when i look back it hurts me less
to start with the end and leave the rest
when we parted like the sea
just to find i was made of you, and you of me
the continents they came like knives
plunging us into divide
and we were mirrors, sitting face to face
endless echoes of each other’s grace
i never learned how to love
i just learned how to love you
and why was a word that was not often heard
but i made do
i clenched my teeth and withered at your feet
i was north and you were south
my compass lived to seek you out
from where i stood there wasn’t much to see
there wasn’t much without you facing me
i never learned how to love
i just learned how to love you
and why was a word that was not often heard
but not this time through
i’m heading east
or away from you at least
away from you at least

Why isn't Lula Wiles a bigger deal, they're so cool?? I was waiting patiently to hear the follow-up to What Will We Do and this album did not disappoint 💖 I love the lyrical themes they keep exploring & the intimate feel of their storytelling. It's hard to pick a favourite track, it changes with the time of day (or night). wool of bat
My CD came with a personalized hand written thank you note from the band, confirming that they are as lovely and genuine as their music. It will stay with the CD forever. Thank you. jtl1313
Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 30, 2020
Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead.
