Ethel Cain - God’s Country (Solo Version)

[@AmericanVVhore]

"God's Country" [Verse 1: Ethel Cain] The road is longer than it is hard With no one to guide you And no one to hold No best foot forward to sway the odds And just a voice inside you And a stone to throw [Verse 2: Ethel Cain] Could you be someone else If someone else is what I need? But I shouldn’t ask that of you When you’re old you’ll understand But we’re hurting now so what are we to do 'til then? Cradling pictures of you [Verse 3: Ethel Cain] It was a highway to nowhere, and we rode it Cold car with no gas and we chose it Soft bodies playing in the street Our kids will grow up with half as much Trying to build something out of dust Finding out too late what they need [Chorus: Ethel Cain] You’ve tasted love and it tasted sweet You drank the blood and bit the meat You hold it, you hold it, you let it go You close your eyes and count to three You say the word and come to me Baby, I know [Bridge: Ethel Cain] The road is longer than it is hard (love overwhelms me) With no one to guide you (it’s all that I want, and it’s all that we have) Don’t sink in me with your dog teeth Don’t sink in me Don’t sink in me with your dog teeth [Chorus: Ethel Cain] You’ve tasted love and it tasted sweet You drank the blood and bit the meat You hold it, you hold it, but you’ll never know You close your eyes and cry to me Don’t sink in me with your dog teeth We’re better off if you let go In God’s country In God’s country

i genuinely flinched the first time i heard the guy's part

[@jccain7]

always wished i could listen to this beautiful song without that evil man interrupting. thanks!

[@sparrow_posts_stuff]

'that evil man' I CANT LMAO

[@thejacquelinerowland]

I literally avoided this song on the album for months because of the feature. I’ve learned to like it now but this version is still better imo

[@koikun]

I fucking LOVE this solo. I can't. I love it so much.

[@0505lauren]

Ughhh i want this + the outro 😭

[@sakissarantidis]

The first time I heard God's country I was completely taken by Ethel's ethereal vocals . Then the "Wicca" part emerged and I was kinda bummed out . No disrespect to the singer , of course -he's just not my cup of tea. That said , this version is great ! I also adore the demo version (minus the Wicca part, again)

[@richg16]

Nah he tanks what would have been a perfect song

[@seanbam1130]

​@@richg16 Took me a few listens to like his part tbh ethels just too good

[@darricktv9857]

@@richg16Wicca Phase is my favorite musician but I agree he ruins the song a little 😂

[@Steezealways]

He has a very nasally voice but I feel like in my opinion him paired with Ethel is such a vibe he’s definitely an acquired taste you either love him or you hate him but that’s what I love about him

[@indicolite1631]

me when i hear the most beautiful vocals of a woman only for an EVIL man to ruin it

GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS LIKE THESE COMMENTS 😭

[@yoongbae7796]

best thing happened to me in 2024 that I found this song

[@BenMorris-ef8px]

WHY WAS HE ADDED 😭😭

[@garrettstocke]

Because Wicca was an OG member of GothBoiClique (Lil Peeps group), we had pull in the industry.

[@04thofdecember]

Thank you so much for your service… i rlly didn’t like the other part, this is gold.

[@sakura7431]

way better now, thank you.

[@bean9396]

I haven't fallen in love with a singer since I found the Cocteau Twins.. yes, I'm old. ❤

[@Haydentrudyjones]

Omg can you please try to make a medley of the version she did at the Fonda? It was 3 different versions of God’s country together

[@AmericanVVhore]

Omg this is the exact thing I've been working on for a day lol! I'll try to post it if I edit it to perfection! Because as of now it sounds really bad lol 🥲 not sure if I will post it 😭

[@amphetamines2347]

Do you have the live version at Fonda? I can't find it😭

[@Haydentrudyjones]

I didn’t record those bits because I was enjoying them so much and was surprised she was doing multiple versions in one! I did get a bit of God’s country though, and I got her performance of Ptolemaea

[@valentijnjansen9470]

@@Haydentrudyjones can u post them omg

[@Umbrey_Dunctum]

That's really encouraging because I've been fantasising her doing the demo ll version of Strangers live , or including some of that versn's arrangement, rather than abandoning what I consider the best version of that song.

[@wassupkevin]

omg thanks

[@serialexpmari]

the fact its still a kinda long song without wicca

[@loveg2801]

is this in utah? because if so I've been everywhere these vids were filmed :0

[@kino9521]

People saying that wpse "ruined" the song... bruh Ethel literally chose him to be in it

[@Zuk0_0]

People can make wrong decisions, hope that helps!😅

[@kino9521]

@@Zuk0_0 So you're saying that the artist made the wrong decision about their own music just because you don't like it? lmao

[@Zuk0_0]

@@kino9521 from what I’ve seen, WAY more than half poeple said that the song was better without Wicca voice on it, so if we are talking objectively, Hayden made a wrong choice lol.

[@kino9521]

@@Zuk0_0 And why is that "objectively" the wrong choice? Because people wouldn't like it? Music goes beyond being likable or not, I'm not gonna attack someone's self expression just because it's not appealing to me, you do you though

[@cableguess2648]

i question everyones taste that prefers this version :/

[@DeimantėŽeižytė]

Wicca sounds like shit, sorry

[@kylezimmer6245]

you dare cut out our lord and savior, wpse?

[@nickimozaj4600]

it's literally a thousand times better lol

[@saintanhedonia]

he sounds like some frat boy that ethel dragged in and made it sing like he is nothing compared to her

[@aliciawinkler2183]

I think he's okay on his own but when contrasted with Ethel it's jarring lol

[@7drpeppercans558]

he does not fit the song at all. his delivery clashed with the song. this version is way better!!

[@redd4544]

Sorry the song needs wicca

[@marikostarkov]

*Needs Wicca cut out

[@user-ri1pl6cz8o]

This is disrespectful

[@robertadams1036]

How

[@ShadowBlade2772]

Yeah, Wicca ruining the song was disrespectful

[@vollmilchbaum6873]

Nah wicca sounds horrendous and destroys the song

[@noctisnovak]

He destroyed the song

[@avedic]

this thread objectively sucks, doesn't it? so....let's start over? entirely.
