Weekend Showcase 3.25

..........youth, art, the pulse of the city. City of Hearts is a song to walk or dance to.
"If Gary Numan spawned a love-child with Niki And The Dove it would sound like this (CIty of Hearts)" Eddy Temple-Morris, XFM
”Bewitching, beguiling, dark-hearted…infectious, substantial noir-disco.. electropop” The Irish Times
"If they ever film a sequel to Nicolas Winding Refn’s hyper-stylish film Drive......Sleep Thieves should be on the short list for scoring duties" 
Pigeons and Planes
“.....think wave-y-gothic vocals (Austra/Fever Ray/The Golden Filter) floating in and out from the dark to the bright side and back!"	
Deer De Bois
Sleep Thieves, are Sorcha Brennan (vocals, synths), Wayne Fahy (Vocals, synths, bass, programming), and Keith Byrne (synths, guitar, bass, programming). The Dublin-dwelling trio met through Twitter where they bonded over film soundtracks and vintage synths. This musical friendship was solidified in the recording of their self-released EP, Islands in 2012, which garnered accolades from the press.

City of Hearts
I felt that I was half alive
I counted 24, 25
I wanted,
I wanted not to be lonely but still alone
Walking slowly but nearing home
I wanted
I wanted
 
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes
 
You’d say that it was true to form
I was wishing hard for a storm
I wanted,
I wanted to see storm clouds rushing by
In a dark, brooding, stormy sky
I wanted, I wanted
 
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes

Sleep Thieves - City Of Hearts

Triggerwarnung:
Dieses Album spricht offen über Depression, Selbsthass, Sucht, Alkoholmissbrauch und den Verlust der eigenen Gefühle.
Ich erzähle aus meiner eigenen Perspektive – roh, direkt und ohne Verklärung.
Falls dich solche Themen belasten, hör bitte nur in einem sicheren Moment rein oder gemeinsam mit jemandem, dem du vertraust.

„ANHEDONIE“ ist kein "perfektes" Album für jeden. Es ist ein ehrliches.
Ich habe hier festgehalten, wie sich Depression wirklich anfühlt – nicht von außen betrachtet, sondern aus meinem Inneren heraus. Dieses Album erzählt den Weg durch Dunkelheit, Selbsthass, Alkohol, Schuld, Druck und die Suche nach einem Ausweg. Jede Spur ist ein Teil von mir, eine Karte aus einer Zeit, in der Gefühle verschwunden waren und Stille manchmal lauter klang als jeder Schrei.

Es geht um Menschen, die kämpfen – im Stillen, hinter einem Lächeln, hinter alltäglichen Rollen, die sie trotzdem weiter erfüllen. Es betrifft all jene, die sich schon einmal gefragt haben, warum sie nichts mehr fühlen… und die trotzdem weitermachen.
Ich will niemandem erklären, was Depression ist. Ich will zeigen, wie sie sich anfühlt.

Mit diesem Album sage ich:
Du bist nicht allein.
Du bist nicht kaputt.
Und ja – selbst aus der tiefsten Leere kann irgendwann wieder ein leiser Funke werden.

„ANHEDONIE“ bedeutet für mich nicht nur Verlust von Freude.
Es bedeutet, sich selbst wiederzufinden, obwohl man längst aufgegeben glaubte.
Es ist ein Weg durch Schatten – und ein Beweis dafür, dass Licht nicht laut sein muss, um echt zu sein.

Lost Boys

2017 single / lim ed. 7" vinyl (BBI 0297)http://bbislandmusic.com/shop/she-keeps-bees-our-bodies-7inch-vinyl-limited
performed, recorded by She Keeps Bees, 
written by Jessica Larrabee

::: Our Bodies :::
Basic Right
we must defend
choose whether and when
without being demonized
cause what control
can we have with 
no control
her body knows
need no chaperone
mother crow
help us mother crone
crow out it’s not your choice
we dare to practice  
medicine 4000 years old
but what’s important now
is that I mind my body and you mind your own
underside
for those who can afford the right 
risk sickness, death or cast aside
to the hell with a woman's life
mother crow
help us mother crone
crow out it’s not your choice
lie to control me? 
we demand autonomy
your fear is sickness not hereditary 
let me liberate me
our bodies  our own
our bodies are our own
our own body  our own choice
don’t control me
we demand autonomy
your fear is sickness not hereditary
let me liberate me

Jessica Larrabee about the song:

"I wrote this song last year, during the election, as I watched my mother's fight become my own. It’s a response to the calls from various politicians to strip women’s healthcare rights away in many states.

While writing, I tried to evoke the voices of my ancestors to help me say: we will not be punished or denied healthcare, and we will not be silenced.

In the lyrics, “Mother Crow” represents watchfulness. They have been known to alert prey to hunters, warning dear and other birds of coming danger. In fairytales and myths, crows are the keepers of the narrative and speak to us directly. 

The song summons energy to break the cycle of control, calls on our ancestors and wise animal guides, to crow-out for all spirited, liberated women: “Our own body, our own choice.”
