lyrics
I am the one calling you at night
I come riding on the pale moonlight
I am the knocking at your door
I am the body you’ve forgotten lying on the floor
I am the flower that refused to bloom
I am the sun that sets too soon
I am the fly sleeping on the wall
I am everything that is
I am nothing at all
I am the thorn sticking in your side
I am your self-destructive, swollen pride
I am the blood sucked from the land
I am an unborn child, a sacrificial lamb
I am your ever-growing indignation
I am your pickpocket inspiration
And I am big, so big you see
Without you there is no me
My bag of bones
Bring your body on home
Sweet heart of stone
You’ve gone and left me all alone
You are the earth under my feet
You are the house across the street
You are a silver dream so sweet
You are a secret so discreet
You are the beat to which my heart pounds
You are the roots that keep me ground
You are the skin in which I’m free
Without you there is no me
My bag of bones
Bring your body on home
Sweet heart of stone
You’ve gone and left me all alone
I am the muscle, the bone, the fat
I am the horns under your hat
We are entwined you know it’s true
Without me there is no you

Written, performed and produced by André Leo & Lucy Kruger.
It's been a really long time since I've been that impressed by songwriting so creative and smart, plus the courage in displaying such vulnerability, and touched by the sheer beauty of the music, all at the same time. (I'm usually not a fan of digital only music purchases, but just had to make an exception here, after having the pleasure of experiencing a live gig by the wonderful Lucy, and buying the followup album on CD there - also heavily recommended!) mawit
An almost anti-blues/anti-rock style that masters classic sounds while mocking the industry’s perceived seriousness. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 27, 2018
British folk musician Tom Nash built these delicate and moving songs around a broken harmonium, allowing its limitations to open up worlds. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 12, 2021
