  • 'Forgotten Eyes' by Big Thief, from their album 'Two Hands', out now on 4AD.
    Listen to the album and order at: bigthief.ffm.to/twohands
    Lyrics:
    Forgotten eyes are the ones which we lose
    Forgotten hands are the ones which we choose
    To let go of, but it is no less a bruise
    On the collective arm keeping us high and gone
    Forgotten dance is the one left at birth
    Forgotten plants in the fossils of earth
    And they’ve long passed but they are no less the dirt
    Of the common soil keeping us dry and warm
    The wound has no direction
    Everybody needs a home and deserves protection
    Hollow-eyed on Eddie street no sirens to hear
    Just trash and soiled needles clawing the veneer
    And no crying but it is no less a tear
    On the common cheek with which we smile
    Hollow-eyed on Eddie, is it they or is it I
    Is it me who is more hollow as I’m quickly passing by?
    And the poison is killing them, but then so am I
    As I turn away
    The wound has no direction
    Everybody needs a home and deserves protection
    Forgotten tongue is the language of love
    Forgotten tongue is the language of love
    Forgotten tongue is the language of love
    Forgotten tongue

    “is it they or is it I? is it me who is more hollow as i quickly passing by? and the poison is killing them - but then, so am i, as i turn away.”

    Heard on the radio and really liked it. Couldn't find out who was singing cause I was driving and I couldn't blast the radio cause the person who was with me had a hearing aid. So thankfully the radio host said who it was. Glad my relative decided to play the radio instead of my playlist. It's going on my Wishlist. Sadly Googleplay music was shutdown so I will get it elsewhere.
