little lark peeked into the dark
and said, i hate the sun it burns my wings
i want to howl, to make love to the owl
i want to do vagrant dusky things
but to be the warp and weft
is to leave yourself bereft
leave yourself with nothing left to use
to dust off your own shoes once again
i was told i was something to behold
and where i flew the light would follow me
but this job’s been done, there’s a million other suns,
and there’s a lot of girls named emily
and if you took their bones
and removed them from their homes
i wouldn’t find my own among the rest
i’d be fooled by my own chest once again
little lark peeked into the dark
and said, i hate the sun it burns my wings
it hurts to mourn, oh it hurts to be born
it hurts to learn what’s in between
and when the lessons come
they won’t wait for you to run
they’ll be aiming fast their gun against your chest
and with their bullets you’ll be blessed once again

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.
