[@ThomasParrish]

This is my absolute favorite song right now, so haunting and beautiful.

[@alexs.3383]

Ethel's voice is so strong! During gentle versus, her mouth is sometimes hardly moving yet her voice still sounds so resonant & powerful

[@TrickOrRetreat]

Wise men don´t underestimate woman 😘And they live longer 😉Still happy

[@ginayoung130]

Her voice isn't perfect, it's more than. It's clear and brave and it heals me more every time I listen. Hayden, her voice, her lyrics, her personas, they are magnetic and she's a stunningly beautiful artist in every way. Her music is holy ground to me. She has saved me on so many nights when love has forsaken me.🩵

[@dakota5799]

This song was introduced to me after me and my partner who I was very much still in love with broke up. The relationship didn’t end because something bad happened but it was just something that neither of us WANTED but we knew need to happen and I’m still grieving through this, and this song and it’s lyrics and instrumentation just are so painfully beautiful. I resonate super hard with the lyrics: “I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse 'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Oh Ethel, thank you for the pain.

[@bryanbrasile2703]

that's my story too...6 years later and "it hurts to miss you" is what kills me every listen. ethel is a treasure to have during my dark times

[@horsezanthus5040]

This is literally perfect songwriting for me. It’s only my opinion. I haven’t heard this song for months, after having listened to it on repeat for ages. The intonation, the chiaroscuro of the piano, the dynamics of the lyrics against the almost minimalist instrumental backing. I get goosebumps, just from the quiet bits. Beautiful,and it breaks my heart, days after hearing it. Peace guys

[@EdsCollegeLife]

If you have left a fundamental church or any high control group you’ll understand this pain. You feel so alone. Thank you Ethel Cain for helping me heal from my religious trauma

[@jakehaley7774]

Ethel Cain is a character they created, not really your average church runaway she joins a cannabilitic cult.

[@johnmatrix-qf4jd]

Lol

[@miccopassaro]

Love the album. It's a shame there is no physical release of it.

[@krudcobain]

it makes you cherish it even more

[@espresso_beans]

fr like she NEEDS to release a preacher's daughter vinyl

[@BareBandit]

​@@krudcobain Kind of the opposite. There's no promising you can hear it if you don't actually own it.

[@brendonchristopher1234]

Listened to this on repeat in the car .. read the lyrics and brought tears to my eyes. The voice and melody and everything. Hauntingly beautiful ❤

[@lillierappleye2731]

I cried to this song for 2 hours today. Your voice is magic😭

[@sel__ina]

she's the love of my life.. ethel.. hayden... i love you so much. :'((

[@LOYAmusic]

Man I’m so glad I found Ethel, and found this song. This shit makes me cry and really feel something from music I haven’t felt in years. I’m so grateful this shit exists. Thank you for doing what you do Ethel

[@pixelatedsunrise]

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)
