lyrics

Dry my hair, my feet are clean. Dry my hair, I'll be your queen. And my young fire-blown skeleton, like new born glass is gently quivering, I hold death in my lap, I suckle him, new born lips gently spittling, sweating life from every pore. Dry my hair, my feet are clean. Dry my hair, I'll be your queen. And once my heart had a skeleton, a brave young heart, young fire-blown skeleton, like newborn glass, sugar, open. But flame headed death is now my companion, as we walk barefoot the glass rattling garden, my bled-out, love flushed, young wild skeleton, winter's gaze where flame has broken, burns my tears, my heart outspoken, shaken down red and burning, the fire trees wildly sing. Dry my hair, my feet are clean. Dry my hair, I'll be your queen. Dry my hair, on falling stars. Dry my hair in young death airs.

Christmas like it used to be before the Puritans. A bit. Robert Day

Earth Mirror

Memerizing and haunting while also beautiful and sedating. Earth Mirror is a beautiful record and Hawthonn a superb and necessary project. We are far apart on the political spectrum and also geographically but this music makes a real connection with me. Superb! Bill Shannon

Amazing album that really opened my eyes because Laura takes an instrument I thought was completely exhausted in terms of musical exploration and experimentation and completely proved me wrong. If the violin can still be improved upon in 2020, there are no limits. loljkvid
