about

I wrote this poem when we came to Ferron's house to record her--the first steps of "Boulder!" This of course references lyrics in her song, "The Cart."

lyrics

There's lightning
across the yard
it's brewing like i am
it makes me mad
when you don't just
speak up

crickets fight
the train sounds
and thunder
wins it all

the whole sky's
about to open up
and so am I

The rain is getting harder
and the wind picks up speed
you can hold a lot of things
but you can't hold me

the whole sky's
about to open up
and so am I

Now I see
all the house-lights go up
you're about to turn it all off
it's just like she says,
"the spirit is law"

so I'll hold fast to the mother
she turns me around

I'll hold fast to the mother
she turns us all around

hold fast to the mother
she turns us around
hold fast to the mother
she turns us around

the whole sky's
about to open up
and so am I

The longstanding queer music icon Bitch makes witchy poet pop. She does it with violins and synthesizers, and the songs she writes are spectral, heartbreaking, political, and beautiful. "Bitchcraft" is like Joni Mitchell set to a click track, it’s queer Cyndi Lauper. It’s neon pink, in your face, ready to hex you with its brilliance. ... more
