Daughter

[Irregular Regular]

I came across Daughter almost by accident at the Leeds festival in the summer and I have not stopped playing their music since.
The singer's name is Elena Tonra, she writes all the lyrics and music.
Her talent is quite exceptional.



The first song in this clip is called Run, these are the lyrics...

While I powder my nose
He will powder his guns
And if I try to get close
He is already gone
Don't know where he's going
Don't know where he's been
He is restless at night
He has horrible dreams
So we lay in the dark
'Cause we've got nothing to say
Just the beating of hearts like two drums in the grey
Don't know what we're doing
Don't know what we've done
But the fire is coming
So I think we should run
I think we should run, run, run

While I put on my shoes
He will button his coat
And we will step outside
Checking out the coast is clear on both sides
We don't want to be seen
No, this is suicide
You can't see the ropes
And I won't tell my mother
It's better she don't know
And he won't tell his folks
'Cause they're already ghosts
So we'll just keep each other as safe as we can
Until we reach the border
Until we make our plan
To run, run, run

Will you stay with me, my love
For another day?
'Cause I don't want to be alone
When I'm in this state
Will you stay with me, my love
'Till we're old and gray?
I don't want to be alone
When these bones decay

Run, run, run

Enjoy!

Pick it up, pick it all up
And start again
You’ve got a second chance
You could go home
Escape it all
It’s just irrelevant

It’s just medicine
It’s just medicine

You could still be
What you want to
What you said you were
When I met you

You’ve got a warm heart
You’ve got a beautiful brain
But it’s disintegrating
From all the medicine
From all the medicine
From all the medicine
Medicine

You could still be
What you want to be
What you said you were
When you met me

You could still be
What you want to
What you said you were
When I met you
When you met me
When I met you
