lyrics
there’s a ribbon-cutting ceremony today
they’ll coronate me and send me away
champagne bottles smash on each hip
and run down my sides—i’m a newborn ship !
( and run down the sides of the newborn ship... )
they’ll coronate me and send me away
champagne bottles smash on each hip
and run down my sides—i’m a newborn ship !
( and run down the sides of the newborn ship... )

More Protest Songs! Morgan Bassichis Live at St. Mark's Church
by Morgan BassichisI love hanging out with this record because this record is kinda like hanging out. Conversational, personal/universal, comedic/tragic, repetitive song spells--Morgan's got skills on vox & piano.

Dearest Arooj, firstly thank you. My brother died this year n what can be said about such loss n sadness. I saw n heard you at The end of the Road in England. I spent many years in India n love all the music, poetry of your heritage. Thankyou Arooj❤️

It was a tall order trying to look for sounds similar to this. Thank you for this heavenly gift.

Reminds me of getting back home after a long road-trip. That feeling of relief. The peace of being in your own presence.

Epic, immersive songs that you disappear into, with rich layers of keys and ghostly vocal melodies conjuring a misty dreamworld.
go to album -
Lovely, delicate acoustic music with rich, narrative lyrics that play out more like short stories than songs.
