Something I most appreciate about Ethel Cain is her encouragement of patient listening. We’re living in a time where we’re flooded with easily-digestible 2-minute songs (not a dig at any of those artists, I enjoy plenty of those songs myself), so it’s really refreshing and mentally stimulating every time Hayden takes us on 7+ minute journeys with her music. These songs start soft and delicate and build into something devouring, explosive, and cathartic. Listening to songs like “Punish,” “Thoroughfare,” and “Two Headed Mother,” there comes a tipping point when I feel my whole being buzzing, as if I’ve taken the first plunge on a roller coaster. Few artists have ever made me feel that intensity of being swallowed up by sounds and I’m so excited that I get to experience Ethel Cain as she creates new art.
sometimes music speaks louder than words ever can, That’s what this song feels to me. This and "Caring Ghost" by Mysteriousic both songs hit a place deep inside me that I don’t often visit, this is a masterpiece of all masterpieces
The monotonous sound of what seems to be an old swing set is so haunting but it feels universal. Very grateful for the exchange of energy as always. Lovely song
At first I just thought it was a distorted vocal. But it does sound like a swing, and I like that visual a lot. I was a lonely kid and I remember just swinging by myself a lot so it I like that connection.
Whatever's wrong with me I will take to bed I give in so easy Nature chews on me Little death like lead Poisonous and heavy It has always been this way It has always been this way I am punished by love I am punished by love In the morning I will mar myself again He was a natural Plauché, saying "You won't forget this" Shame is sharp, and my skin gives so easy Only God knows, only God would believe That I was an angel, but they made me leave They made me leave I am punished by love I am punishеd by love I am punished by love I am punishеd by love
@synesthesia.aesthetic Perverts is a more personal concept album, more so about the specific topic of the actual definition of Perverts. (Besides the harassment part it's known for) it focuses on its meaning to corrupt or distort from the original intent/state. So the Cain story will eventually continue, but she is going to be put to rest for a long time. Perverts will not have characters/overarching story.
I just can’t believe it’s actually out. It’s happening. Since I first listened to preachers daughter in late 2022 I have been so deeply in awe and in love with Hayden’s work. There’s so much I could point out and so few words to truly turn my emotions into something comprehensible. If Hayden had never released another song after PD, I would be able to appreciate and continue to be obsessed with her current songs (released and unreleased) until my dying breath. I could be content with that. I sound parasocial, I promise I’m not. I just feel so lucky to live in a time when I found Hayden/Ethel. I don’t think there’s a single person on this planet-past, present, and future-that can make art that I feel so deeply in my soul and that makes me feel real and understood the way Hayden’s art does. The fact that I live in a time when my most favorite artist is putting out new music and I can listen to it like I’ve never heard music in my life is just so beautiful and spiritual. Anyway, that’s all.
It sounds like a chair sliding back and forth on a wooden floor - almost like reference to Ethel getting up and down from the chair. Or is it something more... perverted?
your ability to stretch only 2 verses across 6 minute songs will always impress me. you always let songs breathe and grow, it’s while they feel so atmospheric and heavy. another excellent piece of work 🖤
After reading your post about the current irony epidemic, I’ve realised that sometimes I when I want to comment something, I jump to a joke just because the current state of the internet has deemed comments that appreciate art “doing too much”, and “too serious”. For once I feel like I can really just say that this was a beautiful piece of art that means so much to me, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
I'm so grateful I’ve experienced the phases of the Ethel Cain project. I've been a longtime listener who originally discovered White Silas (then Ethel later) so watching this video made me fucking proud. She got the coins to execute the vision and WOW I'm speechless at the visuals. Props to Hayden (duh) but Silken really understood the assignment. They work so well together, I'm super excited to see the future of their work ( if it continues).
I have recently been punished by love. Oct 16th. I was just trying to help him. He was confused and wanted to know if he was gay or not. Very timid and disarming. Didnt make me feel unsafe untill that day. On that day, he turned into a monster. The detective on my case told me this after taking my report: "This wasnt a split second decision, this wasnt an accident, it seems that he planned this from the start" After correctly identifying him, the detective and i walked out of the police station and said: "he's been in trouble with the law before. I cant give you the specifics because of certain laws, but he has some charges" I asked "can you tell me if his charges included s#xual assault?" He looked down at the sidewalk then back to me. "You didnt hear it from me" He lied about everything. He planned it from the start. He betrayed my trust. I was punished for being kind. I was punished for trusting. I was punished by "love".
This channel poped up on my feed...... the videos are a rabbit hole, and it's so Amazing! I'm gona to spend hours I don't have just watching the content.
Perverts and it’s whole context makes me feel safe and contained with that fact that I know that I can’t feel good being in my body and even if I can’t find it at this very moment, I’ll find it one day and let it happen and I’ll be whole and complete. Love u forever and always for creating art that makes me want to be in my skin🫀🫶
The bar was set extremely high with preacher's daughter. My ears are definitely ready for something of that caliber. This song here reminds me of Emma Ruth Rundle or Chelsea Wolfe who are both incredibly talented as well, definitely a good direction to take
It’s so hard to imagine anything possibly living up to what Preacher’s Daughter has meant to me… but this song hit that exact same spot in my soul, damn. I love your music so much Ethel Cain
love the slow piano and darkness of the video. your voice is so raw. i love that i can’t hear it being edited. god there is genuinely no one as talented as you. i love everything you touch, it literally becomes gold. it’s not just the eeriness or soundscape you make. it’s the originality. no one else is like you you are 1 in 8,000,000,000 and yet i feel your lyrics in a way no one else has ever been able to convey to my soul. god and that guitar just came in. sends chills down my spine genuinely. im actually angry you are so talented. i feel punished by you
I love you, thank you so much for new music mother, two years ago for me it was ethel cain summer 2022, i am so excited for this new era and ready for ethel cain winter
I just discovered your work a few weeks ago, after reading your incredible tumblr post about how we're drowning in irony, and I think the sincerity and unabashedness of your music and videos is really a liferaft from that drowning. Even though so much of it harkens back to older eras of music, and older eras of art in general, it really feels like a way forward. Thank you and don't stop being who you are.
this was such an unreal experience. hayden you are such a visionary. you are such a storyteller. your imagery and the power you wield is unmatched and it genuinely feels like i’m being stabbed in the chest to listen to this in the best. way. possible. holy shit.
this made me cry. her voice is so sweet and soft, yet powerful. the way she sings every word from her soul gives me chills. i can't wait to hear the album, she is truly brilliant and talented.
Chills. Hayden, if you see this - I love you - this song cuts me so deep in the most beautiful way. I would have related to this up until a couple of months ago. I am in a beautiful, fulfilling relationship for the first time in my life, and it’s hard sometimes with trust, but I have never felt this much love for and from another human being. I am truly happy. Listening to this is definitely a bittersweet experience. I should also note that listening to preachers daughter the first time inspired me to write a novel - which I am still working on and love so dearly. I’m using it similarly to how you use Ethel, but with my own life. It would mean the world to me if you read it someday. Your art inspires art. Thank you for all that you do
The image of Hayden wearing the veil reminds me so much of the film Begotten. At the end, despite hardly getting to the point of actually physically responding to music no matter how deeply it affects me inside, I feel oddly like crying. Just when that guitar blends back out into the haunted whining atmosphere-it’s so fucking lonely. Blessed be.
eeee i have the jitterz waiting for this drop. i am beyond excited for the journey this album will take my mind and ears on, eyes as well. you just know exactly how to express your art and i will appreciate that forever. never stop creating, i love your brain. i heart being an ethel cain fan. it’s happening to every-body.
I still don't know how to properly verbalize my love and agreement with your ideas on music and the proximity to God as an agnostic but more than anything i just want to say thank you! Words cannot express the positive effect your music has every day, thank you!
I truly enjoy listening to your albums over the last year and getting to understand your style and storytelling. This may truly be one of the best singles I've heard yet. The opening was so eerie. The second half, I nearly fell out of my chair. It was so freaking raw and felt like someone taking the door down with its hinges still barely attached and the lock busted off. I will not spoil anything for the sake of the new viewers but its the kind of why I love songs like this (you'll understand after listening). I cannot wait for your album and the direction you're taking it. It feels DARK in a way that a lot of albums/singles claim to say they are but no, no friends, have you listened to Punish?
"I am on my way there again now. I am, I am, I am! But I will not tell you the viseral details, as you already know them. You all do. It's happening to every-body."
thank you, hayden. once again, your art makes me feel something i didn’t know was possible to feel. maybe im feeling “it.” whatever it or “it” is i cant help but find myself back on this song over and over again. it resonates in a way that keeps drawing me back. the feeling of the vibrations in my skull and the ambience of it all makes me feel infinite in a way, connected to something greater than myself. music has always been how i feel “it”. listening to some songs brings me to tears no matter how many times i hear them, it’s just the way it physically and emotionally resonates with me. it gives me a pounding in my chest and an almost nauseous, adrenaline feeling. and i love it every time. but i can’t stay there unfortunately, i can’t have that feeling forever, i have to be present. but it’s a treat to be able to feel those things when i can. 🤎
Mine broke a few days before the release so I had to hear this song for the first time with only one earbud. I can’t wait to get new ones and truly experience the dimension of this song the right way.
Ethel you captured such a specific feeling here. The feeling of wrestling with God. I know exactly what you mean when you say only God knows, yet I still plead with him to remember the child I used to be, before it all fell apart, and now I know what you mean when you say it’s happening to every-body.
The creaking sounds kinda sound like muffled voices or strained last breaths of someone on their death bed as their lungs give out, they’re so eerie but also weirdly familiar. They set the tone of the song so perfectly.
sitting in my kitchen on election night with my sadness and fear and being able to listen to this... it is a light in my mind and heart. Thank you, Ethel Cain. ❤
This feels like when you finally realise it wasn’t ‘love’ what you experienced and went through, it was full on SA, but you won’t forgive yourself or stop blaming yourself because you loved him, and still do. But you were a child and didn’t know any better. Punished by love.
Damn. This is such an intense and painful realization. So much power within you to allow yourself to see it for what it was. May you extend compassion and the love you deserve to yourself. It can get better. It’s a very hard road to travel to love yourself and release shame, but I promise it’s worth it. We deserve true love and the good things in life.
@ i saw this and couldn’t help but respond. I’m on the healing journey and it sucks but there’s more light now. I dearly hope you find the right support so you can keep moving forward. Sending so much light your way and to those who have been dehumanized when we didn’t deserve it.
@ You are an angel. I wish you lots of strength on your healing journey as well. May you be guided, helped, and lifted up. We didn’t deserve this, but healing from it we do. Sending sooooo much love your way
3:43 "That I was an angel, but they made me leave. They made me leave" Holy shit i can already tell I'm going to go absolutely feral analysing this album. This part just hit me right in the chest

Also crying like three times.

the sadness of a child bringing reminiscent tears to our hearts of stone, and we can no longer hide
Ik its a swing (chair) but at first I thought it sounded a lot like the word mom too
It’s very nostalgic I love it
Dropping this not only a new moon, but a SCORPIO new moon, a sign of rebirth, death and shadows. This is powerful diva

the creaking in the background sounds like breathing in and out weakly it's feels so emotional
or like even being on a rocking chair in pain
It sounds like a chair sliding back and forth on a wooden floor - almost like reference to Ethel getting up and down from the chair. Or is it something more... perverted?
it reminded me of those old playground swings that make the same awful creaking with every swing
At first, I thought it was moaning. I don't know, still not sure...

I’m so glad I exist at the same time as Ethel Cain

wake up babe new dissociation music dropped
I feel like I'm being set on fire when that searing guitar comes in and it feels GOOD
same. i was hoping it would happen and when it did i ascended
my eyes started to tear up out of nowhere?????
u strike the roots of my soul on a level that i cannot even explain
Real talk bro
The visuals are absolutely gorgeous, I specifically love the shot before you remove the veil, I would get that tattooed
Genuinely in love with the sound and production of the music you make, there's so much texture to it and it's SOOO GOOD
I have recently been punished by love.
Oct 16th.
I was just trying to help him.
He was confused and wanted to know if he was gay or not.
Very timid and disarming.
Didnt make me feel unsafe untill that day.
On that day, he turned into a monster.
The detective on my case told me this after taking my report:
"This wasnt a split second decision, this wasnt an accident, it seems that he planned this from the start"
After correctly identifying him, the detective and i walked out of the police station and said: "he's been in trouble with the law before. I cant give you the specifics because of certain laws, but he has some charges"
I asked "can you tell me if his charges included s#xual assault?"
He looked down at the sidewalk then back to me.
"You didnt hear it from me"
He lied about everything.
He planned it from the start.
He betrayed my trust.
I was punished for being kind.
I was punished for trusting.
I was punished by "love".
This channel poped up on my feed...... the videos are a rabbit hole, and it's so Amazing!

I'm high, enjoying it 1000x and I'm using this comment as a reminder of sobriety.
it’s happening to everybody over and over again and again

bought new headphones just for this song
Mine broke a few days before the release so I had to hear this song for the first time with only one earbud. I can’t wait to get new ones and truly experience the dimension of this song the right way.
Ethel you captured such a specific feeling here. The feeling of wrestling with God. I know exactly what you mean when you say only God knows, yet I still plead with him to remember the child I used to be, before it all fell apart, and now I know what you mean when you say it’s happening to every-body.
Some songs feel like the wind, so powerful and heart-rending. This is one of those songs for me.
Ethel is one of those artists where you have to be in the perfect mindset and season to listen to her music
Silent Hill is that you?
Love this
The creaking sounds kinda sound like muffled voices or strained last breaths of someone on their death bed as their lungs give out, they’re so eerie but also weirdly familiar. They set the tone of the song so perfectly.
No one has ANY right to be this level of ethereal, haunting and talented but Hayden. No one.
This woman understands TEXTURE
This is insanely beautiful and haunting, one of your most poignant songs yet. I can’t wait to see what you have in store
it (soul ascension) is happening to me oh my god i’m obsessed
sitting in my kitchen on election night with my sadness and fear and being able to listen to this... it is a light in my mind and heart. Thank you, Ethel Cain. ❤
Waking up to heavy rain and then this video was the kinda dark melancholic moment I didn’t know I needed. Sonically and visually profound as always.
Hollyyyyyyyyy cowwwwwww it’s happening to us all right now finally!!!
I believe this is the first time I’m truly grateful for tiktok for showing me such an astounding artist
Thank you Ethel, you are a blessing 🥀
Oooooh you know how long I been waiting for this?? Oooooh I’m bouta make a name for myself
I'm right here I'm sat
This feels like when you finally realise it wasn’t ‘love’ what you experienced and went through, it was full on SA, but you won’t forgive yourself or stop blaming yourself because you loved him, and still do. But you were a child and didn’t know any better.
Punished by love.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Thankyou.
Damn. This is such an intense and painful realization. So much power within you to allow yourself to see it for what it was.
May you extend compassion and the love you deserve to yourself. It can get better. It’s a very hard road to travel to love yourself and release shame, but I promise it’s worth it. We deserve true love and the good things in life.
@@Saavycupcake Thank you so incredibly much
@ i saw this and couldn’t help but respond. I’m on the healing journey and it sucks but there’s more light now. I dearly hope you find the right support so you can keep moving forward. Sending so much light your way and to those who have been dehumanized when we didn’t deserve it.
@ You are an angel. I wish you lots of strength on your healing journey as well. May you be guided, helped, and lifted up. We didn’t deserve this, but healing from it we do.
Sending sooooo much love your way
I was unpublishable, but now I’m punished by love 🕯️
