Wall

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 is a really direct song about basically looking at your partner / wife/husband and thinking at any moment they are going to throw you away / ruin / crush you in some way e.g. the lyric ‘you were the writing left on the wall’ – as if stating it was obvious from the start that the fall was always going to happen

lyrics

Sometimes we said we were covered in gold
But we are nothing but clay
And as you spread yourself around so thin
No button to press to begin again
And oh it’s those peacock blue skies
At what cost I’m scared out of my mind
Lost and transient I feel I’ve changed
Sometimes it’s your fault when there’s no one to blame

Well you were the writing left on the wall
I rubbed out your name when you let me fall
And all this timing I didn’t, time at all
Well you were writing left on the wall

Path, pavements, alleyways and trees
Voices in cities running like streams
Halloween costumes, graduation gowns
If you stay too long then I think you’ll drown

And oh, how I’ve caved
It’s the only way I can see
It’s happening to me
