Pentecost Red - Laurena

Phew it's been a while.

I was wearing my Pentecost-red silk skirt to work
And singing the psalms they said
Would bring me a lifetime
Of love and protection
Of peace and direction
I was leaning my weight on the lectern, so I wouldn’t faint
Half way through the Hallelu-
Jahs, when it hit me
I need out so badly
But I want to be here too
Go back to bed my darling
I’m just taking care of something
That I need to do
To get rid of every morsel of you.
Cause there’s a feeling that comes from my sides
Deep in my spine
That tells me to purge myself
Of all that I love
Of all that I need
To just live and breathe
And I’ll never be whole again
Till I’m in control again.
I know-
It won’t come easily,
So I won’t try too hard.
And of course,
I know it’s complicated
That’s why I keep it understated
But if to you it’s all the same
I hope you’ll accept
You’re not without blame.
I was wearing pyjamas to bed
And I hadn’t drank enough.
And I was in the arms of someone I trusted.
Now I’ll never trust again.
Go back to bed my darling
I’m just taking care of something
That I need to do
To get rid of every morsel of you.

    Genuinely I think this is one of the best songs of all time. It's so heartfelt and heartbreaking and feels exactly like a bleak and barren November afternoon

    Your voice. Your composition. Your lyricism. Your story telling. Your style. Gaaah. It's so refreshing. It's so good. I want more people to hear you.

    About a week ago I went through my subscriptions and got rid of some that I don’t really follow any more or that haven’t posted anything in a while. When I came to your channel, something told me that I should stay subscribed “just in case.” And here we are. Thank you for all your lovely work.

    So lovely to hear a new song from you. These lyrics break my heart, I've had a similar sudden I-need-out-now realization recently.

    It feels like a dream to hear from you after having Salvation in my head for over two years. Beautiful.

    Strange synchronicity to see a new song from you only a day or two after rediscovering your channel. I just last month left Montreal after five years. "Fireflies of Montreal" was probably the first song I heard on the day I moved to the city in 2013, searching for songs about Montreal, and I searched for it again a few days ago while reflecting back on my time in one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen.

    I love this song so much. If it were available to buy anywhere I would get it in a heartbeat. It tears me apart and puts me back together again. Thanks for the music Laurena.
