Crane Wives songs will be like *folk guitar intro* ooowoahhhhhhhh ooowaoahhhhh. I am a wolf in the river. I am worried that I'm too volatile to ever be in a stable relationship. *guitar interlude with some percussion now* ooowoahhhhhhhh ooowaoahhhhh. There is ash in my hair. I am so tired all the time. I think I'm a bad person.
I am of the firm belief that there is a Crane Wives song for every single emotion.
Are you in the mood for a song about being trapped in an abusive relationship where your partner keeps making you feel as if no one else loves you like they (Tell you) do?
Try Nobody, by the Crane Wives.
You need a song about how you've not taken the opportunities offered to you because you're so scared of what could happen, and you know you need to get up and try and go but there's always the "what if" holding you back?
How about Safe Ship, Harbored by the Crane Wives, or Keep You Safe, by the Crane Wives?
You need a song about how religion has helped create a narrative of men being superior to women and that you had to grow up protecting your own self from men, and now you're finally able to relax and watch the little girls grow up shielded and stronger for it but you still chose to leave the abusive men, the horrible men in your life and live "in the darkness" because it finally makes you feel safe?
Ribs, by the Crane Wives.
How about literally having NO HANDLE on your life and feeling utterly useless because it seems like everyone has it together but you literally have no idea what to do? And you feel as if you were cheated in your adult/elder life because you were told "It would just work it?"
Hard Sell, by the Crane Wives
A SONG ABOUT HOW ABUSIVE PEOPLE LEAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE AND YOU CAN'T GET RID OF THE SCARS THEY LEAVE????
Pretty Little Things, by the Crane Wives
A SONG ABOUT BEING LEFT BEHIND CONSTANTLY AND TRYING TO BE MORE LIKEABLE BUT STILL BEING SO FUCKING LONELY ALL THE FUCKING TIME?????
Here I Am, by the Crane Wives
A SONG ABOUT HOW CAPITALISM IS LITERALLY DESTROYING OUR LIVES????
The Hand That Feeds, by the Crane Wives
So anyways I just think the Crane Wives are neat. There are SO MANY songs from them there's a reason they're my number one on Spotify.
My mom and dad turned Christian after going to a church on the peak of a mountain (our family is not religious irl) and began to sing a new Crane Wives song made of Bible verses. I hated the idea, but the song was so powerful I cried my eyes out during the chorus.
Crane Wives songs largely fall into two groups: “I need to settle down and actually do something with my life” and “I need to leave and never come back here again”
Yes im still alive, i was just busy feeling depressed and just stressed (i had horrible Easter) >.< T-T
