The Texas-born Big Thief guitarist returns with an beautifully stirring, evocative, poetic love-enthralled indie-folk single of free association made-up words and quantum leap feelings, rolling drums and strums, heralding his upcoming fourth solo album, The Mirror, out on 27 February via 4AD. He has also recorded six albums with Big Thief. To explore more by Buck Meek, see also the other embedded links below.
Making words up while we made love
One month and she's in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or will it be her
To say I love you first?
Built a fire with oak, and juniper, and cypress
Gasoline, I knew she’d like it
She drew Orion on my belly with her finger
Then I asked if I could kiss her
Making words up while we made love
One month and she's in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or will it be her
To say I love you first?
We lay in silence through thе morning
Until language slowly started forming
She hummеd a lullaby
I recognized from when I was a newborn
Making words up while we made love
One month and she's in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or will it be her
To say I love you first?
One million years, maybe I’ll be a light beam
Lonely laser in the vacuum
And maybe she's a photon too
And we'll pass through each other, tied in quantum
Making words up while we made love
One month and she's in my blood
Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro
Will it be me or will it be her
To say I love you first?
