Rider do you know where the spirit goes to die
Does is gently melt away or simply fade into the sky
Does it wither in fear frail and flawed
Rotting in the reeds forgotten by God
Rider do you see the tenderness in me is gone
An endless eulogy between you and me for so long
Is it a case of self-infliction or a game simply rigged
A useless bit of fiction in a wire wig
Come on
Get ready
I am not leaving
Without you again
Do your best not to fail avoid all eye contact
Choke me with your wedding veil and paint my body black
Feed me trust and compassion and all the things I lack
Teach me how to be behave and not overreact
Come on
Get ready
I am not leaving
Without you again
Rider do you know where the spirit goes to die
Does it forever roam alone in the space between you and I
Does it feel does it sleep does it weep does it ache
Forgive forget forbid forsake
What does it need what does it take
To breathe to bloom to bleed to break
What a pity that I discovered this Berlin-based band 3 years after their dismissal. Hats off to Lute FP who pointed at this, their swan-song.
Sometimes this reminds me of a rawer version of Andrea Schroeder, elsewhere of PJ Harvey's earlier stuff, where you could never predict the next emotional/musical outburst.
I'm excited to learn that one half of this project was the same Lucy Kruger I'm going to see (with the Lost Boys) on next year's OBS in the Glitterhouse garden! Carsten Pieper
An almost anti-blues/anti-rock style that masters classic sounds while mocking the industry’s perceived seriousness. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 27, 2018
