I just wanted to say this: I'm a middle-aged, straight, white dude raised in a very conservative, old school religion (Primitive Baptist) in Mississippi and Florida. I read the New York Times article about you today, and I listened to some of your music. I immediately sent some of your songs to my daughter (who is LGBTQ+). We both love your music. You're amazingly talented. You're reaching across demographics. I hope you find everything you're looking for.
i just love the fact she sought out to make these perfect wistful images and probably uploaded them herself. you're a true inspiration and really drive home the need for independent artists in the world.
I find it really interesting how as technology improves, culture yearns for imperfection and noise in our art; essentially everyone is embracing blur, noise, damage and the old ways in their expression, like this video and the music itself as well as countless other popular artists. It's somehow not human to have such high quality, so perhaps the perfection of AI art and increasing fidelity will only continue to push us backwards, which allows independent artists with no budget to finally break in
@@LoftyAssertionsBrian Eno: "Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them."
@highconic adding on to y’all, this is her soul being freed and going to heaven, the broken notes represent her doubts in religion set in her by her father, and also obviously the trauma she faced all her life. So the Ethel paino? Isn’t ruined because of that. Her soul is damaged and her entrance to heaven is definitely emotional.
Although I always questioned the validity of religious teachings, God and "what would God want me to do" was always in the back of my head until I was 31 years old. Dumping religion; dumping their version of God was a huge step. It was freaky; weird; frightening dreams - but some people's caricature of Christianity had become ridiculous. Finally, it was a weight off my shoulders. It was also a weight off my shoulders when my dad died 25 years later. He was the one who beat the fear of god into me. "Spare the rod and spoil the child" can be a recipe for having children who hate you and are glad when you die.
The world seems so pure when it snows. The reality of some people's world is sliding around and turning all that beauty into blackened, nasty, mush and refrozen soot. For a long time I have lived where it never snows. But I love visiting the snow - it reminds me of the innocence that only exists in childhood.
The real faith in God came from true speech, but born in silence. Grace leads to grave and grace lease' (sic!) some haven to our earth. Sometimes doubts vocate much more grace than faith.
The rod and staff are used to gently (or sometimes a little aggressively if they are in serious danger) guide the sheep to safety and comfort. I'm so sorry your father misused this text to abuse you, I hope you find peace and relief in this lifetime.
I think this song represents Ethel’s soul going to heaven, and near the end 2:06 you can hear a harmony of what I think are angels, the broken notes representing her traumas and her self doubt about religion and her place in heaven instilled by her father.
came here from one of those insta edits with a cow running in slow-mo and televangelism playing but the caption on one of them with this playing in the background got me and i had to search it up. glad i did. sometimes through brain rot content like insta reels you can come across some niche soul-touching art like this
This album is the closest I've ever come to listening to something that has so many layers-like a complex multimedia artwork piece, or a book...it's so hard to describe and it's so brilliant! So piercingly beautiful!
I am in a phase in my life where I was attached to a person so much that thinking not talking to him would make me not breathe, I finally let go of this toxic one sided feeling and this song represents how I feel right now.
this song to me sounds “antique” not in a bad way of saying sounding old or whatnot but as if you discovered a magical little trinket or chachki you find at a thrift store that you end up cherishing for eternity. ❤
I’m here again after hearing this in season 2 episode 7 of Invincible. It ACTUALLY hit me like a freight train because for almost an entire minute I was like “This is so familiar, I’ve heard this song, I’ve listened to it multiple times before, what is it?” And then I was SLAPPED in the FACE with realization. I started crying immediately 😭😭 that is definitely on the list of things I was NOT expecting. I was not emotionally prepared for that LOL. I’m confused though as to why she’s not in the credits for the episode?? She should be, unless I missed it.
The song reminds me so much of the end of Fire Walk With Me - the Angel, Laura’s smile, the way it zooms on her face…sad, unsettling, triumphant, beautiful
excuse my little music and literature moment here but OH MY FUCKING GOD. ethel i need you to realize what this song feels like. its so kind and ambient at first, it's still tinted with sorrow. it feels like a smile from a friend who came by because they know you're hurting, they see your pain and still meet you with kindness, they see you and meet you where you are. it turns transcendant, listening to the crescending arpeggios feels like magic, it feels right and powerful, like laughter and the butterflies you get knowing that this moment it joyous, that for now everything else doesn't matter and for once you can just be. and then it breaks. it doesn't shatter, it cringes, twists and turns like matted hair. the music itself cringes, it knows the moment is done, and that the bittersweet goodbye has to happen again, and it's ack to square one. this represents the point in the story so well with such emotional eloquence and it makes me wanna turn this song into my allergy medication that is a nasal spray and sniff that shit so hard it stays in my brain on loop i LOVE this it's so YUMMY
I'm going through a lot lately, and I've fallen back on this record so many times since its release. I can't put into words how much it means to me. You have created something really special here. From the depths of my being, thank you.
It was actually a pretty mature breakup, glad they treated the end of their relationship with respect and didn’t make either side the “bad guy or girl”
@@Juneau04 Ethel is a character played by Hayden anhedönia! The character, Ethel Cain, is dead, but Hayden is alive and well! If you are more interested in an in depth look at her lore there are some great videos on it , but basically Ethel (the character) was murdered and cannibalized by a man named Isaiah (also a character)
It's been years since I've been so touched by an artist's release.The Preacher's Daughter(as well as the Inbred EP and several demos ) is something special,lyrically,melodically,production wise and what's even rarer these days,presenting a coherent body of work in which the ideas and the concept are so perfectly transformed into musical excellence.It is STUNNING in the sense that I was left stunned by both the artistic achievement itself and the amount of sheer talent it showcases🦄🙏
thank you so much for this. my rings complete, my inner peace is found, i can feel god. celestial sparkles surround me as i close my eyes. i ascend and descend.
lately ive been feeling so unbelievably mentally exhausted but when i listen to your music it feels like i truly can make it through the day. any song you write, it speaks to me in levels I can't even describe. its like adding the star at the top of a chrstimas tree, i feel complete.
my uncle who become alcoholism, it was happened 16 july in middle of evening, he die for heart attack after use alcohol... here the story: me and my grandma sitting on sofa, talking, and after that, my mom's phone is ringing and this hospital was called. the doctor say that he death, after use alcohol. my grandma say in mom's phone "wait how he's die? it couldn't be...". we are shocking now, how could he's dead? HOW? 😭my mom is fast arrive and she tell "what's happened?" and my grandma say "HE'S DEAD, HE'S DEAD FOR HEART ATTACK!!!". we all sitting in sofa, crying, also his mother arrive in our house and telling story about his son. after we bury him, his mother made a funeral reception, and we're going on to funeral reception to say farewell. i glad ethel made a sad instrumental song, that i hear in first time to remember him. thank you ethel, you were best ❤
Sexual "assignment" is a necessary product of biology and has no functional purpose beyond the physical world. Some are born innately bequeathed with this knowledge and it makes living life difficult for them if the energy that resides and flows within conflicts with the physical body they inhabit. Have mercy and be blessed by their illuminating presence in this world.

learning the piano was improvised is insane. i dont think ive ever had a song without words make me cry before.
probably why it’s so emotional….this piece was straight from the heart, raw emotion coming out onto the keys
Same. I’m at the goddamn bus stop wiping my tears
@@SuperReagan100are you ok :(
@@kc7515 I’m good. Thank you for asking 😀
I like how the song starts out sounding really normal, solemn, and calm, like the prelude before a church service, but gets distorted at the end.
From opening the service to "Save the preachin' meetin'" real quick.
The distortion represents the running of the mind

And invincible introduced me to another amazing song
invincible peak
you gotta check Preacher's Daughter and her old work too! She's a great artist with a beautiful voice
Same here ! 👍
this deserves soooo much more recognition but at the same time i dont want anyone else to have it, i wanna keep it
IKR
So true, always with amazing underrated artists
same dude I just love her music so much
It's a special song for special people. I want everyone to have it, I just want them to love it and for it to mean as much to them as it does me.
I know that feel (:
Just walked thru the falling snow in the dark to this song on repeat my life is changed forever
ooo that sounds amazing... On my bucket list for sure for the next time it snows

very that
yes
She really does

You should definitely write poetry, you have a beautiful way of saying things. I've come across a couple comments you've left and noticed it.

Vinyl release for Preacher's Daughter, please mother 🥺
was literally just thinking abt this, that would be amazing

why is this becoming my favorite song on the album? like i've had this stuck in my head for an entire week now

I knew it was familiar in the first few seconds so I checked x-ray, screamed when I saw who it was, then started crying too 😭
Invincible has a nice playlist ong
No skip album fr
I have to skip the triggering one. I just have to. I listen to only occasionally when I am on my own and prepared.
The song reminds me so much of the end of Fire Walk With Me - the Angel, Laura’s smile, the way it zooms on her face…sad, unsettling, triumphant, beautiful
definitely
just saw an edit of her with this song and man you are so right
with each note you can just feel your soul unravel
i could not believe it when this played on Invincible
Same I thought my phone was glitching and just started playing my Spotify lol
excuse my little music and literature moment here but OH MY FUCKING GOD. ethel i need you to realize what this song feels like.
its so kind and ambient at first, it's still tinted with sorrow. it feels like a smile from a friend who came by because they know you're hurting, they see your pain and still meet you with kindness, they see you and meet you where you are. it turns transcendant, listening to the crescending arpeggios feels like magic, it feels right and powerful, like laughter and the butterflies you get knowing that this moment it joyous, that for now everything else doesn't matter and for once you can just be. and then it breaks. it doesn't shatter, it cringes, twists and turns like matted hair. the music itself cringes, it knows the moment is done, and that the bittersweet goodbye has to happen again, and it's ack to square one.
this represents the point in the story so well with such emotional eloquence and it makes me wanna turn this song into my allergy medication that is a nasal spray and sniff that shit so hard it stays in my brain on loop i LOVE this it's so YUMMY
