- I got inspiration to do this from 'AethericTwine' who does playlists like these but I wanted to do one myself so I did of The Crane Wives : D
I put some popular songs and some less popular songs so I could balance it out and make sure people aren't just listening to the songs that are like popular on Tiktok or something
I absolutely adore The Crane Wives so I wanted to share some songs of theirs to other people so I did just that, they have a youtube channel, a tiktok account and a Spotify (they're probably on apple music too but idk cause I don't use apple) if you want to listen to their other songs too :)
Anyway, enjoy!

The Crane Wives - @thecranewives
AethericTwine - @AethericTwine. - Hry
I'm a guy who mostly listen to metal and one of my friends showed me this group. She was surprised when we hung again and I was singing one of their song, this is just good music with a chill vibe and nice stories!
YESSS the crane wives are super underrated, they are my personal fav artist! I got one of my friends into them, and now we are searching for a concert to come near us again😭❤
Ill put all the lyrics in the reply to this comment
0:00 - The garden
3:58 - Never love an anchor
7:43 - The moon will sing
11:20 - Take me to war
15:00 - Sleeping giants
18:34 - Allies or enemies
21:35 - Tongues and teeth
25:15 - The hands that feed
29:38 - Curses
33:24 - Metaphor
36:52 - Canary in a coal mine
40:28 - Steady, steady
The garden
Tear it down
Tear it down around my head
I need you
To bury this beneath my bed
The crows in the garden are laughing at my expense
Drowning out all the lies that I might have told instead
My stone
My shield, my steady hand
Hold your light
To the darkness in my head
Put your ear to my heart or set your teeth against my throat
Give me something pretty to wear beneath my blood-stained clothes
My darling, the devil knows my name
Whoa, oh
Lay me down
Pour the dirt into our bed
Tell the crows
They can have their pound of flesh
The ghosts at the window echo all our quiet prayers
When they come for us, they'll come with hammers and nails
My darling, the devil knows my name
My name
My name
Get on your knees and
Dig up the garden
Won't you throw down that spade and
Dig up the garden, darling?
Get your hands dirty and
Rip up the garden
Won't you cut down that apple tree for me?
Never love an anchor
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
On some level, I think I always understood
That these hands of mine were clumsy, not clever
And I tried to do the best that I could
But try as I might, I couldn't bring myself to hold you
It's a secret I keep tucked inside my chest
With this heart of mine that's guilty, not remorseful
There is love that doesn't have a place to rest
But it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulders
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
On some level, I think I always understood
That a ship could never really love an anchor
So, I did the only thing that I could
And severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor
There are times when I still wonder about you
You are someone I have loved, but never known
And you'll never see the reasons I had
For keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you
I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel
I am all the things they might have said to you
Do you ever think of me and my two hands?
And wonder why they never soothed your fevers?
And wonder why they never tied your shoes?
And wonder why they never held you gently?
And wonder why they never had the chance to lose you?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
The moon will sing
Tell me once again
I could have been anyone, anyone else
Before you made the choice for me
My feet knew the path
We walked in the dark, in the dark
I never gave a single thought to where it might lead
All those empty rooms
We could have been anywhere, anywhere else
Instead, I made a bed with apathy
My heart knew the weight
Ten years worth of dust and neglect
We made our peace with weariness and let it be
The moon will sing a song for me
I loved you like the sun
Bore the shadows that you made
With no light of my own
I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me
Name your courage now
We could have had anything, anything else
Instead, you hoarded all that's left of me
Swallowin' your doubt
Like swords to the pit of my belly
I want to feel the fire that you kept from me
The moon will sing a song for me
I loved you like the sun
Bore the shadows that you made
With no light of my own
I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me
I shine only with the light you gave me
(I could have been anyone, anyone)
I shine only with the light you gave me
(I could have been anyone, anyone)
Take me to war
I've earned myself a reputation
That my bark is much worse than my bite
But I keep snapping at Goliath's hands
With all of my tiny might
There are no stones at my disposal
There's no God to award me a crown
But I am always swinging at
Somebody I can't knock down
All of the fire I've swallowed
All of the sparks that went dark in my gut
I am always burning up
Dress me in red and throw your roses
And I'll wrangle the beast with words
It's a graceless dance of epithets
We learn to make somewhat hurt
They will consume your sweet resistance
And they'll carry your heart in their teeth
But I am always feeding them
The ugliest parts of me
All of the words I've swallowed
All of the sharp things I've kept in my mouth
I am always bleeding out
Take me to war
Honey, I dare you
I'll be the sweetest thing
To ever scare you
Give me a fight I can't resist
Give me something to break with my fists
Take me to war
Honey, I dare you
I watched a weed usurp the garden
And it poisoned the rest of the crops
Would take days of fighting stubborn roots
To tear the whole damn thing out
So I will leave it where it's standing
And instead I will find me a match
I'll turn it all to kindling
I'll burn it all down to ash
All of the ire I've swallowed
All of the coals that still sit in my gut
I am always burning up
Take me to war
Honey, I dare you
I'll be the sweetest thing
To ever scare you
Give me a fight I can't resist
Give me something to break with my fists
Take me to war
Honey, I dare you
Take me to war, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Take me to war, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Take me to war, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Take me to war, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Sleeping giants
I feel the mountains
I feel the mountains shifting under me
The sleeping giants
Are finally waking, waking finally
My pulse is clear, rushing in my ears
I hear something calling me
My pulse is clear, rushing in my ears
I hear something calling me
The moon is humming
The moon is humming lovely melodies
The forest echoes
The trees are crowing hungry
Hungry harmonies
My pulse is clear, rushing in my ears
I hear something calling me
My pulse is clear, rushing in my ears
I hear something calling me
My pulse is clear, rushing in my ears
I hear something calling me
My pulse is clear, rushing in my ears
I hear something calling me
My pulse is clear, rushing in my ears
I hear something calling me
My pulse is clear, rushing in my ears
I hear something calling me
