when you boil down all the emotions the crane wives songs make you feel you get either spite or sorrow and sometimes both
i was going to tell you that you're wrong, because 'how to rest' is about neither of those things; it's about continuing to love in spite of sorrow
and then i was like "oh damn that's both"
I love that bittersweet feeling :)
give me all of both, heck yeah
I also feel like sometimes (often?) theres some wistfulness in there. But that's a related feeling. That & acceptance (as someone else already nicely put it) in spite of sorrow.
Call that sporrow. Srite? Either way I’m feeling it

I remember the first time I really **heard** this song while listening to it, I was on the verge of tears for the vast majority of it, the line, "Little girl don't let the sell you any armor, all your ribs are still your own," making me finally break down in tears. I'd been dealing with some repressed trauma, having realized that someone had assaulted me and I unfortunately hadn't quite realized when it occurred that that was what had happened. So it's three years after it happened, and suddenly I **realize.** And I felt lost, broken, like my body wasn't mine- but then I hear this, telling me exactly what I needed to hear in order to have the strength to deal with it. It was the comfort I was never given, the shelter I never had, someone that I could've safely told what happened then. Someone who would've told me, "You're still yours, you get to choose how that affected you, and you never have to feel that way again."
OH! MY GOD, THANA! That it is beautiful. It's really good when we hear what you want to hear in a song, and it affects us so much. Finally we realize what really happened and we don't know what to do, it's horrible. I was also slow to notice the harassment and manipulation that the (older) boy who was a friend did to me. It was a long three months and long months after I ended the friendship, because I was afraid of him unconsciously, to realize the real gravity of it. I regained courage and told my family and they understood and supported me.
If one day you feel comfortable and confident enough to tell those you know, I hope for you. I keep cheering, but it's good to reinforce it kkk (^^).
I'm so sorry that happened to u I'm glad that u found some comfort
I'm sorry, hugs! (If you want them)
@@agarotaestatueta2811 I'm sorry that happened to y'all we have had similar experiences and it just sucks. We won't let them win and we won't let the people how harmed us define us! -Jadie (sol system)
Went through somthing similar. went years not fully understanding why certain actions made me cry or sent me into a panic attack. I made so many excuses why my ex was entitled to the things he took and why his own trauma excused him when he left. I didn't realize and contend with what actually happened until he called out of the blue years later to be friends again and I had the realization and calmly as I could told him exactly what he did to me before hanging up. Now Im with someone who never would even think of taking something from me without it being given and with that plus therapy Im finally healing.
Its a long journey that takes years to process and even more to heal from. It will feel like you are at your lowest when you realize what happened, It will feel like you where doing fine before and now you arent, even though locking away the trauma isn't the same as healing from it. days will get better, life will get easier, and you will find new ways to heal.
"The dark doesn't frighten me
, I chose to close my eyes" IS SUCH A RAW LYRIC???? IM STILL THINKING ABOUT IT ITS SO GOOD
I just thought this might be about adam's first wife, Lilith, who was independent and headstrong because she was made of the same clay as Adam. All her ribs were literally her own.
I knew that was Emilee's artwork the moment I saw it on the thumbnail. I still remember looking at her work in high school. She's come a long way.
@Solina Tsegai Totally Same!!!! It would be such a dream
I absolutely LOVE the imagery in this video. I had to show it to my 14 year old daughter, a budding animator, whose artistic eye is SO similar that it's spooky. Her mind also conjures up fantasy images of animal skulls, sinew, blood, etc.
Wow! How lovely!
Cool!
I’m glad you’re supportive of that, I seem to gross people out when I draw the above.
Marrow made a wife of Eve
But no one gave up a rib for me
And mine
My heart did expose to the elements
Calloused and untouched by a man's design
Oh, my ugly organs
How lucky we are
Brick and mortar between my bones
Built a kingdom fierce and fortified
My name fading from the yellow page
Stones are laid upon the mountainside
Oh, my savage empire
How lucky we are
Never to be moved by the words of a liar
The dark doesn't frighten me
I chose to close my eyes; it is mine
The night doesn't frighten me
I chose to let it ride; it is mine
Time has changed the metaphor
Now, dust is not the origin of bone
Little girl, don't let them sell you any armor
All your ribs are still your own
Oh, my precious child
How lucky you are
Handed down a shield for your tender parts
The dark doesn't frighten me
I chose to close my eyes; it is mine
The night doesn't frighten me
I chose to let it ride; it is mine
The dark doesn't frighten me
I chose to close my eyes; it is mine
The night doesn't frighten me
I chose to let it ride; it is mine
My heart stayed exposed to the elements* instead of "did expose"
I chose to let it thrive* instead of "let it ride"
Last stanza ends with "I chose to close my eyes" again instead of "let it thrive"
The "brick and mortar" really sounds like "Rick and Morty"
@@controldeleters I thought so too, even pointed out to a friend and she ignored me smh
@@alienapple010x5 your friend denies the truth
The Crane Wives is the first band that finally made me understand why people love music
Idk how to describe it beyond that, but I found myself just listening to their songs, not doing anything else or working on anything, just listening and I like, finally understood. Incredible
Welcome to the ranks of Music Lovers Global
You haven't seen nothing yet. Try "The oh hellos"
@@timowl26 i feelboth bands are like the two faces of a same coin 🪙 - they are different in subject and style but channel such a similar energy- y’all both bands are marvelous
My freind recently showed this to me and I feel exactly the same.
My interpretation is this song is about Lilith, the first wife of Adam.
She was created separately of Adam, unlike Eve, who came from Adam’s rib (hence “No one gave up a rib for me” and “Calloused and untouched by a man's design”).
She left Paradise because she refused to be subservient to Adam (which fits with the vibe of the song, being an independent woman).
The line “Brick and mortar between my bones/ Built a kingdom fierce and fortified” talks about her making a new life for herself after leaving Adam.
Lilith is known in many texts as a demon of the night. This song is her talking about how despite how she’s presented, abandoned and displaced, she is still satisfied because she can be independent (hence, choosing the darkness). She is the demon of night, an outcast but her life is hers, and hers alone.
“My name fading from the yellow page”, The yellow page is the Bible, which has gotten so old, everyone has forgotten about Lilith after Eve.
I didn’t have enough time to look into the significance of “Stones are laid upon the mountainside”, but knowing the Crane Wives, it’s gotta be DEEP AF. Maybe it has something to do with women being stoned to death over history, be it for infidelity, speaking up, displeasing their husband or being accused of being a witch? People have forgotten women can be strong so they oppress them.
“Time has changed the metaphor/ Now, dust is not the origin of bone” This line is super clever, Lilith was created by God, not out of rib, but DUST. Over time, after everyone forgot about Eve, people forgot that Adam’s wife was not made of her own, separate materials, but now everyone believes Adam’s wife was always and only part of him. The metaphor of creation has changed, but Lilith is here to remind us she is still her own.
The second part is Lilith talking to a girl, born thousands of years after her time. She is telling her that she’s lucky that she lives in an age where she can be strong and hold her own power (hence the shield that has been handed down through the struggle of other women, the little girl does not have to let men give her “a rib”, or power, she has it with her already). Lilith sees her struggle as worthy because other women have learned to not “buy the armor” others are selling them, because they can exist on their own. Their “ribs”, or existence, belong to them and then alone.
Omg! This is awesome!!! This makes so much sense!!👍💛💛💛
@@sophiamacgregor2011 thank you!
@@ellasedits_ of course!👍❤❤❤❤
This is super interesting to read, I’m not religious but religion has always seemed very interesting.
For the line “like stones laid upon a mountainside” I saw it as Lilith possibly being forgotten, but never able to get completely forgotten. She may have been forgotten after Eve, but the old texts still show her and talk of her. Trying to hide a mountain.
That’s my personal thoughts, but yours makes a lot of sense.
This is an incredible analysis, and really interesting. I was raised Catholic and hadn’t heard Lilith’s story, so thanks for sharing it.
I think the ‘stones laid on the mountainside’ is a reference to trail markers. For a long time when making new trails or roads, people would drop stones or make piles of them to mark the trail so that others could follow. Since Lilith is walking out on her own in this verse, it’d be her making her own path, but also ones that others can follow.
Could be wrong, but that’s how I’m interpreting it for now. Either way, beautiful song, wonderful analysis. :)
Got me feeling some kind of way. Not sure what exactly, but I think I need to run barefoot through the foggy woods and become joined with nature in all its savage majesty.
U should play "meadow" then. Or maybe "journey"
Well said, my friend, well said...
I'd maybe develop some calluses first. Our feet are pretty delicate from wearing shoes outside. :P
Honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard.
What a huge compliment, thank you so much!
i'm an 18 year old transwoman in south carolina
i've been listening to this on loop all day
its the only thing thats letting me drown out intrusive thoughts of self harm
thank you.
So glad the music is speaking to you, just make sure that you reach out if you need support! You are worthy of love, don't forget! 🧡

Next time try singing it too. You can't have intrusive thoughts when you're singing. A trick a therapist taught me to help with my own intrusive thoughts. Extra meta if you choose to sing Turn Out the Light.
@@wayfareangel i recently got out of SC and i havent had to shut put the world as much anymore
that being said, thanks for the tip
@@wayfareangel Singing is great!!! It's one of my own coping mechanisms. I didn't realize that you literally couldn't think while singing! That's amazing haha tysm
Hey. As a fellow person of South carolina, I know this place isn't always the best with acceptance. I'm really hopping you're better now and you really deserve love. As much as any cis person. As much as any trans person. 💛
I'm so glad my daughters are growing up in a world where this song exists.
I'm almost in tears. I heard this song almost 3 years ago, and loved it. I couldn't stop thinking about it for a week, and when I went to retrieve it from my history, it was no where to be seen. It was saddening, since the song had such an impact on me. Fast forward three years, I find my new favorite song: Tongues and Teeth. Such a familiar voice with such a familiar name. I didn't realize until I dug into this channel that this song laid here. Thank you for making such inspirational and beautiful music. It's truly inspiring. I hope my band creates songs with equal if not greater passion.
🥚
That's all I gotta say.
@@dr.durian6874 err, egg?
@@anotsowonderfulstory4942 Dunno lol, just felt like commenting something with absolutely no context to what you just said whatsoever. But other than that, how've you been doing since this comment being made?
@@dr.durian6874 yknow, not too hot. But I'll pull through. I got songs like this one to keep me going.
"Little girl, don't let them sell you any armor, all your ribs are still your own" *Everyone liked that*
Ok now I have no doubt that the Crane Wives absolutely make witch music, those guys are witches I swear, the whole bone theme, the witchy vibe in general and I mean listen to "The moon will sing" and tell me that's not a witch song referencing the god and godess like-
Thanks miss obvious
(Couldn't pass up the opportunity)
Witches that know how to make good music
The Moon Will Sing is about an unfulfilling relationship and how someone can lose parts of themself when trapped in one. Witches aren't really a thing. Paganism isn't what y'all think it is.
Bone chilling! No pun intended lol.
Thanks!
Soooo many skellingtons
Intend your puns, coward.
This song gives off that one feeling that you get once and once only
0:12 I choose to read this as, “My name is the Crane Wives, but my friends call me Ribs”
As an AFAB nonbinary person, this song really speaks to me, especially the line, "No one gave up a rib for me and mine." I'm grateful I found the Crane Wives. All their music is amazing!
Oh god the art makes me feel. it's so good. there are so many details. Do you even SEE that hair??? And the song?? Jeez it all goes so well together. The song feels like the art and the art feels like the song.
As a transfem person who used to have a toxic relationship with religion and is most comfortable at night this song resonates deeply with me.
Between all the symbolism of "little girl don't let them sell you any armor all your ribs are still your own". While on the other hand the sheer power "the dark doesn't frighten me I chose to let it thrive" exudes.
Thanks for my new favorite song I'll add it to my playlist of 6 songs on loop, lol
❤
It feels like I can smell paper and ink while watching this vid and its an unexpectedly lovely memory to recall with the song
It really sounds like she's saying "Rick and Morty between my bones" and I can't get it out of my head 😅
THIS BASS LINE WHAT
this entire band is so talented i will now cry
"little girl don't let them sell you any armor, all your ribs are still your own" has me feeling An Emotion. anyways any angry and hurt women on the brink of losing it want to secretly train in the arts of archery and blood rituals on the edge of a forest of pines with me sometime?
My 14-year-old grandson turned me on to the Crane Wives, he has such empathy for people in such a great taste in music which I know he got from me I can only say when I heard this song explained immediately to me why he loved this band so much
First I listened to High Horse, then this. You've got yourself a new fan.
Thank you so much for sticking with us, Liam! Glad to have you aboard the SS Crane Wives! :D
Omg you should listen to curses crane wives it gave me chills
This is awesome! I love how the illustrations reinforce a kind of atmospheric desolation and detachment, like sci-fi concept art. I always thought Show Your Fangs deserved a similar treatment.
Interesting interpretation. The illustrations in this video have always resonated with me as community and healing, as well as the lyrics. The women in these drawings are almost never alone, and most of the ones who are alone stare directly at the viewer, roping you into their gaze. The skull-fox sits with the crows as equals, and is cradled tenderly by the little girl. The ram skulled women come together, and the bird joins them, another connection. The women hold themselves gently and confindently, and the lyrics like the kingdom, "me and mine" and the advice to the little girl all feel like solidarity with other women to me. It's sisterhood, motherhood, and mentorship from all angles.
Even though I’m a guy this version of Lilith is my favorite as someone who’s been in abusive relationships with parents and friends who control you like Adam wanted to control Lilith, I relate to her on so many levels, especially the chorus and the part “handed down a shield for your tender parts” because if it wasn’t for the hard work of the ones who fought before me so I could have the life I have I’d never have escaped the abuse of my family
I cry almost everytime I hear this song. It fills me with hope, but also sadness for them women who came before me.
If you saw my Lilith theory, it also makes me so mad. Lilith was the first woman, and she did not want to be lesser than Adam. She said, "I will not lie below," and he said, "I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one”. She wanted to be equal and for that her name became synonymous with a demon, an uncontrollable, evil demon.
So many feels ;((
I can't find words to explain just how good this song, this art, and all the other songs are.
Revisiting this im loving the final chorus’s tone shift from sorrow pity and spite to mourning acceptance and empowerment and rejoicing the escape of abuse and owning yourself
The Crane Wives, how is it being responsible for probably one of the most misheared lyrics in the history of music?
Also, I love your music.
What are you referring to? I'm stupid, don't judge me
@@pellaw8011 "Rick and Morty between my bones" (which is actually "Brick and mortar between my bones")
@@mascotwithadinosaur9353 ah, gotcha! thanks
When they said "Rick and Morty" between my bones, I felt that.
Lmao I always hear it too😂 man I love this song and all the others in the album
Funny, in the song "Curses" I always here "Every word I say is Gimli" instead of "Every Word I say is kindling."
great to see this band of talented and just nice people making it and not giving up. true artists not the usual crap you hear on the radio. they set poetry to music. turned many people here in Buenos Aires on to this group. Looking forward to your show in Traverse city this summer.
My favourite song ♥️touches me in a way nothing else compares. So poignant of the female experience.
This is my personal favorite song of yours, it fully expresses a feeling I have that I just cannot fully explain. Thank you for making me feel less alone.
I love the one image with the barn owl. I'd actually love to get a tattoo of that.
...Well that's one way to inspire body positivity.
Found this today, and damn. Just fucking chills.
Sometimes it do be like that.
I love this song so much, and the music video is amazing!!
All your music is too underrated ESPECIALLY this song. Literally makes me feel feelings I didn't even know existed
Truly a masterpiece
This is prob my fav song from the Crane Wives and also in general, but I like pretty much all the songs from The Crane Wives
Ya'll need a doctor. I think you have a serious case of ''underrated''!
"my heart is exposed to the almonds" is what i heard the first time
so now that ive seen the clip this song has a whole new terrifying meaning. really glad it was added to the playlist from the topic channel.
Oh wow I love this so much! Both the song and the drawings are equally beautiful ❤ I cry every time I listen to this song, it just so meaningful
Am I the only one who thinks this band hits the soul of Indy game Wildermyth?
Holy wow! Any plans for Emilee to have a gallery show? I'm already a fan of the music, but that art!
Thank you so much, Bryce! :D My artwork will be on display at Founders Brewing Co in GR throughout the month of February! If you can't make that, I post a lot of my work to Instagram (instagram.com/ermsauce/).
I'm not local to GR, so I'll be sure to watch your Insta feed!
This song I only found it recently but it has gotten me through something unimaginably hard to even begin to explain. I needed to hear this it has brought me great peace and the beauty of the lyrics moves me in ways I never thought possible. I love you guys and your music keep putting out such soul felt beauties and may your growth everlast you guys are amazing!
Goosebumps the whole time...
There isn't a single frame in this video that wouldn't make a sick ass tattoo
this & the moon will sing will forever be some of my most important adds to many "about me" playlists thanks to the emotions they dig up & the places they hit for me but wow.. i just returned yesterday from a pretty serious suicide attempt & i was wanting to hear music i adore. i'm in a mood right now where i'm so so so so beyond grateful to be alive still and this song just hit me in a way it never has before. you guys are something special, your music has grown and changed with me, adapted to my life, reached deep to emotions i couldn't imagine trying to fit into words. thank you for this, and for the moon will sing, and for so many others. i'll sleep well tonight, i believe. thank you once again. be well 💛
this comment barely manages to express how grateful i really truly am that i get to listen to such lovely sounds whenever i want. thank you guys. you've always been a go to band. i'll never tire of you
My little 16 year old heart is melting to the sound of these melodies
This is a beautiful and wildly impactful song, and I don't want to diminish that in any way........... but also every single time I hear what's supposed to be "brick and mortar" at 1:07 I instead hear "Rick and Morty between my bones" and I don't know how to stop
THIS
Literally! It catches me off guard every single time I listen too and I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who hears it 😂
Theres just something about that guitar that is so RAW
Was awesome hearing this live tonight. I'm going to have to share it again!
My aunt Elizabeth Fowler (Lizzie Liberty ) recommended you guys to me. I love your music and can't wait for the album!
Roe v Wade has now been overturned and I will simply sit in a corner, listening to this song as I cry.
We feel that. Goddamn, do we feel that 😩
This very song and these very illustrations really be the only thing keeping me sane sometimes thank you so much for making this
This is my second favorite song by y’all. It feels how my soul does.
This song is absolutely gorgeous!
Ikr💝💝
I know it’s brick and mortar but I can’t help but hear “Rick and Morty between my bones”
The art on this video is so incredible. I love how well it fits with the song!
You guys are underrated. Keep it up!
Good art accompanied with good music is always good
This song always hits so different. Beautiful and sad and defiant.
Rick and Morty between my bones
Yes to this.
Wow. Beautiful.
Why are you so underrated? Your band is my favorite band I adore you guys I hate that you’re so underrated! You need more fans a lot more fans
So much yes!!
Amazing!
The images on this video remind me of the legend and myth of the Native American Navajo Skin -Walkers. The folk tail of shape shifters that can posses or disguise themselves as an animal. The Creative Crain Wives' Songs Are Where Legends Are Born.. Be Ware Of The Fox, She's A Crafty One ! By the way nice tune..
I'm so glad that exactly one year I discovered you guys! I can't resist to your songs that make many references to the God, the Goddess, just my belief!!! I love supernatural, and I'm glad for being your witch fan!!!
Uuuuugh I love it so much.
I just now found your music and I love it so much I cant believe how good you are ❤❤❤
This song makes me sob every time
1:08 rick and morty between my bones
Omfg I love the crane wives
My computer held on at 1% battery for me to finish this song. That is some mad commitment.
I saw you guys at a local concert (Summer Breeze, Norman Oklahoma, July 2017 (please remember XD)) and I am so glad I casually bought 3 of your CD albums when I was there; I had no clue how amazing all of you are. I just finished listening to The Fool in Her Wedding Gown on digital, and I gotta say I don’t understand why your band isn’t better known. It just makes me sad that the masses can’t accept songs like this; songs that are so thought provoking. You guys rock!
I am coming this Thursday to your thing
I will forever and always translate this song for myself: Stand up as an independent woman and never throw your entire existence to a man. I’ve come back to it so many times over the years as my strength song. “Little girl don’t let them sell you any armor, all your ribs are still your own.”
shitting, crying, throwing up
This video triggered some deja vu in my for the entire first time I watched it and I can’t tell if it’s because I’ve heard the song before or just cause of sleep deprivation
RICK AND MORTY BETWEEN MY BONES.
I keep thinking shes saying Rick and Morty between my bones TwT
"The night doesn't bother me, I chose to let it thrive, and it is MINE, IT IS MINE..."
That says everything, and if you know me, and the sick sad faery tale that has been my life, you'd know it would become my anthem, but I'd rather you not know why it chills my bones in the most beautiful way, and makes me feel so deeply the feral strength that runs forever like (S)teel through my blood, the last one standing- Mimi, Mommy, Papa, Daddy- I am the sum total of you all, my ghosts in the trees, and I am finally home among you once more, my savage empire regained, and I will NEVER LEAVE this time, I won't murder you all twice, I have tasted karma and retribution and finally seen forgiveness and peace reflected in a horse's eye, the greatest gift of all you nudged me toward, taking better care of me in the afterlife than you ever did when you were living, guiding my way into a life I am finally willing to fight for...
I had to lose so much to gain this tenuous high ground, and somehow I am starting to realize it was all worth it, maybe the cards added up after all...
Anyway. Out of steam now.
Yet another amazing song from an amazing band I wish I had found long ago, although it's crazy what finds you in it's own time, if you let things come, they will- the things that resonate will somehow find their way to you, when the time is most right for them...
I have to trust that much.
I think I am starting to...
Thank you for this song, and all the others.
(Riding the high- today, the crash.
Maybe the cards don't add up after all, maybe nothing does, or I was simply never meant to be here... Manic depression is a hell of a ride, I'll give it that much...)
I love this song. I truly do. But every time I hear "Brick and mortar between my bones", my brain parses it as "Rick and Morty between my bones"...
"Rick and Morty between my bones"
Is this song inspired by Lilith?
Nailed it!!
Oh my god it’s official now!
Suggestion:put lyrics in your descriptions...Thanks for your music.
The lyrics are truly beautiful so hell yes.
Just saw this on r/listentothis Damn this is fantastic.
its my gender dysphoria and i pick the comforting song!
The amount of transfemmes in these comments, makes me, a trans man, fucking giddy. Good for you, babes
I have to say. First time I heard it, I heard: Rick and Morty between my bones ....
rick and morty between my bones
Why do these songs remind me so much of Over the Garden Wall?
