Persephone by Daisy House 2018

Показать описание

Another song from ‘the spooky side’ of Daisy House…
I always liked songs that had a little “Halloween” in ‘em when I was a kid: the Kinks’ “Sunny Afternoon”, “Dead End Street”, ”Hey Little Red Riding Hood”, “Is That All There Is”, "For What It's Worth", “Those Were The Days” etc

People ask why I “bother” with Politics and the simple reason is I’ve always been drawn to “the Big Picture”.
I pay attention to that stuff because A: who doesn’t love a good “War Story”? and more importantly, B. that “bigness” feeds “bigger art”.

Pop music is great but if it somehow also touches on its ’Times’ it’s even ’greater’ imho

Yeah, you can look at it as a simple adaptation of the myth of a captured beauty dreaming of escape, or as a tale of a “kept woman” more than ready to leave her soft prison, but for me “Persephone” is, as I’ve said, more a song/metaphor about ‘our’ times; times in which we find that the myriad deals with the devil – of Globalism – that we’ve cut are beginning to bear some very sour ‘fruit’…Will “she” escape? Won’t “she”?
Stay tuned. We are all in Hades now…

“I’m the lady of the house and I’m yours against my will
i crossed the Fire river to your mansion on the hill
i woke up violated with the smell of sulphur near
and most days i can’t wait to get the hell right out of here

It’s a fine life, as simple as can be
you provide the doorway, and I’ll provide the key
and I think I’m goin’ insane
Persephone is my name

You tricked me into staying with a gift i can’t resist
a fruit as hard as nails and red as any lips i’ve kissed
a line as rich as poetry
a song as sweet as wine
and now i’m stuck inside with you
for seasons at a time

It’s a fine life, as simple as can be
one day you will close your eyes and one day I’ll be free
& no I’m not to blame
Persephone is my name

Once upon a time i might have gotten used to you
not that you have the looks to make me fall in love it’s true
it might have been your loneliness, it might have been your scowl
but now i count the minutes as the storms of winter howl

It’s a fine life, as simple as can be
you keep me in luxury and I keep you in me
& i so feel the strain
Persephone is my name

it’s always dark and dangerous, you’re always in a mood
i bring you pretty things and set the table with your food
but you stay on the lookout as my mind stays on the prowl
singing you to sleep as you look up at me and growl

It’s a fine life, as simple as can be
you provide the doorway, and I’ll provide the key
and no i’m not insane
Persephone is my name
and i’ll be keeping my eyes on you…i’ll be keeping my eyes on you.....yes, i’ll be keepin my eyes on you...
