lyrics
waking up Monday, going through the gears
having nothing to fear is the worst of all her fears
stopped in her tracks, he tells her 'will you see me tonight?'
doesn't want to give in but puts up no trace of a fight
couldn't change what she said, tied in knots by a thread
little golden girl
steps through the doorway, feeling like she shouldn't be here
hear him call from the hallway, 'you're in for a treat my dear'
every step that she takes, the nerves build up inside
thinks it's an obligation to let her own feelings slide
let him take her to bed, and she couldn't have fled
broken golden girl
everyone's heard, she can't escape the truth
crushed by the words, setting the darkness loose
told that she is to blame, her fault for not saying no
how couldn't he tell that her fear was in full show?
beaten 'till her heart bled, now it was filling with dread
not so golden, girl
sits alone in her bedroom, her walls are caving in
a forest of hate grew from the seed of that single sin
no voice in her silence, no light to break her night
couldn't face the torture, she gave in without a fight
couldn't change what she said, tied in knots by a thread
(little golden girl)
let him take her to bed, and she couldn't have fled
(broken golden girl)
beaten till her heart bled, now it was filling with dread
(not so golden, girl)
oh it's all in her head, thought she'd be better off dead
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
Folky and sparse on the face of it, but there's a richness and emotional gravitas to this EP. I've spent some time trying to figure out how that was done but it's still magic to me, really. mcharper
