I never thought I could get near the sun this close and not be burned
My fear of riding high up on the hills and fall has disappeared
I can put on my fake and almost real pair of wings
And I can play with the wind and lay on it and just drift in
I might get hurt, I might lose things, but I know, I know I'll reach this star
Someday I'll find a secret path to a greater hope, a better sky to fly away from here
I never thought I could dive in the sea this long without breathing
The sound of silence is breaking my ears, but I'm free, so I'll stay still
I can let myself go and forget all the craziness
Of this world down below, the things they do, this afterglow
I might get hurt, I might get lost, but I know, I know I'll reach this star
Someday I'll find a secret path to a greater land, a better life
I might get hurt, I might lose things, but I know, I know I'll reach this star
Someday I'll find a secret path to a greater hope, a better sky to fly away from here
I might get hurt, I might get lost, but I know, I know I'll reach this star
Someday I'll find a secret path to a greater land, a better life
I might get hurt, I might lose things, but I know, I know I'll reach this star
Someday I'll find a secret path to a greater hope, a better sky to fly away from here

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
What do I say? I love Amanda. She's inspirational, not just her music but her whole personality! This album is fun, serious, heartwarming and inspirational spacehawk.mp3
Charming German indie pop with the keen melodic sensibilities and melancholic undercurrent of some of the style's best practitioners. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 26, 2021
Despite its themes of isolation and loneliness, Caroline White's latest batch of folk-pop confessionals is an LP brimming with confidence. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
