Let Me Be

from Augusta by Suicide Swans

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    In 2016 the band once again escaped to their studio, By The Living Grace where they recorded and mixed their new album. In 2017 the band finally releases their second album ‘Augusta’ that pushes further their alt-country sound into new musical territory for the band incorporating pop, woodsy mid-tempo rock mixed with washes of violin, Wurlitzer/Rhodes flourishes, 4 part harmonies and reverb-laden vocals. The album represents the band expanding their alt-country roots incorporating pop and indie rock with the album fluctuating between acoustic laments: Wall and Come & See, forlorn mid tempo country/rock laments Pleasanton, Easy Heart and Canyons, country-indie rockers such as first single Horses, Broken Lines, and expansive sonic jams Nurse, Let Me Be and Yearling featuring the bands new found interest in mixing country and indie rock inside Americana.

about

The song is about trying constantly to be better a husband/partner and just feeling like its never going to happen and realizing that you will fail and so you give in to the inevitability of the situation and the songs is about trying to apologize but also say why apologize when you felt it was so obvious

lyrics

I hadn’t realized you’d stepped away
Keep it tired then, I’ll stay
Do it again, then I’ll pay
Take your time

Well if it came, and then it went
Don’t know where to start, or where I begin
Tried so hard, then I fell
Just washed away

And if I called, out your name
What would you say
Let me be
And all the times, that we’ve seen
Lost in a dream
Let me be
Just let me be

Well it came back to, that part
It said where does it end, or stop
Well I lied through my teeth
Just walked away

And if you feel up to it, once again
Do what I want, but you, are not my friend
Run ragged by the, way it ends
