about

This is a reimagined version of "This is Old," which first appeared on Silver Godling's S/T (2019).

lyrics

This is old.
We are old.
The repetition of digging out veins
Used to cause spurting blood
And now, even veins are tired
Blood has dried
The cracked remnants
The bed that used to cradle the waters
As they rushed and fed and drank
This is old.
In its dryness
In its disuse
In its overuse

Hugging knees into chest.
Wrapping arms around.
Hugging into ourselves,
like hugging a long-lost-and-found friend
We must comply.
We must surrender.

This is old.
In its teasing and taking
In its blooming
In its dying

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
