lyrics

What could change the winter’s course
What could temper the fall
What did you notice when the dawn turned to dust
The hour turned one and all

Will you shelter away from the storm
Will you hide out from the wind
Will you take your sweet, sweet rest
Returning with stories on your wings

In a thousand furnished rooms
A wilderness of mirrors
How can we recognize ourselves
Through the windows
If we can’t see through the screen’s glare

Did you look when the flood left the edge?
Did you hear the warning?
Did you see the strange green light
Over the city this morning?

Blackbird, blackbird will you call
Blackbird, blackbird will you come
Sing us over with your scorched lament
You were watching over all along

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 44 fans who also own “A Scorched Lament”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
