New Wednesday record out today and Karly Hartzman’s at the height of here powers here. This is a killer piece of songwriting and a gorgeous arrangement.
This closing verse kills me:
The house collapsed But the fire kept on burning at the scraps And I wondered if grief could break you in half When the gossip died And the ruins rotted away in the rain And the fruit flies went to sleep in the drain
Her voice, when she sings “break you in half”, does just that.
