about
I originally wrote this song as a sort of letter to one of my dear friends. It’s funny how it’s often easier to cut to the core of truth when the message is disguised as being for somebody else. It has since taken on many new and personal meanings to me, currently serving as more of a mantra. I think we inherently know it’s all in our own hands, but the allure of not being accountable allows us to romanticize falling victim to the whims of fate. I am constantly needing the reminder that perspective truly is the key to life, and only we contain our own salvations. We have to just keep getting back on the saddle again and again. Cradle the pain, it’s all the same, it’s what you make of it.
lyrics
Cradle the pain, It’s all the same
It’s what you make of it
Harvest the green, And in between
Pray a flower’s coming
She may walk on water
She might talk the night away
But the truth is a bother
When you’re letting it all
Slip away
Cradle the pain, It’s all the same
It’s what you make of it
Harvest the green, And in between
Pray a flower’s coming
Drying your eyes, night after night -
You’re Like a waterfall
Even despite, the chill and the bite
You are an angel child
And you better run for the sunshine
And be reckless in your flight
You were young, hit the bull’s eye
But the lottery isn’t kind
Your happiness is a cloud
You can see it, but it don’t land
Just imagine it could catch you
Like heaven in your hands
Cradle the pain, It’s all the same
It’s what you make of it
Harvest the green, And in between
Pray a flower’s coming
Drying your eyes, night after night -
You’re Like a waterfall
Even despite, the chill and the bite
You are an angel child
It’s what you make of it
Harvest the green, And in between
Pray a flower’s coming
She may walk on water
She might talk the night away
But the truth is a bother
When you’re letting it all
Slip away
Cradle the pain, It’s all the same
It’s what you make of it
Harvest the green, And in between
Pray a flower’s coming
Drying your eyes, night after night -
You’re Like a waterfall
Even despite, the chill and the bite
You are an angel child
And you better run for the sunshine
And be reckless in your flight
You were young, hit the bull’s eye
But the lottery isn’t kind
Your happiness is a cloud
You can see it, but it don’t land
Just imagine it could catch you
Like heaven in your hands
Cradle the pain, It’s all the same
It’s what you make of it
Harvest the green, And in between
Pray a flower’s coming
Drying your eyes, night after night -
You’re Like a waterfall
Even despite, the chill and the bite
You are an angel child

Versions of Modern Performance

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves.

The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well.
