her voice is sooo angelic, almost like from another space.

Thoroughfare by Ethel Cain live for Vevo DSCVR

famous last words (an ode to eaters) (slowed reverb) ethel cain

lyrics:

held you for the first time
that summer night, benign

dirty jeans and big brown eyes
i watched you drowning in the light
trying to hold your breath for a lifetime

always gentle 
always kind to me
always bleeding
always bittersweet 

waited, patient, on the hard ground 
you stayed right there, unbound
and wrapped your arms around me
i cry and i moan that im not just a child
but i know hes only trying 

and he’s
always gentle
always kind to me
always bleeding
always bittersweet
always gentle
always good to me
always bleeding
always always bittersweet
(you know that i love you)
always gentle
always kind to me
(i’d do anything if you asked me)
always bleeding
always bittersweet
(i’m only bleeding dry without you)
always gentle
always good to me
(i’d give the world if you asked me)
always bleeding
always always bittersweet

Beyond Time

"The House of the Rising Sun" is an American traditional folk song. It's earlier version was called "Rising Sun Blues", which was in major key and 3/4 time signature. The song was first collected in Appalachia in the 1930s, but probably has its roots in traditional English folk song. 
The most successful commercial version, recorded in 1964 by the English rock band The Animals, was in minor key and 12/8 with a bit different lyrics and melody. 
In our version the lyrics are mostly from the earlier versions, but in minor 12/8 and melody as in Animal's version. Olavi Lähteinen sings and I play the guitars. I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper.
Laulu on alkujaan kansanlaulu USA:sta, mutta lienee kulkeutunut Englannista. Sen aikaisempi versio nimeltään "Rising Sun Blues" on  duurissa ja 3/4-tahtilajissa.
Suurimman hitin tästä sai englantilainen The Animals vuonna 1964. Heidän versionsa on mollissa ja 12/8-tahtilajissa sekä sanoitukseltaan ja melodialtaan erilainen.
Versiomme noudattaa pääasiassa varhaisempien sanoitusta, mutta muutoin Animalsien versiota. Olavi Lähteinen laulaa ja itse soitan kitaroita. Tuotin tämän kotonani Band in a Boxilla ja Reaperilla.

LYRICS
do i talk too much or not enough can't control anything
i used to say, that you are on top, that you can move mountains
tried to pick locks when i was younger with hairpins, 
i am forgetting everything as soon as it happens, 
pained by everything that i need to let go, 
yknow theres safety in self destruction because at least you know where youre gonna go
very alone i will not reach out, 
please dont come to me i am panic attacks and nosebleeds 
in the girls toilets at school 
oh, i'm grateful 
bull in a china shop, im waiting at the bus stop
blue tiled swimming pools, y'know i used to suffer fools
shouting less than i thoughtand breaking stuff i bought 
I learnt a lot of patience but never wanna be complacent 
i was crying into my sleeve on the top floor of an apartment complex 
i was 8 years old 
lost in a cartoon estate, you know i really think that she is my soulmate 
sorry if this is weird
nearly half disappeared at 17 years i try to retrace, 
pinpoint and drawing maps try to figure out exactly what happened to me, very alone i do not reach out 
please come to me i am panic attacks and nosebleeds and these are not battlescars 
these are the echoes of a disorder 
messy taurus girl with blood caked under your finger nails 
i won't ask questions 
suffocating for years and drowning in all of your fears 
i am terribly afraid strangled by desperation 
she said "you mess of crooked teeth, what'd you bury underneath?" 
i used to watch videotapes in my mams bedroom when i was sick 
i always knew how i would die one day 
on my own terms always on my own terms
and she said "dear, you are not an island" 
drinking cranberry juice at night and spilling it on myself 
oh god i need to go 
there is a past and I remember it 
I need to float through the ceiling
