about
"Gananoque" is a song from Charlotte Cornfield's upcoming debut full-length album "Two Horses."
lyrics
I wore hurt on my face like a flag bearer waving colours in a blue parade
While your sharp teeth shone like spotlights on the audience in May
A frigate bound for the sea, I dropped anchors in every bay
But I lost them all to rotted rope, helplessly sailing away
I lay in your bedroom with my guard down
I’m the ear to the ground in your hometown
But my love lies west of this mess
In the steel grey city I blessed
You wore shoes on your feet like pylons, a gift from old flame to old flame
And I wove ‘round those orange obstacles and put your sneaky slalom to shame
In our last set of bed sheet blues our bodies greeted the day
And I left your village with words on my breath but not much at all to say
And then I exited your bedroom with my guard down
And I left all I found in your hometown
But my body lies west of this mess
In the steel grey city I blessed
In the steel grey blessed city
In the city blessed steel grey
Bless the grey steel city, baby
And the river that sailed me away

Char's writing here mines memory for the sweetness only reckoning and forgiveness can bring. Her strongest suite to date (I say this every time, tho) she sings with more confidence than ever on themes of certain fallibility and radical acceptance. She conveys courageously the beauty of not knowing what's next or what any of it ought to mean. With every song she sounds grateful for each breath and experience. Listeners will come out of this album with that same feeling :) destiny
This may be Nate Kinsella's "dad record," but the array of experimental sounds and soulful songs on offer evidence a new creative peak. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 23, 2024
An easy-to-love combination of emo and jangle pop, the first full album from Spirit Night in eight years feels bathed in a golden glow. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 8, 2023
