Never the same girl

Tell me, what do you believe?
Can you even look at me?
Open your eyes, what do you see?

Want to be a good girl
try to be a good girl
always was a good girl
Staring at the mother
kneeling at the altar
tell me I’m a good girl
how can I be better?

baby, listen careful
they don’t have the answer
bend without a breaking
can bend without a breaking
wrong and still be worthy
touch and still be worthy
get out of the city then back into the city


Baby, listen careful
They don’t own the quiet
just beyond belonging
there’s power in our longing
guided by our wonder
whisper from the future
Always was a good girl
Always was a good girl

good girl

Nomadic in nature
Listen to whispers of hunger
Which were louder
Louder when we were younger

Voices dominate
Complacent, won't retaliate
Tremors turn to quakes
My mind was searching In unknown territory
I tried to rewrite my own story

Nomad

Alt-folk artist Blue Lobelia launched her career in 2016 with the release of a 9-track debut album titled Perennial.  She creates an ethereal soundscape by looping layers of vocal harmony, strings and guitar. With lyricism heavily steeped in natural imagery, audiences have compared her earthy blend of classical and indie-folk influence to artists such as Vashti Bunyan and Andrew Bird.
