Hi, guys! Since it’s Saturday, I decided to post something soft and calm, not to bother your heads too much 🙂 So, today here is the song “Damages” by the indie-folk duo Foreign Fields, from Wisconsin, United States. Let’s check it!
Indulge in the soothing melodies of Foreign Fields, an indie folk duo hailing from Wisconsin, United States, as they present their latest track, “Damages”. The song is a gentle exploration of emotional landscapes, with delicate acoustic instrumentation and ethereal vocals that create a dreamy and introspective atmosphere. “Damages” unfolds with a subtle intensity, weaving a narrative that navigates the complexities of inner struggles and the pursuit of emotional healing. The introspective lyrics delve into the desire to break free from the constraints of hiding and changing oneself for others, expressing a yearning for authenticity and a rejection of past pains. The track’s serene composition and poignant lyrics invite listeners into a contemplative space, offering solace and connection through its artful expression of vulnerability. Some soft noisy and psychedelic elements at the very end of the song adding a bit more magic to the song.
A bit more information about the band and the song:
The lush ambient indie-rock Wisconsin-based duo Foreign Fields, Brian Holl and Eric Hillman return with their first dreamy single in two years titled “Damages.” Recorded at Hive in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with engineer Brian Joseph (Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Volcano Choir), “Damages” is stirred by a recurring, gentle piano line as the song is subtly pulled apart with vocal samples, as skewed noise are spliced into the mix, like the voices of ghosts in a dream, always on the periphery. Lyrically, “Damages” navigates a dream Eric had during a time of great personal strain, where he felt a sudden desire to run away from all he held dear. In the dream, Eric is visited by his grandfather, who reveals several things to him: “I guess I’ll be alright, as the damages subside,” Eric sings, as the song fades.
Traditionally, thank you very much for being with me 🙂 Enjoy the music and stand with Ukraine! Peace <3
LYRICS
And I don't wanna fight anymore I guess I'll take two more halves on the bathroom floor Now that I'm shaken to the core I guess I'll just move my body to the sound of the 44 When I'm too far gone and it feels like I've given up Will you lead me down to the place where I grew up? You pour all my life inside of a paper cup Bathe my face in the veil of love I don't wanna hide anymore Spending my days changing my shape for yours 'Cause I don't wanna feel like he did Sitting in the wooden basement I would rather live life naked When I'm too far gone and it feels like I've given up Will you lead me down to the place where I grew up? You pour all my life inside of a paper cup Bathe my face in the veil of love I guess I'll be alright As the damages subside I'll find love, by and by
