#44 of 366: Party, Daughter

If you’ve never heard Daughter, you are in for both a treat and a curse.

I like how the song starts with almost a doo-wop drum beat, and then that guitar kicks in and tells us this ain’t happy. The lyrics, melodies, and music are both beautiful and heartbreaking at times. I cannot suggest enough of doing a deep listen through their discography. You will not be sorry.  

“I seem to burn straight through, I think I’ve lost my head, I’m tryna keep my cool, my friends are vanishing, I fear the time wipe out, for fear that I’d forget, the worst night of my life, or even worse, the best”

They have such a deep, velvety, and moody sound and incredibly narrative lyrics. 

“All the infinite speaking and the secrets you told, well, I swallowed them all, then I crunched the ice”

I was lucky enough to see these guys live at Boston Calling one year, and would jump at the chance to see them again. Higher Ground would be such an intimate venue for their sound!

To me, this song channels the loss of time feeling that you sometimes experience when you’re just lost in thought. You know the one. You get it while you’re thinking and driving sometimes and suddenly you remember you’re driving and you wonder how you somehow navigated through three stop-lights? That one.

“I still recoil at the thought, my head in the clous, talking chaos, get flashes from hours dancing in some house, you were my escape, while a stereo serenades, the song on repeat, it’s hard to believe a thing, when my mind skips the scenes”

Every single song of their is like that. Same with lead singer Elena Tonra. Check out her solo stuff under Ex:Re.

I genuinely hope you have a great day. Get yourself a treat. You deserve it! :) Love you!
