this is the song and instrumental that has forever changed the way i perceive music. the way, without any vocals, the production tells the exact same story just as effectively as the actual song is absolutely mind boggling to me. god i love ethel.
These crosses all over my body Remind me of who I used to be Give myself up to him in offering Let him make a woman out of me I'm just a child but I'm not above violence My mama raised me better than that When the preacher talks, that man demands his silence And daddy said, "Shoot first, then run and don't look back" So take me down to the river and bathe me clean Put me on the back of your white horse to ride All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me I've killed before and I'll kill again Take the noose off, wrap it tight around my hand They say heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned And baby, hell don't scare me, I've been times before So take me down to the river and bathe me clean Put me on the back of your white horse to ride All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me These crosses all over my body Remind me of who I used to be And Christ, forgive these bones I've been hiding Oh, and the bones I'm about to leave, yeah And take me down to the river and bathe me clean, oh Put me on the back of your white horse to ride All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me, yeah

the church bells....they make the song so much more sinister
this instrumental / family tree by ethel cain go so well with the poem « finnister » by sylvia plath and i can’t unsee it
These crosses all over my body
Remind me of who I used to be
Give myself up to him in offering
Let him make a woman out of me
I'm just a child but I'm not above violence
My mama raised me better than that
When the preacher talks, that man demands his silence
And daddy said, "Shoot first, then run and don't look back"
So take me down to the river and bathe me clean
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me
I've killed before and I'll kill again
Take the noose off, wrap it tight around my hand
They say heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned
And baby, hell don't scare me, I've been times before
So take me down to the river and bathe me clean
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me
These crosses all over my body
Remind me of who I used to be
And Christ, forgive these bones I've been hiding
Oh, and the bones I'm about to leave, yeah
And take me down to the river and bathe me clean, oh
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me, yeah
I am BEGGING you to try and get the songs from Inbred
i’m ascending
me rn
4:44 i have to rewatch the origional song again to realise the bell sound
I LOVE THIS
this is crazy
Only listening to the instrumental i realized theres also some kind of rattles in the percussion
These crosses all over my body
Remind me of who I used to be
Give myself up to him in offering
Let him make a woman out of me
I'm just a child, but I'm not above violence
My mama raised me better than that
When the preacher talks, that man demands his silence
And daddy said, "Shoot first, then run and don't look back"
So take me down to the river
And bathe me clean
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me
Ah, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
I've killed before and I'll kill again
Take the noose off, wrap it tight around my hand
They say, "Heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned"
And baby, Hell don't scare me, I've been times before
So take me down to the river
And bathe me clean
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me
These crosses all over my body
Remind me of who I used to be
And Christ, forgive these bones I've been hiding
Oh, and the bones I'm about to leave, yeah
And take me down to the river
And bathe me clean, yeah
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
