from the LP "This Is My Hand" 
Available on CD /Vinyl / Digital 
September 16, 2014
from Asthmatic Kitty Records.

Lyrics:
mountain on top a fire below 
the pressure grows pressure
I feel the weight of a billion years 
come down on me come down
I tried to do it all right I went down down down
workin' hard little delight I forgot the sound of
diamonds

so bright I cannot hide 'em
so heavy I cannot mine 'em
all of this pressure's makin' diamonds
so wild I cannot tame 'em
so shiny I cannot name 'em
all of this pressure's makin' diamonds
disperse the white light

dancing on top the glitter glow
the pressure slows pressure
I feel the blade the cutting edge move out out out
I tried to do it all right I went down down down
workin' hard little delight I forgot the sound of
diamonds

pink purple green red yellow blue
I am in that mood indigo
pink purple green red yellow blue
I am in that mood for diamonds

My Brightest Diamond, "Pressure"

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
