Matriarch

by Liyv

supported by

Guy E. White Perhaps the most "feeling" album that I've listened to in ten years: As if a decade of heart was poured into a single album. As a listener, as a man, as a musician, this album is a blessing. Holy gawd, the heart and pipes of this human. Favorite track: Don't Look Away.

Eric Evans Choosing a favorite track is impossible, this feels like a suite of songs meant to be enjoyed together rather than a collection of tunes for casual listening. You know, like an album. It's marvelous. Stay soft! Favorite track: Syzygy.

Understand I'm settled in Visions of my own kind Now I see it all I know my part Oh I understand and I resolve I remain forsaken My resolve unshaken I remain forsaken no more I remain forsaken My resolve unshaken I remain forsaken no more Forsake me not Do not In bloom Forsake me not Do not In bloom I remain forsaken My resolve unshaken I remain forsaken no more I remain forsaken My resolve unshaken I remain forsaken no more Divest and stay soft You say so You say so Divest and stay soft You say so You say so Do I misunderstand I sigh for now Do I love for now When I was small Taking over I didn't know I didn't hear the storm Didn't throw those stones Didn't test you I know certainly Tell yourself you Didn't hear them Trying to tear us apart I would dance so unaware Stay softly Take it for now Stay softly Stay softly

Oh, now long to stay In my heart, you remain Here on hallowed ground I break my hands to care for you somehow You were standing up above it High and up above it You were holding on to something that I cannot let you bear Don't misunderstand I am here to stay Sanctuary in my place remain Don't misunderstand I am here to stay Sanctuary in my place remain I'm not running away I'm bending backward Can't escape my love I know about it And I'm an open door A sanctuary all yours I'm not running away I'm bending backward Can't escape my love I know about it And I'm an open door For when you call

Oh I've been watching over you I've been taking my time I've been keeping you with me Let Let me know Let Let me know How can I tell you that I care How can I let you know I'm there I look inside the space between us I've been asking all the wrong questions Hold yourself Hold yourself and swallow a lie Open up all alone I've been with you I am I am Terrified Let it go You take over Terrified Let it go You take over Let Let me know Let Let me know

Undir Köldum Norðurljósum

The sound of Iceland at night. Cold and gloomy but with a danceable pulse. Need to make a full visit someday. Fun fact: IcelandAir had their albums on the flight music selection. heavenorli

Untourable Album
by Men I Trust

supported by 6 fans who also own “Matriarch”

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
