There's a sadness that we all keep in varying degrees tucked away in the back of our minds that Ethel has a unique way of getting ahold of and reminding us it's there. And not in a bad way that makes you want to climb a building and hurl yourself into the abyss either. More of a cathartic release that is therapeutic and in the end reminds you it's ok to be sad sometimes. It's ok to hurt because we all hurt. Not many people on this planet past or present can get past that locked door but Ethel does and I think we're all the better for it.
this song is just magical. i will NEVER get over it. and if you’ve never seen ethel cain in concert, just know she is somehow even BETTER live than the studio recordings!!
Sun bleached flies sitting in the windowsill Waiting for the day they escape They talk all about that money and how their babies are always changing while they're breathing in the poison of the paint What I wouldn't give to be in Church this Sunday Listening to the choir, so heartfelt, all singing God loves you, but not enough to save you So, baby girl, good luck taking care of yourself [Chorus] So I said fine, 'cause that's how my daddy raised me If they strike once then you just hit 'em twice as hard But in the end, if I bend under the weight that they gave me Then this heart would break and fall as twice as far [Verse 2] We all know how it goes The more it hurts, the less it shows But I still feel like they all know, and that's why I can never go back home And I spend my life watching it go by from the sidelines And God, I've tried, but I think it's about time I put up a fight [Chorus] But I don't mind 'cause that's how my daddy raised me (How my daddy raised me) If they strike once then you just hit 'em twice as hard But I always knew that in the end no one was coming to save me So I just prayed and I keep praying and praying and praying [Bridge] If it's meant to be then it will be So I met him there and told him I believe Singing if it's meant to be then it'll be I forgive it all as it comes back to me (Back to me) If it's meant to be then it will be So I met him there and told him I believe (I believe, yeah) Singing if it's meant to be then it will be (Oh, oh) I forgive it all as it comes back to me (It comes back to me) If it's meant to be then it'll be (It'll be, it'll be, it'll be) So I met him there and told him I believe (Yeah) Singing if it's meant to be then it will be I forgive it all as it comes back to me (Oh) [Outro] I'm still praying for that house in Nebraska By the highway, out on the edge of town Dancing with the windows open I can't let go when something's broken It's all I know and it's all I want now

i dont know about the first question but no, estrogen will not change your voice, if her voice dropped she most likely did vocal training, transvoicelessons is a great channel if you need resources :)
Yeah if she had to voice train (which I’m guessing because she didn’t come out as trans til like 20 or something right?) then that’s incredible. I couldn’t imagine trying to train my voice and making it sound that good
How am I ever supposed to be normal again after this album?
It's so powerful
I don't think you are. That's the point. This is what art is supposed to be ❤️
@@ginayoung130 well said.
She's ultimately ruined us all. And I'm fine with it.
it literally changed me as a person, i will never shut up about this album, ever again!!
and I forgive it all as it comes back to me😭😭
One of my favorite lines😭
never fails to make me cry 💔
I feel sorry for whoever that hasn’t found out this masterpiece yet
I feel sorry for whoever that has found out too 😔

Florence Welch / Florence & The Machine get that door knocked too. Give them a listen if you haven’t ❤️ amazing comment
"Sun bleached flies sitting in the window sill. Waiting for the day they escape." Hits hard for me every time.
burst into tears first time i heard this line
What does this line meaning?
Ugh she’s so talented, definitely has it all to become the next big thing
"if it's meant to be then it will be"
Astounding album and incredible live. A once-in-a-generation talent.
her talent is insane
this is my fav off the album, it makes me cry every single time
Me too

Me four
Me five
GOD LOVES YOU, BUT NOOOOTTT ENOUGH TO SAAAVE YOUUUU
I need a full orchestra rendition of this song so bad
this song is just magical. i will NEVER get over it. and if you’ve never seen ethel cain in concert, just know she is somehow even BETTER live than the studio recordings!!
She´s an angel i have no doubt
Love the improvised televangelism-esque outro!
Ethel Cain has changed my life
I literally have no words for how amazing this woman is
she's such a stunning writer and performer
If it’s meant to be, it will be 🤍
I'm actually crying real tears
These lyrics are actually insane. What a poet.
So good, my ears have been blessed. She truly is a peaceful island in an ocean of hate
I really love everything about this song. Ethel Cain is the chosen one
hayden is absolutely talented. i get chills every time.
I just found this song a couple days ago and cannot stop listening
Thank you KEXP and Hayden. Love this!.

What I wouldn't give to be in Church this Sunday
Listening to the choir, so heartfelt, all singing
God loves you, but not enough to save you
So, baby girl, good luck taking care of yourself
[Chorus]
So I said fine, 'cause that's how my daddy raised me
If they strike once then you just hit 'em twice as hard
But in the end, if I bend under the weight that they gave me
Then this heart would break and fall as twice as far
[Verse 2]
We all know how it goes
The more it hurts, the less it shows
But I still feel like they all know, and that's why I can never go back home
And I spend my life watching it go by from the sidelines
And God, I've tried, but I think it's about time I put up a fight
[Chorus]
But I don't mind 'cause that's how my daddy raised me (How my daddy raised me)
If they strike once then you just hit 'em twice as hard
But I always knew that in the end no one was coming to save me
So I just prayed and I keep praying and praying and praying
[Bridge]
If it's meant to be then it will be
So I met him there and told him I believe
Singing if it's meant to be then it'll be
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (Back to me)
If it's meant to be then it will be
So I met him there and told him I believe (I believe, yeah)
Singing if it's meant to be then it will be (Oh, oh)
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (It comes back to me)
If it's meant to be then it'll be (It'll be, it'll be, it'll be)
So I met him there and told him I believe (Yeah)
Singing if it's meant to be then it will be
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (Oh)
[Outro]
I'm still praying for that house in Nebraska
By the highway, out on the edge of town
Dancing with the windows open
I can't let go when something's broken
It's all I know and it's all I want now
crying and shaking rn
I love you, mother
celestial vibes
Haunting.
My God.

This song is religious to me
mother
eu perdoo tudo aquilo que vem contra mim.
why does she have a full band now?
I can see that alanis's music influenced her alot.
حبيبتي
How long has she been on Estrogen, and will it change her singing voice? It's honest as it is.
i dont know about the first question but no, estrogen will not change your voice, if her voice dropped she most likely did vocal training, transvoicelessons is a great channel if you need resources :)
@@gamingcat5237 Thanks, i'd forgotten about this. She has an amazing talent, as a lyricist and singer.
wait..she is trans???
@@FrierenFer yes
Yeah if she had to voice train (which I’m guessing because she didn’t come out as trans til like 20 or something right?) then that’s incredible. I couldn’t imagine trying to train my voice and making it sound that good
Lana Del Rey vibes ~
Wtf no
@@clararaclette750 i mean the low voice, and high pitch is O'connor (rip)
more like florence and the machine but i see a little bit of lana too i think they sound alike
shes amazing. but def prefer the more upbeat version mashup with Robyn. That type of music is where she needs to focus!
Your music is so healing. Thank you for doing what you do. You're important❤
Truly
