emmy destinn debuted in berlin,
20 and fine as can be
and near overnight a sensation they all said was she
my emmy divine,
my emmy divine
emmy destinn headed west with the wind,
off to find fortune and fame
from the met to carnegie,
they cheered at the sight of her name
my emmy divine,
my emmy divine
well she went to london to ring in the king,
all over the world they begged emmy to sing
but then came the war,
and emmy finally came home
emmy destinn sang for country and then
wrote stories and sonnets with ease
near a century gone and divine still,
they all say was she
my emmy divine,
my emmy divine
This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
