about

Fortified Light is about my recurring attempts to feel better by doing more. I don't that believe as much as I used to, but I still need reminders that I don't have to grow to feel okay.

lyrics

I slip out of work and climb Potrero Hill
And I calm down in the 4pm light
A cup of wine, a couple gin and tonics will
Lay me out at a fortified height

I slip down from home to find some other means
To turn the valves on my fortified place
I plumb down a ways and hate the maze I see
And choose to move towards fortified ways

We all know the chase of heart improvement when tamping clatter.

I'm trusting the head to tell that place instead,
You don't have to grow to prove to me you get to feel okay.

There is time and space for hard improvement in cagey matters.

So trust in the head to tell that place again,
You don't have to grow to prove to me you get to feel okay.
You get to feel okay.

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
