Shrine by Alanna Boudreau

this is a song about love, categories, religion, attachment, forgiveness, freedom. so however you interpret it, you're probably onto something.
It's malleable.
sometimes when I sing it I'm thinking of a parent. sometimes when I sing it I'm thinking of a man. sometimes when I sing it I'm thinking of God.
LYRICS:
guess I never felt
like I could get to you
guess I never felt
like you wanted me to
I'm back in town, &
my hair has gotten long
I'm back in town, (like that's anything to you)
I built a shrine!
I built a shrine!
some folks were welcome,
some were unclean.
my favorites were the ones
who looked just like me.
I keep a couple
photographs of you
nobody knows it,
cause they're kept out of view
sometimes I cover up half
of your face to see
the great pretender looking out of your eyes.
I built a shrine!
I built a shrine!
some folks were welcome,
some were unclean.
my favorites were the ones
who thought just like me.
(God came in, said, "not what I need."
I blew the __ing place to smithereens.)

May you never forget you are truly loved by God. May the Lord bless you. Happy Advent.

I love what you do with the guitar. The notes in the chords seem to blur together, in a hazy sort of way. Like a blue and grey watery fog...

Your music never fails to touch my soul. Great work!

Love it! Love your sound -- nothing out there quite like it. Very fresh and deeply textured, both musically and lyrically.
