lyrics
Voice a cold filter
I’m trying to sing
But it’s empty, cos I’m empty
I once walked to the very end, to a moss covered heaven
I found a giant and tried to break him to teach ‘em a lesson
Cos loss, sour hate, is the thing that I taste when I’ve run out of reason Summer’s so far and the sun slips along like a promise to return
Voice a cold filter
I’m trying to sing
But it’s empty, cos I’m empty
Everything I love has sunk to the bottom
And it’s reaching out for you
If I dance around questions, walk through walls, Start painting in blue
Just know that I’m trying
Know that I’m trying
Know that I’m trying
I’m trying
I sense your hands on the back of my neck Like a promise to keep me
I promise I’m happy
I sense your hands on the back of my neck Like a promise to keep me
Promise I’m happy
I’m trying to sing
But it’s empty, cos I’m empty
I once walked to the very end, to a moss covered heaven
I found a giant and tried to break him to teach ‘em a lesson
Cos loss, sour hate, is the thing that I taste when I’ve run out of reason Summer’s so far and the sun slips along like a promise to return
Voice a cold filter
I’m trying to sing
But it’s empty, cos I’m empty
Everything I love has sunk to the bottom
And it’s reaching out for you
If I dance around questions, walk through walls, Start painting in blue
Just know that I’m trying
Know that I’m trying
Know that I’m trying
I’m trying
I sense your hands on the back of my neck Like a promise to keep me
I promise I’m happy
I sense your hands on the back of my neck Like a promise to keep me
Promise I’m happy

everything is alive

Shoegaze royalty. Often aped, but never beaten, this might be their strongest release yet. Mesmerising.

Ballroom Dance Scene et cetera (best of Horsegirl)
by Horsegirlsupported by 8 fans who also own “18 Tons”
This song ticks all the boxes for me. Guitar sounds, vocals, song structure. I can't put my finger on any one factor, it all works together to make a really great song.
