"Persephone" by Daisy the Great
Better Company Records

persephone

the plight of the siren is no one believes her when she really loves you you'll never know
so nobody trusts her and everyone leaves her a promise is nothing the sailors all go
and she always thinks that she'll keep you beside her but slowly the instinct takes root in her throat
the plight of the siren is that she destroys everything in her hands like a bad puppet show

oooh
persephone persephone
persephone persephone persephone

the plight of the siren is she'll never sing without somebody claiming she's starting a war
and every word from her lips is a sign that she's hungry for blood she's a killer and moreso
the music is sweeter than honey but honey oh think what a monster she is at her core
the plight of the siren is that she's a menace, a beast like a wolf in candy store

oooh
persephone persephone
persephone persephone persephone

the plight of the siren is history wrote her as evil for men to avoid at all costs
call her the temptress the whore always luring those good boys ashore, the pure virtuous
the plight of the siren is everyone's always been scared of a powerful woman

persephone persephone
persephone persephone
persephone persephone
persephone persephone
persephone persephone (I'm calling)
persephone persephone
persephone persephone (I'm calling for you)
persephone persephone
persephone persephone
persephone persephone
persephone persephone
persephone persephone
persephone

"The plight of the siren is everyone's always been scared of a powerful woman." Beautiful. Just beautiful.

[cat-rzrz]

oh this song sounds so homey and warm... i can't explain it but it feels like something you'd dance in your room to at 3am :)

[boooooar]

i think this entire music video is just her messing around and having fun

[LindseyLouWho]

This is for all the Persephones out there. <3 <3 <3

[meggienimhurchu]

Gosh this was so beautiful. Going to be on repeat for sure.

I adore the moment at 1:16 where the camera zooms in on her dancing, just as the music picks up!! Such a great transition to the chorus and it really matches the rhythm of the song. Everything in this video walks the line between intense and dream-like, which is SO fascinating to watch <3

No matter how how famous Daisy gets, she will always be underrated.

This song gave me such aggressive goosebumps my skin almost jumped off my body. Heart wrenching and true to its core.

[mayabrook]

chilling. wow! so beautiful. couldn't take my eyes off the dancer and I loved the lyrics

[elizabethbroden]

currently crying about how beautiful this song and music video is.

[leahcameron]

Beautiful as always!! The dancer did a great job wow

[ged]

Found this song a few days ago and i cant believe i have lived without it for 3 years.

[maggiedewellington]

Very beautiful song ☺️ Perfect melody and lyrics 💗

[tannerharmon]

Damn, great indie artists are coming out of the woodwork rn.

[linhchivan]

the concept is beautiful. love the lyrics! but i guess it's more likely about Calypso than Persephone. the "siren", "temptress", "music", "sailors", "ashore" make me think about Calypso. anw i love the vibe of alll your songs and music videos

[Victoryayaya]

I love the camera work of this music video. And as always, the song is amazing

[MackyFermion]

The performance in this video was so brazenly honest, intimate and vulnerable... What a fantastic piece of artwork. Three cheers for Daisy the Great and Matilda Sakamoto.

[arwenlyra]

Beautiful song! And beautiful video <3

Beautiful work! I feel it could also be titled “plight of the manic pixie dream girl”. The male gaze is lured in by the beauty and novelty of independence... until they realize that all of that this isn’t a show for them. That chaos, power, and creativity of those identifying as female... it isn’t for men’s entertainment or radical therapy. The magic of the pixies... it is for the goddamn pixies. It is still there and present even when men get scared or bored because it isn’t about them. Great song. EXCELLENT choreography. A+++

I have no words to explain how much this song means to me. Thank you so much. I connect to few musicians like I connect to you guys.
