Douglas Dollars is Six Times AliveJust keep listening this on repeat. The Medieval imagery, her frail voice, the background sounds…
”how can i ever apologize? i meant you no such harm. I never knew i could possess that fatal kind of charm”
There are many in competition, but this is my favorite Mirah song. The killer lines for me are “I abdicated, now I’m just a prince without a land / my subjects all adore me but for this I had them banned.”
Mirah - “We’re Both So Sorry” (4:18)
This version is off of the College Park is Always Ready to Party album, which really overtook a lot of my nights when I was into night photography. (Five years ago!? Holy moly.)
MIrah - “Gone Sugaring” (1:20)
Where the air is clear and I can see
The sun is rising in the east
I’ll swing my feet recklessly
over the railway on a balcony
Autumn music. Another song for sweater weather. It’ll only take 80 seconds of your time.
Thao & Mirah - “Teeth” (2:52)
Next time I swear:
More hope less fail.
Oh, how I have tried,
But I have teeth I must bare.
I’ve really been enjoying this album, and particularly this song. What a great duo from two great solo artists.
Mirah - “The Sun” (lyrics)
In case anyone needs a mood boost. I’m going to lay on the balcony and say “Come at me, bro” to some vitamin D.
BONUS: Did you know that Mirah has a Tumblr where she collects photos of banana peels found in her travels? It is a fact.
Mirah - “Cold Cold Water (Chorus/Strings)” (0:18)
Goodnight, Tumblr.
Mirah - Telephone Wires (live) (2:12)
The lyrics aren’t tied to anything in my life, it’s just a good song that a lot of people can probably identify with.
If you like the track, you will really like the album version on You Think It’s Like This, But Really It’s Like This.
