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 love watching videos of the Crane Wives performing live because whenever Emilee Petersmark steps up to a microphone you know you are either about to hear the most angelic, purest vocals that no studio recording could ever capture, or she's about to add 20 more squawky growls

the thing that I love about The Moon Will Sing is that it completely subverts the moon and sun trope, but in a completely believable way that, in my opinion, suits the trope way better.
the moon and sun are in no way equals. the moon is given everything it owns by the sun, and it can be taken away just as quickly. like the lyrics say, 'bore the shadows that you gave with no light of my own.' the moon literally shines only with the light given by the sun.
in this song, the moon and sun are used to depict a toxic relationship rather than a healthy one, the singer being in the moon's position, feeling that their love for someone consumed their own sense of self.
i love that the crane wives don't use the trope as it often is, and instead uses it to fit their own narrative. it's genius writing.

"cranies" ??
okayyy, so I've been thinking: Taylor Swift fans are called "Swifties", BTS fans "Armys",...what are The Crane Wives fans called then? "cranies" ??
(doesn't sound that bad, might be fitting tho...)

There are times when I still wonder about you
You are someone I have loved but never known
And you’ll never see the reasons I had
For keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you
I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel
I am all the things they might have said to you
Do you ever think of me and my two hands
And wonder why they never soothed your fevers
And wonder why they never tied your shoes
And wonder why they never held you gently
And wonder why they never had the chance to lose you?
✯ Never Love an Anchor, The Crane Wives

I’ve been away from home for the past couple of days and will be until about next week!! Until I can find a steady time work on things, here’s a reminder/offer to Support our beloved band members outside of just tcw!!
Emilee has a wonderful selection of solo/ collab music, a small YouTube channel, and a fantastic art account on Instagram!
Kate also has an Instagram, small channel, and some separate tunes! (Edit: I also found out she has a blog!! Here’s her most recent post!)
Dan also has an Instagram, although he isn’t as active as the others! He also has a YouTube channel where he shares some lovely tunes!!
As for Ben, this is quite literally the only thing I can find on him outside of the band. Thankfully my dear friend Lu (miserafemina on insta) pointed me to this lovely recording with interviews between songs! The man’s rather elusive, but I think it’s still worth including!!
Please feel free to check them out!! They are absolutely lovely people and deserve all the support in the world!!
