I tried to wait until the pre-order LP Tigers Blood arrived (it's on its way, I'm told, from Rough Trade), but this video was too tempting. "3 Sisters": Is that about mirror twins & a sister or Anton Chekov? I don't know...But when her seminal 2020 album St. Cloud broke through, making many of the Albums of the Year lists, along with Bob Dylan's critically well-received Rough & Rowdy Ways--with St. Cloud usually ahead of it--I felt justified in my long-held belief that we've had a new poet amongst us for the last (give or take) 20 years--and, in that time, she's never stopped putting out great albums. (By her own admission, she's "an Album Girl.") So when you hear lines like, "You might get lost in the moment, take it easy on your opponent...I'm defenseless against the sales pitch, am I your moat or your drawbridge?" I think of Dylan's Rough & Rowdy lines: "Got a tell-tale heart, like Mr. Poe, Got skeletons in the wall of people you know. I'll drink to the truth, and to things we said, I'll drink to the man that shares your bed." (from "I Contain Multitudes") And I could pull multiple lines from each song that were equally unique--the point being that only these two songwriters could have written these songs. Their lyrics, vocal phrasing, word choice, rhymes, etc. are all one-of-a-kind. And emotions that have been around since the Dawn of Music, suddenly have a new shade of meaning; a new expression...
We were three sisters. Now we are two. Middle one is missing and missed. The gulf is too huge. Spent yesterday at Kensal Green looking for a final resting place. Have tickets for Kentish Town in July.
🎵Come and get your love Come and get your love Hey! What's the matter with your head, yeah Hey! What's the matter with your mind and your sign and oh Hey! Nothin' the matter with your head Baby, find it, come on and find it Bear with it, baby, 'cause you're fine And you're mine, and you look so divine 🎵

The first 20 seconds of this song are my favorite part of the album.

May you, in time, only remember the good things.
