Katherine Priddy - Eurydice (official video)

LYRICS
You’re darker these days, I thought you were sun
Stars in your eyes, when your shirt is undone
Your skin is full moon, a reflection of light
That sleeps in the daytime, stays up most of the night


A blackhole my dear, a beautiful empty
You’re sucking me dry and spitting out memories
It feels like we’re fading, you’re miles away
Are you still there, love? Do you have nothing to say?


Eurydice baby, is that your sweet footfall?
Oh say something, anything, a howl or a call
To the wilds of this wasteland, where blindly I blunder
Shatter the silence rolling through me like thunder


Don’t know what you’re thinking, can’t read your mind
I can’t read your eyes when you’re walking behind me
I trust that you’ll follow me up to the air
I wish there was something to let me know you’re still there


A kiss on my neck child to know you’re still living
The sound of your voice be it cruel or forgiving
A touch of your skin or a scratch down my spine
Anything, anything, to let me know you’re still mine


And first light of morning, a moment of still
A comma, a dash, a loaded ellipsis ‘til
You sink under slowly, I knew you were only
A shadow behind me...
I loved you blindly

Very special. I'm in my eighth decade, lifelong player/writer/singer/vinyl junkie, I'm always keeping my ear to the ground, and it's never too late to give a thumbs-up to the new emerging custodians of the true music and the spirits that drive it. Here's someone who looks likely to keep the magic alive: the hills, the sky, the longing, all timeless but always timely. Music of this quality is essential in these weird times ... Thanks & good luck, Katherine.

Now and again, very rarely if I'm honest, an artist comes along that just takes your breath away. One of the most beautiful, honest voices I've heard in a very long time.

Was introduced to this track by Radcliffe and Maconie. Can’t stop playing this.
Thanks Katherine for writing something so enchanting.

My precious, beautiful, kind and gentle wife is suffering from serious depression at the moment, and I just can’t reach her Katherine, so this song feels like everything to me right now. Thank you. X

Only recently discovered Katherine... Finally! Just received a note my copy of Eternal Rocks is on it's way to me on the West Coast, US. So refreshing to hear a sweet voice singing us her endearing, and poetic words. Her stream-of-consciousness delivery is soooo addictive. To be sure, wherever he may be, Mr. Joyce is smiling.🙂

Sublime. Few artists give me goosebumps like this… Sandy Denny is one, and now, you. Just wonderful.

[maxwelldewinter]

Just heard this on BBC 6 and had to go find it again! Sublime!

[clareatkin]

Oh my heart.Such beauty and sadness in this song.

[avalanchethecat]

There's magic here, very eager for this album release.

[derekdavies]

Best voice I have heard since I started listening to Kate Bush many many years ago.. 👏👏👏 Fantastic

[juliabestall]

Challenging, unsettling, breathtaking. Beautiful.

I got a recommendation from Amazon for The Eternal Rocks Beneath. I had never heard of Katherine but I always check out people that I don't know so I've just listened to Indigo followed by Eurydice. What remarkable songs these are and what a wonderful voice Katherine has.
The songs are haunting and harmonically rich. On the basis of just these two songs, I'm going to purchase the album and I know I won't be disappointed.

[stevecampion]

Have just discovered this artist. She is incredible what a talent. Love it.

[bobfrater]

Watched Katherine perform this last night in Perth. Brilliant.

[leggdad]

A truly beautiful and moving song that perfectly encompasses the sad story of Eurydice and Orpheus. Indeed a song worthy of Orpheus himself.

[WayneFoxPhotography]

The same qualities in your voice today as when I first had the pleasure to photograph you performing. So much delicacy and control, staggering Katherine. Staggering.

[MCwheaty]

I can’t get over how beautiful this is.

[kais]

To me this is a song about living with a partner with depression. Trying to retrieve their soul from the depths of despair. And in such a delicate act, the smallest of glances is enough to shatter everything. Such a haunting song about love and despair.

[TheFlamingBridges]

I heard you through the Nick Drake thing - This is beautiful! Good luck in anything you do x Matt

[Mono-djlo]
