lyrics
I am learning
to be kinder to myself
It’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do
Let my heart at once beat red
And once beat blue
Give my love away
Even if no one calls my name
I am learning to be kinder to myself
I am learning
to leave well enough alone
If he wants to talk, he will call
Won’t let silence turn this sweetness back to salt
It’ll be alright
Even with every lonely night
I am learning to be kinder to myself
It’ll take some time
To slow the circles in my mind
To feel what must be felt
Forgive the card that I’ve been dealt
I am learning
I am more than my pain
And I deserve someone who’s good for me
Even on the days when my heart disagrees
I can take my love away
Cause even if he is calling my name
I am learning to be kinder to myself
I am learning to be kinder to myself

A go-to local (Nashville) fav of mine, Andrew a master of vibe and textures, self producing all his own stuff. If you like Big Thief, Andy Shauf, and other great indie rock/folk you'll love this. Jobi Riccio

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off.
felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery.
thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness
