before you come into the world, you should know
there are things that will hurt and things that won’t
like scraping your knees on the asphalt
and the freedom right before you fell
and nobody tells it like it is
they say isn’t it lovely, and buck up kid
but you learn how to breathe just by doing it
how to dream until you believe yourself
taking a picture to pass the time
a disposable camera and sore eyes
you’ll be leaning your head in the half light
what a feeling to be alive
an impossible question the heart will ask
you’ll stumble around til the walls collapse
a bird hitting hard on the mirrored glass
looking for something in someone else
and nobody tells it like it is
they say follow the good road and chin up kid
but you learn how to scream when the train comes in
and you feel a weight like you never felt
taking a picture to capture it
a parade and the emptiness after it
you’ll be ultramarine and violet
what a feeling to be alive
nobody tells it like it is
they say don’t rock the boat and shut up kid
but that big black train is rolling
and that deep down scream is growing
a hurricane come howling
a shot heard from the mountain
a blessing and a burden
i swear this will be worth it
nobody tells it like it is
they say don’t blow around on a different wind
but you’re gone and you’re not even listening
they were wrong and the wind is a living thing
and you’re taking a picture you won’t forget
something real and the way you remember it
you’ll be everything, you’ll be riotous
what a feeling to be alive
before you come into the world, you should know
there are things that will hurt and things that won’t
like scraping your knees on the asphalt
and the freedom right before you fell
and nobody tells it like it is
they say isn’t it lovely, and buck up kid
but you learn how to breathe just by doing it
how to dream until you believe yourself

Criminally underrated.

Call the military 😂 saw her live and so amazing

[@kyle2]

@@purplehairvixen REAL. Opening for the Mountain Goats? She was SO GOOD.

[@purplehairvixen]

@@kyle2 Yes oh my goodness. I didn’t know her prior. Heard her last four song s of her set. Told her she sang things I didn’t know I needed to hear. I almost started crying it was so powerful.

[@NiallConnolly]

Loved this song first time I heard it and somehow love it even more now with this magnificent video. Congratulations Anna and all involved.

[@lukegilson8054]

Beautiful music. The sound this generation was lacking, and the lyrics we all needed to hear.

[@kyle2]

Hearing this live changed my life. Staggeringly beautiful.

[@elibbro]

literally. can’t stop thinking about it

[@kyle2]

@elibbro idk if you were in Austin or NOLA but those sets are on archive. I threw a link in her subreddit.

[@elibbro]

@ i was in NOLA!! very front row and then got to snap a polaroid with anna after the show :-) such a kind soul

[@kyle2]

@@elibbro phenomenal. Same. I was over on the left side. Both hers and the mountain goats sets are up in super high quality for free on the ole Live Music Archive.

Already my summer "go to" album.

[@judsonclayto7813]

Looks like Powell Butte. Nice work. Next time you’re in my hood, I’ll have my paper Mach eyeball ready to dance.

[@patrickmcelligott5646]

So close and this is the first i have heard you. Love your word craft, and the simple intricacy of the song as a whole. Thank you, and i hope to actually get to feel your work in person
