LYRICS:

over the dead sea keeping you company, thinking
i'm unafraid of you now, I’m unafraid of you now
letting my eyes close, shedding my soft clothes
wind blows, wind that howls like a hound
wind that laughs like a clown

mystery of lack stabbing stars through my back
forwards, beckon, rebound

virtual bedroom rise like a full moon show me
pictures that hang in your house pictures
that hang in your mouth
candescent insects crosses and fishnecks, i have
nothing to pray to you now, nothing to say to you now

mystery of lack stabbing stars through my back
forwards, beckon, rebound

pulling your face close, wanting the inmost, show me.
I’m not afraid of you now. I’m not afraid of you now.
Villain and Violent, infant and innocent, baby
both arms cradle you now, both arms

mystery of lack stabbing stars through my back
forwards, beckon, rebound

[annalolasnow]

I have a kitten I’m fostering and this is the song I sing to her, it’s her comfort song now

[Thercher]

I love how natural Adrianne is. Just Vibin in the middle of nowhere

[cesarmajorana]

Artists dancing like no one is watching is my fave videoclip genre

[jbonillaguitar]

A child at play and fighting demons all the same. Beautiful and innocent. This is incredible, I'm glad I found this.

[alexs.]

Whoever controls the universe is looking out for me by bringing this into existence

[headphones]

she just captures raw emotion so well. her music is so human and i feel like a child again listening to it. i can only hope that i might embody a similar level of true emotional understanding

[KlooKloo]

the fucking bursts of dust in the wind with every footstep is calling to a very deep part of my unconscious. Entranced.

[lesbiasian]

watching this at 1am as the first mv I’ve seen of hers. I think I’m in love

[youngnoclout]

stunning. there's something so powerful about how it's kind of awkward to watch, because the emotions conveyed are so intense, but it's still captivating and so evocative.

[danaomoush]

Over the Dead Sea, keepin' you company
Thinkin', "I'm not afraid of you now"
I'm not afraid of you now
Lettin' my eyes close, sheddin' my soft clothes
Wind blows, wind that howls like a hound
Wind that laughs like a clown
Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Virtual bedroom, rise like a full moon
Show me pictures that hang in your house
Pictures that hang in your mouth
Candescent insects, crosses and fishnets
I have nothin' to pray now
Nothin' to pray now
Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Pullin' your face close, wanting the inmost
Show me I'm not afraid of you now
I'm not afraid of you now
Villain and violent, infant and innocent
Baby, both arms cradle you now
Both arms cradle you now
Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound

I was walking through Washington Square Park in the spring of 2014 when I heard Adrianne and Buck playing. My wife and I sat and watched them play "Paul, " "Indiana, " and "Kerina." Blown away, I wrote a feature based on the songs from the EP we bought that day. Thank you for this music, it still gives me goosebumps.

[DoggerDogDoo]

My heart ached so hard listening to this, this is like the comfort i never had...

[gatrSmash]

Are you kidding me with this? How.. beautiful. I so long to be this carefree.

[magicjoeblack]

Brave, beautiful and beguiling - as long as Adrianne Lenker is writing and sharing her music there is more right with the world than there is wrong with it. Heartfelt thank you, you made my soul sigh and smile.

[sheenabernett]

I didn't understand the lyrics to this song until I saw this video. I completely get it now...the specificity and way she languages through movement is so incredibly clear!

[giulia]

"nothing's wrong, it's okay" all I can think about when I listen to this

[cleopatraortiz]

I hope whoever’s recording this understands how lucky they are

[butterflyybb_]

this feels so pure and vulnerable in the most beautiful ways possible

[kristinhess]

Listening to Adriienne Lenker is like reremembering a lullaby.

[ohrenhoehe]

Dance, more so even than music, is the gentle whistling of the safety valve of the soul.
