Daughter - Youth (The Wild Youth EP)

I thought this brand new track called "Youth" by Daughter needed to be on Youtube, too. It's incredibly beautiful. (You'll find the lyrics below.)
Check out Daughter a.k.a. Elena Tonra. She's a true gem and an enrichment to everyone's music collection.
Go ahead and purchase her EPs "His Young Heart" and "The Wild Youth" on http://ohdaughter.bandcamp.com/

It's not perfect, but it'll give you a very well idea of how to play it!

Lyrics:
Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
From the perfect start to the finish line.

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
the lovers that went wrong.

We are the reckless,
we are the wild youth
chasing visions of our futures
one day we'll reveal the truth
that one will die before he gets there.

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this...

...and you caused it...
...and you caused it...
...and you caused it...

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette,
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
My eyes are damp from the words you left,
ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
to distract our hearts from ever missing them.
but I'm forever missing him.

and you caused it,
and you caused it,
and you caused it.

I love her music so much, and I really want to buy some of it, but whenever I look on iTunes nothing shows up. Obviously she has released her EP; does iTunes just not have it? Or is her name so generic that iTunes won't lead me there?

Help with this would be greatly appreciated!

@mahwidge If you just google "itunes daughter the wild youth" it leads you directly to the right page. Youtube won't let me post the link, but I'm sure you'll make it. Good luck.

Does anyone know her real name?

@ReinaLight Elena Tonra

@omgwtfbbq116 Well, of course their music isn't identical. Would be weird. But they are both great musicians. I didn't want to recommend a clone :) And I don't really know what Lucy sounds like live (only from videos), but I'd say her studio recordings are really stunning and most of the folks over here would enjoy! Cheers

Sure skins brought me here, but its a lovely song, and I have been listening to this so far everyday now. Quit complaining, you make yourselves sound like hipsters. Music is music, we were brought here by something, deal with it.

I don't see why there is a dislike button on this piece of perfection

[1927Murray]

Just beautiful. Nuff said.

[MsWardale]

She sounds like Florence and the Machine seasoned with Kate Nash...

[jweightmanmusic]

Sounds like the riff from Fast Car by Tracy Chapman.

[mahwidge]

@annismusic That worked! Thank you so much, and kudos to you!

[TheWolfman187]

[edjones1011]

[inthezooniverse]

She sounds so much like Florence Welch, it's amazing.
