City Song by Daughters / Magic Relighting Candle by Alexander Barton

[@12finger]

Such a violent snare too, sounds like a goddamn gunshot

[@yungpm]

Scared the shit outta me the first time I heard it, thought it was drone music at first so I didn’t expect it

[@apothecurio]

god the moans and yelps make this song 2x as scary and disturbing

[@melissarenaud1023]

Yes

[@liuospinkman3140]

Terrifying... best album opener I've heard in a loooong time. Words do nothing.

[@icareg]

it is a stellar opener. also the transitions from track 1 to track 2 and track 2 to track 3 sound like waking up from a nightmare into its continuation

This song is terrifying for the first few listens. Now it just scratches an itch for me, feels incredible

[@digadeh]

The first listen blown me away. It was very explosive, insane, and terrifying for me. Then the transition to Long Roads No Turns almost got me crazy.

[@birberking6999]

It's impossible to hear this song and not feel a burning... Or a sickness... Or anger... Or sadness... Or existential dread...

[@thevillageidiot5864]

I feel paranoia and dread

It is possible when you feel those things everyday

Distress

[@tayzatun6351]

When the distorted synthesizers hit and the wall of sour guitars come, I get chills the whole time.

[@maxmino8840]

Listening to this song while my city is quarantined gives an unimaginable sense of doom...

[@GuenniKurti]

Holy shit. I was listening to the Converge radio on Spotify and this song came up. I had no idea what was awaiting me. I am utterly disturbed, yet oddly fascinated and craving more.

[@tmamone83]

My mom accidentally bought some magic relighting candles once. It said "Fun party candles" on the package, so she thought it just meant fun birthday party cake candles.

[@gopokesgopokes3640]

Everyone knows you light 1 candle and then use that candle to light the rest, instead of using a bunch of matches.

[@theinfrawolf6774]

God, that gasp at 1:23 sounds exactly like when you have an asthma attack, fighting to get air

[@JonahUniverse]

YES I didn't actually hear the gasp for so long until I started revisiting the album with a good pair of headphones! Now it's one of my absolute favorite little details on the record, so disturbing

[@drpibisback7680]

In the air, shrieks The breaths long The fires are out The waters sit still

[@TheCh33ks]

That first minute feels super ominous, whether it be the track itself, only seeing half the kid's face, or the combination of both creating an air of dread.

[@BooboochaProductions]

I would describe listening to this album as the constant desire to clench your jaw until every tooth is shattered or the ever-present inclination to rip out the tounge from one's own mouth.

[@Anon-nj4ub]

perfect

[@joseluismartin1801]

I bought when the vinyl came out in marble color, and I can say that it blew my head into a thousand pieces.

[@Deaddruidess]

"This city is an empty glass Shops are closed There is nothing This city is an empty glass." Daughters predicted COVID-19

[@AmericanAcupuncturer]

So much going on in this song. They came back harder than when you quit smoking cigarettes, and then start smoking again

[@JR-rk3hs]

From 4:12 on it sounds like a futuristic machine like something out of terminator powering up and then just tearing people apart

[@Samxmael]

Saw this while trying to find Death Industrial, I can say this is definitely darker than I expected

[@Bernholesurfer]

Cold Meat Industry label is where its at.

Death Grips. "Come Up and Get Me"

[@autumnautist]

[@YodaZemunski]

Oh sure, fling your Death Grips and Swans at us you filthy knaves

[@zenkhan4419]

I would also like to throw in Skinny Puppy as well. Their earlier works are frightening. One of my favorite bands of all time. Daughters remind me a lot of their stage presence... Very mesmerizing and disturbing.

[@JonahUniverse]

This was the hardest song on the record to get into for me. Now, I'm sad there isn't more like it lol. I might be in the minority of people who are excited for Alexis' solo record because the singles have given me this vibe. I do still prefer the more straight-forward, structured songs but damn the dread and horror in City Song is dizzying and intoxicating. I love it.

[@towerofgreen2841]

There’s an artist that makes songs similar to this one tho it’s a bit extreme compared to this. If you’re interested, It’s called Gnaw Their Tongues

[@Juan-wo7zu]

It’s a shame that Alexis turned out to be such a douchebag

[@alexmaur8817]

I remember tripping on mushrooms at desert festival I was performing at. maybe a couple hours before I was set to go on I trekked up a large hill and got naked alone at the top, basking In the wind and the freedom up there. suddenly I lost my footing and slammed yp against a rock and as I was trying to find my clothes I sliced my foot wide open on a rock. I waved my phones light at the crowd below, called everyone I knew who was down there and eventually my buddy Parker came up to save me. he gave me the clothes off his back and gave me his shoes, guided me back down the mountain, and helped me patch myself up before I had to play my set. I'm pretty sure he out cocaine on my foot to numb it after cleaning it. but before he came up for me. when I was limping around and leaving a trail of blood, I was making the same moans AM was during this song. when I heard the song for the first time it spooked me to no end, as if someone had recorded me suffering in a position I wasn't sure I was going to make it out of. still terrifying to think about, but the set turned out to be alright. wasn't invited to the next festival, LOL

[@lugarespecial]

There's nothing more frightening 0:33 than didn't get what you want.

@@tgillespie40 ugh. The song is fine, and contains all the heartbreak etc. one could ask for. I'm talking about the VIDEO, which has nothing to do with the ALBUM TITLE. Enjoy the video, I guess.

[@brysonteel]

Honestly, I felt like the tone of the song matched the video pretty well. Obviously the song can be interpreted in many ways, but it feels like a simple way to portray a deep seated hopelessness. Representing a child like spirit of hope that gets destroyed at every turn, and then the vocalist almost feels like that kid in the future trying to process the empty feeling in response to years of being let down.

[@handsome_man69]

I really like this band. They are almost as good as Coldplay
