Weekend Showcase 4.18

LOUISE ROAM - Vera Rubin's Journey

A dark and complex descent into the lonely rabbit hole of calling out misogyny in its many forms, Small Talk challenges self and other to cut through the dissonance and find the truth behind the lies

Small Talk

Written by Bella Venutti and Lachie Gimour
Produced by Malcolm Besley
Mastered by Joe LaPorta
Artwork by Bella Venutti

Superstar

It’s hard to imagine that Juliana Daugherty’s softness and subtlety could materialize amid the tumult of current-day Charlottesville, VA, but every mode of being continues in the people of Charlottesville, as it does elsewhere, despite the impressions headlines might give. Despite the societal ills that dominate our screens, private struggles still exist, and Daugherty’s debut Light gives them palatable, manageable, and satisfying form.

“I wrote this record partly to strip mental illness of its power,” Daugherty says. She adds, “There is nothing useful or beautiful to be gleaned from the experience of depression.” Though this statement seems contrary to the romantic tone of Light, it’s refreshing to hear an artist speak of their own depression with objectivity, unwilling to be charmed by the gloom. Daugherty wields her songcraft like a sword, not a diary to be buried in a drawer.

As one listens, it becomes clear that Light was not a title chosen despite the gravity of its subject matter-- romantic struggle, abject depression, and throbbing vulnerability-- but rather in service of it. Light, so to speak, comes when we give shape to what haunts us.

Juliana Daugherty - "Player"

This song is about the parts of us we lose. For me, that was getting tendonitis and having to put down my guitar. An acoustic amputation, the loss of a limb.  A year after putting down my guitar, when I was just about healed, I was encouraged by an audience of new friends and strangers to play some songs on my guitar. I took my place in front of everyone, and my fingers settled into a familiar G. But the next chord never came. I couldn’t remember a single song I’d written. Smiling faces looked up at me, telling me I could do it. But really, I could not. The words were all gone. Finally, I sat back down, startled. 

Lyrics: 
I’m foaming at the mouth to
Play you a song
Homesick for my fretboard
Where I once belonged

Gin to keep my heart warm
To intoxicate
Searching for semantics
While my tonic’s away

Oo I lost myself
Phone keys wallet 
Is there anything else?

  I’m falling out my pockets
Strewn on the ground
Somewhere there’s a world for
My lost and not found

You ask me to remind you
I already forgot
Shuffled are the details
Mismatched are all the socks
 How much does free time cost?

Oo I lost myself
Phone keys wallet 
Is there anything else?

Dust on my piano
Graveyard of guitars
Acoustic amputation
Make sense of the scars

An audience before me
The words were all gone
Silent is the singer
Forgotten are the songs

Oo I lost myself
Phone keys wallet 
Is there anything else?

Oo I lost myself
Phone keys wallet 
Is there anything else?

Dreamt that I was blind
Fell deep into the tide
Drowned in the night with my guitar
Back upon the shore
I’d left my old white horse
Without me, she broke her back and died
Dream Reader
Please rescue me
I’m a believer
I’m just lost at sea
One night I could fly
Straight ‘cross the English sky
Sweetly surprised that I knew how
And that little girl
Asked me please rule the world
How could I ever let her down
Dream Reader
Please rescue me
I’m a believer
I’m just lost at sea
Oooo
Oooo
Dream Reader
Please rescue me
I’m a believer
I’m just lost at sea
