i love my gothic fairy pirate cowgirl queen

[mydearaurora]

This song makes me feel like I'm descending to madness and ascending to heaven at the same time

[Julia-hjnn]

i love the muted earthy goth aesthetic of this album and its visuals

[Djoodibooti]

This song sounds how that feeling of being warm and cold at the same time feels. So good.

[MarinaAndTheDevil]

An absolute favorite. A song like no other.

[WlerickBigotOfficial]

I swear, the way she sing this song... I though I'll never be able to hear again this kind of vibes in my entire life (dark, deep, ancient, not from this world, outer space, godlike vibes. Like "I am shell I am bone" and "Men like gods" from Gazelle Twin in the album "The entire city"), but Caroline just did it with this track, I'm speechless...

But at the same time, I don't know why, I shouldn't even be surprised =)

This one hit the hardest in my soul it’s sad to me how this one isn’t that popular in the Pang album since to me it’s probably the most beautiful slow song I’ve heard in a while.

[xFlamingCitrusx]

how can something with so little repetition and such a slow melody be so catchy?? not to mention just magical and ethereal and darkly beautiful in such a unique way. my favorite song on the album

[mannyflores]

This is no doubt one of the best songs in the album, it's so haunting I love it

[GeorgiaWillSing]

The peaks and depths of this song man... just... I can't even describe it.

[Dechral]

you know those songs that haunt your head-space throughout the day when you're doing shit and not listening to music? Those special melodies that find solace in a corner of your mind and echo to you, and your thoughts echo them back until you have time to relax and listen to the song again. This is one of those for me

[neilparnell]

A lullaby for the forsaken and lost. What a majestically powerful sound.

[joshuaanderson]

This is my favorite song on Pang. It is so mysterious and magical! Emotion all over the place!

[giorgioc]

This is crazy. No matter how many times I listen to this song, I always end up in tears. Mind you, I'm not a 16 yo girl, I'm a 50+ man. And still.

Something similar happens with Parachute, but Insomnia... when she hits those high pitches I simply lose it

[GeorgiaWillSing]

I think this song haunts me the most with this melody and its meandering from lows to highs. Like playing every key on a piano.... just damn. Caroline is a goddess.

[cristinahawke]

I can't deal with how beautiful this song is. Just listened with my new studio monitors and it was a full body experience.

[GreatWonderMoose]

If y'all can ever hear her live, please do. This song in particular is absolutely mind blowing.

[leadnitrate]

The best and most unique song on the album.. the vocal distortion is so well used here..

[ScreamySuwu]

The way this just literally screams at my soul is terrifyingly awesome and I am crying thank you.

[aurora]

It almost feels like a lullaby I absolutely love this track
