about
a song for our sad wizard.
lyrics
bright
they called him bright
that meant good
that meant right
proud
he made them proud
he had two friends
and they stood out
and people noticed
the people came to them
and they told them
they could be brighter
spark
his teacher lit a spark
the world was big
the world was dark
but he could light it
and keep his people safe
they taught him good
they taught him right
what’s right
lies
they fed him lies
he felt betrayed
so he cut ties
they were his family
he burned them all the same
then he broke
and lost his mind, his friends, his name
eleven years as a pit of ash
waiting to blow away in the wind
a washed-up wunderkind
circuits blown to smoking pieces
tried to leave him there
i tried to be someone different here
but no matter the mud that dries on my face
it’s cleaner than my insides
you treat me like i’m special,
someone gifted, someone good,
someone worthy, someone right
i was bright
now i’m torn to smoking pieces
no, don’t get too close
don’t you know that fire burns
good
you called me good
i’ll try to live
you said I could
right
i’ll make this right
you make me brave
i’ll make us bright
when people notice
we’ll bring the fire to them
and we’ll show them
what makes us brighter
Babehoven returns with another record of indie folk songs about love, connection, and the fragility of human relationships. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 24, 2024
This is the most beautiful, moving, exhilarating and obsessive album I’ve heard for years. It made me laugh, cry and want to run to the forest all at once! natalieofnature
