This week I have the pleasure of sharing the exquisitely crafted, aphotic, opening and title track from Emma Ruth Rundle’s 2016 pièce de résistance, “Marked for Death”. Dynamic, spacious and powerful the album certainly sits atop my favs of the last 5 years.
“Marked for Death” may be a fatally tragic love story, but I certainly find it a beautiful one. Through all the ups, downs, successes, mistakes, failures and personal “quirks”, there may be nothing more precious than finding someone enjoyable and likeminded enough to share our short time here on earth.
Emma Ruth Rundle is currently on tour with Jay Jayle. If you get a chance to check him out do it, he’s quite a treat as well. You can find touring info on her website via the link below.
Lyrics:
It was right that we did meet each other in each other’s eyes
It was right that we did see each other in our shadow sides
It was wrong then too that crazy love, loves crazy as it does
And each of us and both of us so crazy, as it was
Who else is going to love someone like you that’s marked for death?
Who else is going to be with you when you breathe your last?
Who else is going to take my place and hold and keep you safe?
Who else is going to stay?
Who else is going to stay?
You were right on time to break your head and make the death bed
You were right on time to crash those galaxies and flat-line
You were right on time to make the light inside of me a life
You were right on time to meet me, crazy love, and watch us die
Who else is going to love someone like you that’s marked for death?
Who else is going to be with you when you breathe your last?
Who else is going to take my place and hold and keep you safe?
Who else would ever stay?
Who else would
Who else would
Who else would ever stay?
Who else would ever stay?
Who else is going to love someone like me?
Who else is going to love someone like me that’s marked for death?
Who else is going to be with me when I breathe it all?
Who else would take your place and hold and keep me safe?
Who else would ever stay?
Who else would ever stay?
