What I’m listening to...

She wrote the song about her deceased mother. It is very moving, most of us can relate to this kind of loss. ❤️

You kiss me, you soothe me
Embrace me, reassure me
You catch me, you long for me
Infinitely you deprive me
You call me, you hear me
You save and disturb me
Believe me, rob me
Suffocate and numb me
You breathe and live me
Shudder and tremble me
Trust me, consider me
As a human being and restrain me
From angry dreams
That come to mind
The lonely questions
Of finite happiness

With your curls like night
How you talk, how you laugh
How your voice so close
Like an angel's softening
Flowing through my dreams
Infinite emptiness
You slow me down, you tame me
You move and stir me
I miss you, I miss you
I grab you, I snatch you
I want you, I play you
I move and command you
To stay with me
In dark nights
So that I no longer yearn
For you

Let me go
I need to be alone now
And hold me tight when I need you
In my thoughts and I search for you
In everything around me
But even though I sometimes think
That it's better this way
I can't help it
That I sometimes miss you

Oh, I smother you, I froze you
Release and lose you
Gone to another place
But I hear you
Embrace you, warm you
I see and I feel you
I caress you, I caress you
I hug and cuddle you
You mature me, understand me
Confuse and deceive me
It scares me sometimes
How much I resemble you now
My smile, my tears
My love, my experiences
I'm sorry for everything
Come help and free me
And let me go
I can do it alone
But hold me when I need you
In my thoughts and I find you
In everything around me
But even though I sometimes think
That it's better this way
I can't help it
That I sometimes miss you

I kiss you, I soothe you
I deafen and extinguish you
You stay very close to me
But in my mind you rest
Understanding the lyrics only underpins the poignant tones of the melody and her beautiful voice. Her tone reminds me of an acoustic version of Alanis Morrissette.
Thank you for sharing xx
 
And no.. this isn't where I'm at tonight, but damn if these lyrics don't fucking hit so herd

Would it be wrong, would it be right?
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight
And I'm contemplating suicide
