lyrics
I wake up early
Make my coffee slow
Pour my morning in a cup
When I drink I know
I know that I’ve been living In a lie of your design
Three years in I see the cracks
And I know I don’t need I don’t need you
Keeping me in line I don’t want you making up my mind
Step by step I am walking making my own path
Leaving you behind
What did I miss
Locked inside your gaze
Stuck atop a pedestal
Scared to move or make mistakes
You had me feeling so alone
Blind and deaf to anyone
Telling me I did not need I didn’t need you
Keeping me in line didn’t want you making up my mind
Step by step I am walking making my own path
Leaving you behind
You will never be enough you will always be too much (Don’t listen)
Don’t sit and take it
Days go by
Without a trace of you
And in the space you leave behind
I can tend my garden I can finally say
Without a shadow of a doubt
That when you come around again
Won’t mistake you for a friend
So come in close and listen
Cause I want you to know I don’t need you
Keeping me in line I don’t want you making up my mind
Step by step I am walking making my own path
Leaving you behind

I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals). brit_b
Why isn't Lula Wiles a bigger deal, they're so cool?? I was waiting patiently to hear the follow-up to What Will We Do and this album did not disappoint 💖 I love the lyrical themes they keep exploring & the intimate feel of their storytelling. It's hard to pick a favourite track, it changes with the time of day (or night). wool of bat
