Four Sisters: Part One
03:46

One sister walks the wasteland
Never found a way in
Hunger and thirst
Pale-faced curses
Fell from full lips again
Who has a soul that's not fainting?
Who has a soul that's not faint?
Use your voice
Another sets up shop in a blackout
Huddled in the dark corners
She hates the word of healing
Spitting on wisdom
So now its hard labor
Where is the friend of the stubborn?
Who will shatter the bars of iron?
Use your voice
With her ear inclined and her aching eyelids
Her little neck so tender
The echo came back with a different timbre
An octave remembered
A substance delivered
A city to dwell in
Use your voice

Four Sisters: Part Two

Can't get hungry anymore, I bought everything they're selling
Broke my fingers on my own then cried about my suffering
Everything I put on my tongue is salt
My crying sounds like singing, I'm kneeling at the final gate
My knees struck ground, I saw the serpent on the staff
My knees struck ground, the serpent on the staff
---
My sister went down to the sea in a ship
Doing business on the great waters
She saw unspeakable things in the corners of the world
The hand of God stirred up the churning ocean
The waves cursed and sputtered
Made my sisters a drunkard
With a melted heart
And only one way out of the dark

When they are brought low
When they are diminished
Through oppression and sorrow
He pours contempt on princes
And makes them wander
In trackless wastes
He raises the needy
Out of affliction
The upright
See it and are glad
All wickedness
Shuts its mouth
Whoever is wise
Let him attend to these things

Lowland Hum Charlottesville, Virginia
For over twelve years Lowland Hum has been a landing strip for your lesser-loved emotions. You can go listen to all of that
if you like; eight albums, several EPs, et cetera.
They aren't slowing down. Except metaphysically.
Lauren and Daniel Goans are into DIY. They make their own music and art.

This album makes me want to run in a valley, dance near a bonfire, and repent for all my sins at the same time.

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption
