Delicate, vivid, tenderly sensitive, piano-accompanied new work by the moniker of experimental singer-songwriter Trevor Powers, with a new single, out on Fat Possum Records. It follows another from earlier this year, Lucy Takes a Picture. To explore and enjoy more by Youth Lagoon, see also the other embedded links below.
I hold your hand while you’re holding up the candle.
You understand what you’re bold enough to handle.
You understand what to say.
My beautiful girl. (x2)
A dollar-store, rubber Jesus on the mantle.
You stash your pills at the bottom of his sandals.
His feet are wearing away.
My beautiful girl. (x4)
For the world,
You’ve come this far.
Deep into the dark we go.
Hell was painted on your arms.
People live with scars I know.
Your mama screamed when you thought she couldn’t scream more.
Your daddy’s deaf so he never heard the screen door.
You walk the old desert road.
My beautiful girl. (x4)
