Michelle Gurevich - SHOWER (Official Lyric Video)

From the new album - It Was the Moment
now out everywhere

****
My mother is dead
My children don’t let me sleep
The money’s a problem
On perpetual repeat
My wife is angry
My lover’s upset

So I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
Is no waste at all
The hotter the better
I’m at home in the steam
I suspend all decisions
With seven types of cream

I don’t speak the language
In the city I live
I once followed a girl
Now I’ve ended up here

The weather is freezing
And I’ve figured it out
Blondes lead you North
Brunettes take you South
So make sure your lover
Comes from a sunny place

I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
For my wasted heart
Hotter than most can handle
You’re welcome to try
The old systems fail
Those I honed all my life

The war keeps on going
No one knows what for
A hundred years of trauma
Lead to a hundred more

Another madman in power
Cause only madmen seek power
Their eternal revenge
That time you laughed in the shower

Everyone is depressed
Everyone is displaced
We used to be together
Now we’re all over the place

I always sought newness
Now I’m retracing my steps
Seeking what’s familiar
Scattered over continents

Life without a mother
Just isn’t the same
My loyal protector
Now a bag of grain
I wish I could call her
Miss her voice and her smile

I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
For my soul’s recall
Just beyond the bathroom
Could be my childhood home
Being an only child
Means that you mourn alone

Every time I listen to her, it feels like stepping into a whole new world. Her voice, the mystique in her songs, the lyrics… it’s like she’s narrating the soundtrack to my life. I swear, it’s like being the main character in a movie, romantizing every moment. It puts me in that perfect dark but safe space, like I’m sitting in a hotel lounge with a cocktail, watching the world go by. This is the vibe I never knew I needed. Absolute magic.

To my ears she s like a female Leonard Cohen .. Her songs sound so simple melodywise but incredibly effective .. I can t imagine what she would come up with having a bigger budget in the studio, but anyway she s one of a kind .. Love from Greece ..

So much truth and pain in just one song. Thank you for sharing yourself. If you'll accept a hug, I'm sending it virtually from Hungary, where another madman is holding on to his power for dear life.

One of the most authentic and important songwriters of the 'death of the music industry' era... A true heroine..

Another wonderful song by Michelle. Felt obliged to get the album on Bandcamp so that she (hopefully) gets some meaningful reward and is able to continue her amazing career.

Such a powerful song with an equally magical voice, leads you to the world of surrealism.

“This is the time. And this is the record of the time”
Let’s all hide in the shower 🙂
