ONLY WIND
I was the child with the chasm inside
That the world would ignore as I stood at the door
High above the sun the dreamer has his fun
For the shadows are deep and the waters do weep round here
I recall your face from some far ancient place
You held out your hand but I turned away and ran
My mind is taken under, my heart is silent thunder
I am in the world, never seen and never heard
Can you hear the wind?
I can hear the wind
Can you hear the wind?
It is only wind you hear
The birds upon the trees all turn silent and freeze
And the creatures on the ground are nowhere to be found
I am captive to your will on the house upon the hill
Let’s just go out and play in the flowers and the hay
Can you hear the wind?
I can hear the wind
Can you hear the wind?
There is only wind round here

RAIN DOWN
Rain down on my life
The future is today
Rain down on my life
and wash it all away
Rain down on my life
A ghost for every dream
Rain down on my life
and make me so clean...
Rain down on my life
It can't get any drier
Rain down on my life
and put out all the fires
Rain down on my life
Send me to the edge
Rain down on my life
and mess with my head...
I feel it
I feel it
I feel it
I feel it now...
Rain down on my life
A journey of sin
Rain down on my life
and soak me to the skin
Rain down on my life
It's all in my blood
Rain down on my life
and drown me in the flood...

SWEETHEARTS LAKE
Here is the Sweethearts Lake
The world is half awake
and the sky is magical...
Nobody ever comes
Not a lonely hum
can be heard for miles around...
This is the longest night
I'll dream with all my might
holding onto this kite string...
This is my sacrifice
You can not realize
because you're never here with me...
The Sweethearts Lake knows every move I make
It sparkles and shimmers,
it swallows and it shakes and so...
I'm holding onto this kite string all along
If I let it go, I'll let myself go under with the flow...

NEW TOMORROW
Letting go of you was the best that I can do
I have always been alone
A circle in a circle
Pleasure from the hurt, a garden from the dirt
There is some hope for tomorrow
Thoughts of you have gone for good...
If I want it all to stand upright and tall
Above the shadows and the waste
The world and all its sorrows
I'll reach into my chest
Steal the bird from its nest
Perched amongst the butterflies
I'll offer it to anyone that sees some hope for me
A candle in the night
The layers left to peel
An endless spinning wheel
that spins into a new tomorrow
One where I can be so true...
When all that's left to do
is start the day anew
A forest fire will burn forever
spreading through my garden
Swallowing the air
The wind is in my hair
I want it just to last forever
I'll offer it to anyone that sees some hope for me
A flicker in the night
The layers left to peel
An endless spinning wheel
that spins into a new tomorrow
One where I can be so true...

everything is fine. nothing is ok. dog and i are on a late night walk. we are together. we are in our own worlds. all is well. nothing is certain. there is the rhythm of street light, shadow, street light, shadow, street li--- we should go home now, Maggie is sleeping.

Anna Arobas makes intricate, otherworldly folk-pop with delicate, glacial arrangements but a howl of heartbreak at the center.

Will I Still Bloom?

Heartland indie rock that’s like Angel Olsen at her fuzziest fronting a gnarlier Mazzy Star.
