My gf died 4 months ago, I replace Nebraska with the street we lived on. I know she probably didn’t write it about death but every lyric hits me so hard and literal. I don’t know why I’m playing it on repeat and torturing myself crying, but it’s so hauntingly good I can’t stop. She’s amazing and this is a masterpiece 💔
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes it feels good in such a backwards way to listen to things on repeat that touch that exact pain point. I don't know, it makes me feel something and feel alive again for a brief moment. Please take care of yourself.
proud to say that hearing this song nearly 6months later, i’ve graduated from the ugly crying to just tearing up, albeit with a quiet heartache that makes it kinda hard to take a deep breath sometimes...gently melancholic and devastatingly beautiful. her voice is spiritual.
This destroys me, you really feel alone and small cause the music is SO wide and big it fills a void, the music shows the empty space that you're in and it brings the confort to the disconfort the music brought itself showing you how alone you are but you're not anymore cause there is music there now, I mean my god it hits... Am I crazy?
Seeing for progress as an artist from December 2018 in a tiny house in Tallahassee to now having a sold out European tour truly amazes me. I'm so proud of you
There is an ocean of new, musical talent out there, but Ethel Cain is a lighthouse. Her voice, her lyrics, her talent creates a magic that recalls in all of us those brief, magic moments of love, loss, missteps, and fate that live inside everyone who listens to her music. The pain of it all make it so hard to listen to, but we leave feeling a blessed pain for what was never meant to be. It's that pain of love that hurts us bad, but in time, we mold it and adapt it into something more beautiful. Growth. Wisdom. Experience. It's the pain of being alive we wouldn't give up for anything. God Bless Ethel Cain for distilling the most important parts of every human life into a song that could live forever.
We may have lost David Bowie, but we now have Ethel Cain. As Bowie once said “I don't know where I'm going from here but I promise it won't be boring”. Life has gotten so much richer for me from listening to Preacher's Daughter and watching live performances. I also LOVE that Ethel made a videotape where she shares her favorite art books. Amazing.
This album is genuinely a masterpiece. I can’t remember the last time an entire album made me feel emotion as strong as Preacher’s Daughter did. She’s a genius!
I remembered seeing her perform this live in gainseville. It was like she was in a trance, her eyes were closed the entire time, and she was just swaying with the music. She was purely engulfed in the song. It was so beautiful 🫶🏼
It’s wild to me that we first crossed paths in cosmo school, and then I found her again through her music so many years later. And she’s quickly became one of my favorite artists. She’s just like I remember her. ❤️
hey this is wildly bad time and place but i’m planning on going into cosmo school bc college is starting to seem really not for me, so you recommend cosmo school? is there anything you wish you would’ve known before it?

I'm 38, and no song has ever made me cry on the first listen... until now. It cuts deep, to parts of me that I had forgotten existed. This song is perfect, in the most painful f****** way possible. 🥀
This song changed me and formed me as a person. It is monumental, beautiful, haunting… then the part where she goes “It hurts to miss you, but it’s worse to know that I’m the reason you won’t come home” is something else.
quite literally my favorite new artist of this year and i couldnt be more excited about it bc i found such a unique connection with her and her music. dying to meet and hear her live one day 🙌🏼♥️
this song is so beautiful, I listen to it every day. the back vocals give me chills each time. thank you ethel for blessing us with quite literally the best song ever written
Hayden, your voice, your beautiful spirit....I've been ugly crying for this album for so long, the lyrics awaken my nightmares but look at them straight in the face and that makes me stronger rather than how scared of those emotions I was. This is the power of art, this is the power of you. A thousand times thank you!
This was one of my top streamed songs of the year, and I mean it when I say this: Hayden is one of the MOST polished, flourishing emerging artists and at this point this album has made such a name and brand for itself the term “new artist” is ready to retire as Ethel proves herself and her talent
My most streamed song of the year, and the song that made me cry everytime i hear it, i feel it in my veins, Ethel Cain your album will stick to me till the day i die :)
This is just gorgeous. The vocals, the lighting, the continuous tracking shot. It's a departure for sure from the VHS aesthetic that permeated Inbred and Preacher's Daughter, but I love it. I've been a massive fan since Golden Age, and I'm sooo happy to see you finally get some of the recognition you deserve!
im so in love with her, im so glad she's doing amazing and getting the recognition she deserves. perfect voice, perfect presence and concept. amazing. beautiful.
Her potential is immense. Probably not even she understands the importance of what she did. Preacher's daughter is the same level of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust.
You could live 100 lifetimes and not hear another artist this original and talented. The same way there will never be another Freddie Mercury there will never be another Ethel Cain cuz she means that much to so many.
Labored breaths and bed sores Sing it to me all day long When the aching sound of silence Used to be our favorite song You and me against the world You were my man and I your girl We had nothing except each other You were my whole world But then the day came And you were up and gone And I still call home that house in Nebraska Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor Where the world was empty Save you and I Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours These dirt roads are empty The ones we paved ourselves Your mama calls me sometimes To see if I'm doing well And I lie to her And say that I'm doing fine When really I'd kill myself To hold you one more time And it hurts to miss you But it's worse to know That I'm the reason You won't come home But I still call home that house in Nebraska Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor (When I needed you, and I need you still) Where the world was empty Save you and I Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours (So I died there under you, every night, all night) You know, I still wait at the edge of town Praying straight to God that maybe you'll come back around I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse 'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt And I found photographs of our school, on the day we met I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, I guess And you might never come back home, and I may never sleep at night But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're all right And I feel so alone And I feel so alone out here I feel so alone And I feel so alone out here And I feel so alone without you I'm so alone out here I feel so alone, I feel so alone I'm so alone out here without you, baby (I'm alone)
Hayden has the most insane vocals live, whether that's in a huge amazing set for VEVO or a radio soundbooth for KEXP or someone's shitty phone catching 30 seconds of Coachella every time I'm just like. Holy shit. You know when the live show's better quality than the album (which is already amazing) you've got something special. Total aside, though, this set/the lighting/the burnt orange dress with the leg of mutton sleeves?!?? holy aesthetics I would not have put together but are STUNNING. several designers need a raise
I’ve only found this song recently, so I’ve only listened to it a generous handful of times. But every single time it makes me lose it and cry, sometimes seemingly without thinking of anything in particular. The first time it made sense. But I’m on probably my 14th or so listen now, and I have never been able to make it through without crying at some point. I would have thought my immune system would have a plan for it by now. But tonight I watched this in my room in the dark, on minimal laptop brightness, and gave in again. The tears came towards the end, like a freak storm, and I squinted. The video became an abstract, blurry kaleidoscope of thick diagonal criss-crossing lines, mostly black and white. I couldn’t make out a single detail, but Ethel moved in the video, maybe reached for something, and the shapes moved and slid around in the refraction. It was like a trance. I just experienced this microcosm of muffled shapes and the clear, clear, enormous sound, and that was all I knew or understood for several minutes. Then it ended and I sat and rested in the feeling until my screen went dark, thinking of nothing, and trying to remember how to think about the person this song is about for me. Thank you Ethel and Hayden. This is what art means. Love to you.
i just started listening to her music but i’m seeing more and more of her and i can already see her gaining the recognition she deserves 🫶🏽 also this is one of my favorite tracks on the album!
the way she misconstructed and redefined what it meant to convey and obtain the concupiscent anomalistic clearance showing us that idiosyncratic is ebulliently inevitable while simultaneously substantiating the superiority of women
My favorite artist of 2023 that's for sure. I'm sure she'll remain a favorite for many many years to come. I've listened to all of her discography, and she can write song that are so hauntingly beautiful, and disgustingly sexy at the same damn time.
Still can't grasp how Ethel invented a whole state for her song
the house housed, the nebraska nebraskaed
And did
I'm Nebrasking to this right now
Seeing Ethel getting more and more attention makes me so happy, I'm so excited for her. Love you sm Hayden, you're a goddess.

I and others , are there with you. and for you.
i'm so sorry

My edible hit right before the video loaded and this just blew my fucking mind.

i can’t listen to this song without ugly crying. every rendition is so beautiful
"ugly crying"!!!!😭

Very well said 🖤
So well described, thank you for sharing our thoughts and feelings towards her music
Good grief she is so good it’s insane.
She inspired my first album and the vibes it gives off. She’s my musical hero
This reminds me of those memes but it’s like “welcome back david Bowie” but it’s a photo of Ethel LMAO
We may have lost David Bowie, but we now have Ethel Cain. As Bowie once said “I don't know where I'm going from here but I promise it won't be boring”. Life has gotten so much richer for me from listening to Preacher's Daughter and watching live performances. I also LOVE that Ethel made a videotape where she shares her favorite art books. Amazing.
she has one of those voices that i hear and think she was born to sing and make music
This album is genuinely a masterpiece. I can’t remember the last time an entire album made me feel emotion as strong as Preacher’s Daughter did. She’s a genius!
I 100 agree. It’s been so long since an album took time to get through because the songs have so much in them
I remembered seeing her perform this live in gainseville. It was like she was in a trance, her eyes were closed the entire time, and she was just swaying with the music. She was purely engulfed in the song. It was so beautiful 🫶🏼

Saw her at Gunnersbury park in August. A crowd of nearly 20,000 and most if not all singing along to this. Absolutely magical atmosphere.
I’m so jealous I would sob
What I would give, to have someone feel that way about me, just once in my life.
Real😭💕
this song really grows on you the more you listen
We need this version on spotify, the drums add so much!!
It’s so holy. She turned the studio into a church.❤
Her voice is haunting and ethereal. I love her! Soul from a young emerging artist!

This song changed me and formed me as a person. It is monumental, beautiful, haunting… then the part where she goes “It hurts to miss you, but it’s worse to know that I’m the reason you won’t come home” is something else.
That's my favorite line ❤
i’m seeing her live in 2 days. she’s gonna blow up sm next year
update: saw her last night. she was so good!!
quite literally my favorite new artist of this year and i couldnt be more excited about it bc i found such a unique connection with her and her music. dying to meet and hear her live one day 🙌🏼♥️
I need this album in vinyl
this song is so beautiful, I listen to it every day. the back vocals give me chills each time. thank you ethel for blessing us with quite literally the best song ever written
❤ yeeeeessss this song is soooo powerful
obsessed isnt even the word to describe the absolute admiration i feel for this performance absolutely perfect
SONG OF THE YEAR!!!!!! it changed my life forever
Hayden, your voice, your beautiful spirit....I've been ugly crying for this album for so long, the lyrics awaken my nightmares but look at them straight in the face and that makes me stronger rather than how scared of those emotions I was. This is the power of art, this is the power of you. A thousand times thank you!
she’s truly something else. i was lucky enough to get tickets for the london show next week, never been more excited for a concert in my life 🖤
saaaame im so excited!!
saw her over the summer, she's phenomenal, I'm dying to see her again
This was one of my top streamed songs of the year, and I mean it when I say this: Hayden is one of the MOST polished, flourishing emerging artists and at this point this album has made such a name and brand for itself the term “new artist” is ready to retire as Ethel proves herself and her talent
Love when the guitar comes in for the finale
listen to the whole album and you’ll understand how much i ugly cried and the emotions i felt
Hayden, I'm so incredibly proud of you. You're definitely the artist of the year. Love you endlessly
My most streamed song of the year, and the song that made me cry everytime i hear it, i feel it in my veins, Ethel Cain your album will stick to me till the day i die :)
I’m so Proud of you Ethel🖤
I ran into Hayden at a hotel once, was so nervous to greet her but she was so sweet and very down to earth, I hope to see her live one day
my heart is healing and aching all at once
This is just gorgeous. The vocals, the lighting, the continuous tracking shot. It's a departure for sure from the VHS aesthetic that permeated Inbred and Preacher's Daughter, but I love it. I've been a massive fan since Golden Age, and I'm sooo happy to see you finally get some of the recognition you deserve!
It does retain something of the sparsity of the Ethel aesthetic, which she said would probably have to go anyway.
im so in love with her, im so glad she's doing amazing and getting the recognition she deserves. perfect voice, perfect presence and concept. amazing. beautiful.
saw her live yesterday and this is exactly how this song sounded, had chills going down my spine. Hauntingly beautiful
Music is in such a great place atm (if you know where to look), so many young talented songwriters.
Ethel Cain you’ll always be famous
ugh i knew i had to start following her after i saw her open for Florence and the Machine in denver this year… such an amazing voice and story
Her potential is immense.
Probably not even she understands the importance of what she did.
Preacher's daughter is the same level of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust.
The power of her whole withchy-woman soul poured over this song is so enchanting
I’m always in awe of how Hayden is able to capture my attention with long songs. she’s phenomenal
Whoever is directing this and doing the lights needs a raise
We're so proud of you Mother 🖤
god what a day to be alive, ethel is the embodiment of sorrow.
I discovered you 2 days ago and I'm so happy!! Your voice is gorgeous, your music is powerful ❤❤❤ thank you so much. God bless you all ❤
You could live 100 lifetimes and not hear another artist this original and talented. The same way there will never be another Freddie Mercury there will never be another Ethel Cain cuz she means that much to so many.
I couldn't agree more.. there's something so very special about her .. I fall in love with her more and more each time I hear her voice
i was thinking freddy mercury while scrolling down, reading, then your comment appeared.
Labored breaths and bed sores
Sing it to me all day long
When the aching sound of silence
Used to be our favorite song
You and me against the world
You were my man and I your girl
We had nothing except each other
You were my whole world
But then the day came
And you were up and gone
And I still call home that house in Nebraska
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
Where the world was empty
Save you and I
Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours
These dirt roads are empty
The ones we paved ourselves
Your mama calls me sometimes
To see if I'm doing well
And I lie to her
And say that I'm doing fine
When really I'd kill myself
To hold you one more time
And it hurts to miss you
But it's worse to know
That I'm the reason
You won't come home
But I still call home that house in Nebraska
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
(When I needed you, and I need you still)
Where the world was empty
Save you and I
Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours
(So I died there under you, every night, all night)
You know, I still wait at the edge of town
Praying straight to God that maybe you'll come back around
I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse
'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt
And I found photographs of our school, on the day we met
I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, I guess
And you might never come back home, and I may never sleep at night
But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're all right
And I feel so alone
And I feel so alone out here
I feel so alone
And I feel so alone out here
And I feel so alone without you
I'm so alone out here
I feel so alone, I feel so alone
I'm so alone out here without you, baby
(I'm alone)
The Art....
Listening to this song is like having needles puncture my heart, but it’s so fucking beautiful. Absolutely love it.
Yes! Ethel deserves all the attention coming to her. She makes true art ❤️
I can’t wait till she plays giant venues but god I’m gonna miss her small concert so much.
Such a heavenly voice♡♡
This is what new music should be .. drama, poetry and power
Im so mad at myself for not finding her before 2024.

every ethel cain song makes me sob so hard it hits straight to my core, to my home, to my heart. i will never be the same ever again.
Her family must be so proud 🤎🤎
We are!
For a queer kid that grew up in a small town in Florida. This is everything 🤠
I get insane chills every single time I listen to her

this song changed my life trajectory
This makes me cry every time I listen to it. That's rare.
Holy shit, I just astral traveled. Pure magic 🤍
Officer, this song right here!!!
Her voice is a true gift
the way she misconstructed and redefined what it meant to convey and obtain the concupiscent anomalistic clearance showing us that idiosyncratic is ebulliently inevitable while simultaneously substantiating the superiority of women
LMFAO PERIODTTT PURR
Thank you ChatGpt
idk what ur talking about, but girl i am living
Listened to her album the other day it is ETHE(L)REALLY beautiful
the most song ever
This thing reminds me of something The Doors would do for television special ... It's poetry
I can't describe what this song makes me feel. It's devastating, but liberating at the same time. Mother Cain is a genius. ❤️🩹🍂
I can't even express how much I love this omg.
i love how she writes. it’s not straightforward, but lightly sugarcoated.
giving us the ability to interpret how we want.
My favorite artist of 2023 that's for sure. I'm sure she'll remain a favorite for many many years to come. I've listened to all of her discography, and she can write song that are so hauntingly beautiful, and disgustingly sexy at the same damn time.
This is the most beautiful performance wow
She's one of a kind, honestly.
Nice, I live in Nebraska.
