A delicate, mysterious, magical, ethereal and experimental single by the London duo of the singer Theodora Laird and bassist Caius Williams, with layers of gentle droning synths, drum ripples and half-whispered vocals from the upcoming album Goodness, out on 10 October via AD 93. The duo also occasionally perform under the name Crosspiece. To explore and enjoy more by feeo, including another single, The Mountain, see also the other embedded links below.
Oh
The nail pierced the drum
Tore it to pieces
Like splinters from cherry pits under my tongue
Oh only
Only human
If I could recall
Every one of your virtues
Like scribbles on note pads in spring
In the summer
In the afternoon
Oh
The hammer strikes the bell
And everyone listens as someone is talking
And we want to know why it rings
Oh only
Human
And
We’ll build a fortress of all our inventions
And we’ll kiss the moon while it sinks
To oblivion
Black
right where we left it
Hallelujah Hallelujah
We’re home
Oh
Oh only
Human
We left
Pink flowers in piles on the shoreline
For God
For someone
To answer our prayers
Ring ring
Ring ring
The hammer strikes the bell
Ring ring
Ring ring
And God sent a wave
Ring ring
Ring ring
The hammer strikes the bell
Ring ring
Ring ring
To wash us away
