#like the way her songs sound so...... personal but so old????? like a folk song your nana used to sing#and yet she uses so many references to modern things its insane how all the vibes and aesthetics fit together so seemlessly????#keeper of the time indeed#like.#from โ€‹'space and time':#'want you to know you shaped this heart of mine / and i never wanna leave this world / without saying i love you / oh and out in the-#wood this picture is clear to me / i owe my life to even my enemies / the ones who have loved me the ones who have tried / their grips on-#my heart and their grips on my mind'#thats insane! those lyrics are so hard-hitting but w the precision and delicacy of the most talented nail tech in the world#its crazy!#and like#'and the cicada choir is my backing band / join in off-key country mumble / sing slow and hard to understand / oh it dont feel like a heart-#no its more like when they tell you theyre still lookin for a heart of gold' wHAT?!#patron saint of the dollar store should not have the vibe it has it has dollar store in the name for christs sake! and yet#'now im back to my answering machine / yknow its all filled up / where ive been a harvester of sound from the people i love / oh and 32-#missed calls? / oh thats just tim there checkin in / right before you said a long goodbye / guess ill hit replay again / i guess all this-#to say no trace of your love (x2) / is e'er lost on me'#maam you are talking about an answering machine how does this song feel older than the constitution#its more important to me than the constitution too tbh. and a lot smarter#even her political songs sound like phil ochs shouldve covered them at least once!#what the fuck#'bless this food to out bodies and our bodies to your service / in the company's holy name amen (xidek how many times / its the sooong song-#of the south / take a little piece of pie or theyll bust your mouth / you make the rich more rich no it wont be you / pennies for your time-#and crums to chew' like good god and holy shit maam thats insane#all of her lyrics cut like a blade while stitching like a surgeon and i love her for it#like these arent old songs. they came out a few months ago. but theyre Old Songs. like in the way hadestown was talkin about#anyway point is i love her and everyone should be legally required to listen to her music#sg goodman#heart swell
