A lazy Sunday song? There’s so more going on here in this new single from American folk singer-songwriter, taken from her forthcoming seventh album, Riderless Horse, and first for 12 years since 2010’s Outlaster. Dealing with many issues, including mental health problems, it’s also the her first fully solo album without her former partner Kennan Gudjonsson as producer.
Out on Temporary Residence. To explore more of Nina’s work, see the embedded Bandcamp and Spotify links below.
I like it here in bed
Don’t push me out
instead if you miss me
I will pull down the sheets
There’s much we can do here
alone or together
Whatever you please
it will please me for sure
Right now I’m unhappy
and happy feels sappy
With you here beside me
something will rise
and the evening will fly
Fly into sunrise
We’re out of the shadows
and maybe just maybe
I won’t want to hide
But hiding is fine for me
and if you push this into something so bright
that my eyes fail to see
you will go down with me
I can be still as a pond when the lily pads keep to themselves no direction in hand
You’re always going and flowing like rivers that crash over rocks and know just how to land
I like it here in bed
alone when I’m feeling dead
Death is a terrible place to stay long
But I can’t control it
The poison’s a slow drip
Dim is the day and there’s nothing to be done about it
So if you miss me
I will pull down the sheets
and maybe just maybe
the dark will subside
and the rise will feel fine
