    Your music is helping me through my moms cancer journey, losing my faith in God, a broken abusive engagement, late aspergers diagnosis and so much more. It's been a hell of a couple years for me. Thank you for creating music that helps me release that pain i've been holding for far too long.

      This is a modern masterpiece of underground whatever genre you call it.
      The 90's tech awful cameras and videography aesthetic mixed with the recurring theme of smoking and insane, meaningless brand loyalty self-destructive consumerism (marlboro) coupled with meaningful, hard-hitting lyrics.
      Transplanting late late 80's-90's era white [trash] southern culture themes into a setting modern enough to identify it is some serious uncanny valley shit. It's really uncomfortable and completely brilliant.

    Lyrics
    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
    Just a voice inside you
    And a stone to throw
    Could you be someone else
    If someone else is what I need
    But I shouldn't ask that of you
    When you are old you will understand
    But we are hurting now
    So what are we to do 'til then?
    Cradling pictures of you
    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
    You have 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
    And baby I know
    Drive the pathway through the pines
    And the moors of mystery
    Welcome conflict and let the crisis come
    And shake the ground beneath
    And the family secret hiding
    In the farmhouse down the street
    Rushes open door on your front porch and shadow me
    Taken and entirely, I embrace the bonny beast
    Over hills and highlands we rode hard, the passing peaks
    Danger liked the virgin wife, beside me she would sleep
    Cherry was her dad's truck that she crashed at seventeen
    I kneel before what temper broke the branches on the beach
    And those thrilling highs and southern nights are always out of reach
    I learned a lesson
    I need to pray and hard
    Final hours take care of me, God (take care of me God)
    You have 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
    And baby I know
    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)
    No best foot forward to sway the odds (but is it enough)
    Just a voice inside you (to make it worth it in the end)
    Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
    Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
    Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
    Don't sink in me
    Don't sink in me with your dog teeth
    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
    If it was harder then
    It will be better now
    For I am here and changed
    I couldn't tell you how
    There before the grace of God go I laughing to myself
    Forgetting what about

    Man....Ethel's/Hayden's fashion choices are just super interesting and beautiful.
    I mean, her entire aesthetic is....it's all so visually rich and captivating.
    I love that I'm a straight cis guy in my 30s finding fashion inspiration from a 20s trans woman with face tattoos.
    lol....I love the modern world. Seriously. It's genuinely wonderful how diverse and beautiful people are and how we finally live in a world where all sorts of voices and perspectives can now be seen for how deeply interesting they are.
    As a 38 year old....I'm kinda jealous of how limitless the younger generation is. They unshackled themselves in a way my generation didn't at their age. And now I'm learning how to do that more myself....from them.
    Anyway....I'm rambling. I just think Hayden(Ethel) is a perfect example of why baby boomers need to stfu when whining about younger kids and stereotyping them based on what Tucker Carlson told them.
    Gah....I'm ranting now. Bye. :P

      Tip: define your life beyond just being gay. Or straight. Whatever. Y’all are obsessed with yourselves.

    you’re fucking jokingggg this is so good. the filming and editing is just immaculate. got some sort of feeling in me at 6:56 where you throw your arms up right in time with that vocalization. You’re an amazing artist, musically as well as visually. You’ve really got something special.

    (sorry this is long, its like 2am here & I have a little buzz on)
    TLDR; every aspect of this song hits me like telepathy & it's beautiful. I'm living vicariously through the video
    (its so like seeing a parallel universe or something, it's so like the life I thought Iwas going to have. I met someone who I thought was really special, that i was the luckiest person ever to have them, who said they loved me more than anything. we planned our dream life, we really had it all worked out, all we had to do was stay in our jobs another 3 years, save our money & then we'd take off, we were going to travel round the country in a van, we were going to just wander, just be free. I've wanted to be free all my life.
    ofc none of it was true, neither of us were who the other thought they were & honestly, thank God that I didn't run away with them because it wouldn't have been anything like I imagined. It would have been incarceration. it would've been horrific. it WAS horrific but it'd have been worse alone in a van driving along the cheddar gorge!
    watching the video, it's like a glimpse of that daydream version- even in the daydream there was a sense of unease, a sort of very slow-building havoc in the beauty, I thought it was something that would come & go, I didn't think it could hurt me.
    But the last part, when you sing 'you hold it, you hold it, but you’ll never know....we're better off if you let go' I swear you're singing back through time to a very scared person lying on a hospital gurney in the resus room, at 4am almost 8 years ago now, grabbing her courage with one hand & flinging that dream away with the other, & I'd not been able to feel God since that person came into my life but I felt God (I don't know exactly what I mean by God, it's just the vocabulary that I learnt to describe a presence) in that room & I promised I'd survive.)

    This song occurs in my mind remembering my childhood living and going places in a car. Couldn’t find a good home to go. Sleep in the car. My mama hold me while she waits for dad’s shift over. Broke but still happy with my parents.
