Nurse

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

This was initially based on an artist friend from New Zealand who died of cancer in his forties. The song isn’t necessarily based on him ‘as biography’ but rather is about how when people are faced with a kind of end, what do they face emotionally, mentally when they see the end but try and remember the path, events and memories that sit within themselves and how these two sit together as a way of collating who they are and what is happening to them in that moment. But also it’s about trying to paint a picture of describing the event as a bystander.

lyrics

In the morning, I feel hollow, as you took your life away
And if you have ears, you would have heard, you would have heard me fade
As trees, blew leaves, onto the ground
Collected, like memories, of passing thunderclouds

Aint it funny, to be crippled, for a while
Ah sweet nurse, in the darkness, comfort me with a smile

With this rusted heart, I fear, I will truly be alone for so long
You took, all the ugly, and made it beautiful for some

In the mouth, of the morning, early, when time carries on
My heart, and severed limbs, mountains that just don’t belong
