It’s just a Shame To Fall Without Aim

The soundtrack is Waxahatchee and the red herring was Lilacs. I wanted to learn Lilacs to slowly get to a cover of it with Big trouble. I gave that a lot of spins. It’s verse chorus. It’s a lyric song and the journey is the words. And it’s also beautiful in its little tricks. Its flourishes. It’s pieces of flair. And that doesn’t translate great into reading a song. Reading a song deep enough to only acknowledge the broad brush strokes because you have the essence.

But that brought me to Ruby Falls. And what I hear in Ruby Falls is something slightly smokier. Slightly more sinister but equally even handed. Equally invested. The story is sewn into the music. The words are there when the words aren’t there. It’s a gift in a giftsclothing.
