Some of my favourite song lyrics, from The Falconer by Nico.

Desertshore is such an underrated album. It always makes me feel like I’ve died and gone to hell, experienced madness, then ascended. These lyrics are repeated twice at the halfway point of the song, going from the gothic and foreboding tone to a delicate and hopeful piano bridge. This album has inspired so much of my writing, I can’t even say why or how.
