind like cassette tape or jellyfish long dark veins and records playing memories
It's hard to decipher the lyrics, I got everything, but I'm unsure on "Until they're streaming in the wind like cursed tape or jellyfish" is anyone else hearing that? that's all I could understand... xD Anyways, excellent song! I'm pretty stoked that I found this girl, she has some great music :)
According to other videos with her head, white eyes and this gold thing on her forhead.. I thought she is coptic.. because of the greek letters I read saw on one video.
This is great glad i came across this!
