Maybe that will now be “God’s Country”, after the Trump campaign adopts it first!!! 😂😂😂 Not that I am American but I sure do appreciate that feeling she has for the dispossessed and weirdos , just people trying to get by.
When this got removed from Spotify, I was gutted. It's easily my favorite White Silas song... Then I saw it on the track list for Preacher's Daughter (EC1) and maybe I screamed.
“and i found photographs of our school on the day we met, i thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, i guess” this like makes me feel things i never thought i could feel, its so simple yet so powerful!! love her so so so much
So for what it’s worth, I’m a 50 yr old bearded blue collar dude from Ohio who’s currently wearing a black metal band shirt... my point being... music is a beauty that can translate itself across perceptions... now, doing THAT to this compositional and emotive level is rare and special. This is ‘holy wow’ good. So is the new EP that I listened to twice today. Fucking standing O. Out of the park. A+ on the exam. Salutes from the bridge. Etceteras. I hope every single ounce of this potential is realized.
Your last sentence is what us earnest Ethel fans must help to realise and bring forth..Inshallah and Ethel-hu Akhbar!!! In an attempt to be serious, I would say that her subtle rhythmic , emphasising of lines and gliding and shifting the melody like she owns it(which she does …duh!) is heartbreakingly heartbreaking.
Glad I'm not the only 50+ yo old digging Ethel. I'm a father of three, ex commercial fisherman, for God's sakes. Ethel, Please don't ever stop making music. For us 50 yo blue collar dads, and anyone else with good taste.
i’m a black metal *musician* and i’m also super into this. it might also help that as a trans woman addressing harrowing topics in my own music i can deeply relate to ethel more than i can most other black metal musicians.
As a late and middle aged adopter and neophyte of Ethel , she changed my ranking of previous loved (male)solo artists… and here we are thinking Leornard Cohen, Nick Drake, Geoff Buckley …she is in that class…but, to be hyperbolic, she is also unqualifyingly ‘better. It’s called progress.
@@Umbrey_Dunctum oh can I add to your list Hozier, Aurora (Jeff Buckley is my special favorite nothing effects me like his rendition of Hallelujah, it's a perfect piece of art)
"Your mama calls me sometimes To see if i'm doing well" This line means so much to me. Many years ago (35+) I ended a relationship with a very nice lady. With the advent of Facebook we were both on the same old workplace group and we have become Facebook friends. It wasn't until after my Mum died a couple of years ago that my ex girlfriend said that she would miss the letters from my mum. It was nice to know that my mum thought highly of my ex, enough to keep in contact.
My ex who I was completely infatuated with and in love with left to live on the west coast 6 years ago and didnt come back until two years ago. This song just spoke to my soul. God how I loved him, even though I knew the love he had for me was nothing but abuse. "Id kill myself to hold you one last time," "And it hurts to miss you But it's worse to know That i'm the reason You won't come home" holy fuck Ethel. You are such a god send for this song. Im engaged and planning a wedding with an amazing man now, but this song brought up so many lost emotions I felt moving on from him. what a masterpiece.
Definitely hits way closer to home if you’re from Nebraska LMFAO I’ll always adore Ethel’s songs, the way they sound, the words, and just how hard they hit. I seriously can’t wait for her next album :]
This song makes me feel like a hole in my chest is growing, like a part of me a long time ago went through all this, my brain doesn't remember, but my whole being suffers listening to each lyric of this song, I feel her pain perfectly. I'm in a relationship which is perfectly fine, but this song makes me sore in anticipation of a breakup, I imagine listening to it on repeat, crying myself dehydrated and smoking a pack of cigarettes until my lungs are a gray mass. I love her so much and she loves me so much too and she makes me feel feelings I never had and I'm scared of losing her and this song makes me wonder about that loss.
This!!!! You captured my feelings perfectly! Despite being in an incredible relationship and happy, I still feel this sense of depression and guttural grief. It’s amazing.
She is just so talented and just an emotional artist. I feel the pure emotions she passes through her lyrics. It hits me every time. This version is by far awe inspiring
How many songs thrill and haunt you with two cards? Music levels the field - I’m a 50 year old conservative evangelical Baptist and I can stop listening to her catalogue. Oh - and I lived in Tallahassee from 2000 to 2020! ‘I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse’ Thank you.
I want to purchase this live version on ITunes but it’s not on there yet and I love both this version and the album. Does anyone know how I can purchase this version? 💜💯
i think i saw him in the tree his face worn green and eyes puffed shut hands livid with an outward jut then he opened his eyes and looked through me like glass as i took off, carrying my ass and ran and ran as fast as can oh, there was something i never forgot a feeling of oh do you believe me like you ought do you believe a thing can be inherently evil, taut and rumors of poison, never proved and never once from the forest, removed i’m sure i saw him there in the dim in the tree face worn grim
What do you mean by Halloween nocturne in your description? Was it an EP or something? Am relatively new to Ethal's music, sorry if it's a stupid question.
@@KyleFordkidzombie I dont have the social skills for that. Any enjoyment you derived from my previous comment is comparable to when you take shit and dont have to wipe - convenient, but not something youd share with others.
Backstory : Ethel woke up from being drugged by her abusive preacher father and was locked inside the church after attempting to escape the religious cult and started to sing as a small act of hope
Labored breaths and bed sores
Sing it to me all day long
When the aching sound of silence
Used to be our favorite song
You and me against the world
You were my man and i your girl
We had nothing except each other
You were my whole world
But then the day came
And you were up and gone
I still call home that house in Nebraska
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
Where the world was empty
Save you and i
Where you came and i laughed, and we left, and i cried
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that i'd die yours
These dirt roads are empty
The ones we paved ourselves
Your mama calls me sometimes
To see if i'm doing well
And i lie to her
And say that i'm doing fine
When really i'd kill myself
To hold you one more time
And it hurts to miss you
But it's worse to know
That i'm the reason
You won't come home
But i still call home that house in nebraska
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
Where the world was empty
Save you and i
Where you came and i laughed, and we left, and i cried
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that i'd die yours
You know, i still wait at the edge of town
Praying straight to god that maybe, you'll come back around
I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse
Cause you were the only one i was never scared to tell i hurt
And i found photographs of our school, on the day we met
I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love i guess
And you might never come back home, and i may never sleep at night
But god i just hope you're doing fine out there, i just pray that you're all right
I feel so alone
I feel so alone out here
And i feel so alone without you
I feel so alone out here
I feel so alone, i feel so alone
I'm so alone out here
Without you, baby
Thank you so much!!! 💜💯
An artist of a generation. Her work will be always be remembered in such a beautiful way. Not many can do it like her.
please rise for our future national anthem
Maybe that will now be “God’s Country”, after the Trump campaign adopts it first!!! 😂😂😂
Not that I am American but I sure do appreciate that feeling she has for the dispossessed and weirdos , just people trying to get by.
"I just pray that you're alright." That is it. You've just defined love.
When this got removed from Spotify, I was gutted. It's easily my favorite White Silas song... Then I saw it on the track list for Preacher's Daughter (EC1) and maybe I screamed.

i play guitar and sing in a punk band in Hungary, eastern europe. this is some freaking beautiful, great music. period. everybody should listen to it.
i’m a black metal *musician* and i’m also super into this. it might also help that as a trans woman addressing harrowing topics in my own music i can deeply relate to ethel more than i can most other black metal musicians.
@Reverse Mummification: any of your music i can hear!?
4:25 keep coming back to this particular part.... the visuals, the vocals, those CHORDS.
in awe of her and this song
something about the whistling on this version 😭
The best musician in the past decade easily

inherently evil, taut
and rumors of poison, never proved

i’m sure i saw him there in the dim
in the tree face worn grim
