― textile in thighville (get bent), Friday, 10 February 2012 23:38 (thirteen years ago)
actually "Taste of Blood" is kind of jaunty... something off Hope's more recent "Through the Devil Softly" is probably more appropriate. tbf I have zero idea what 99% of Hope Sandoval's songs are about.
― max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 10 February 2012 23:39 (thirteen years ago)
Hope Sandoval's "Down the Steps" is about death. the lyrics are unusually direct by her standards (except for the parts where she mumbles), and she sounds really disturbed and forlorn here — quite different from her usual chilled-out melancholy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t18FhA6QmlMThere were nights, and mornings, when you'd come to me. Find your way into my bones, my joints, into my venes. Like an animal you called your darkness around me you spelled your name in charcoal all over my body. But these days I just walk with you. These days, I let you stay. A little further away but I'll walk with you These days, I let you stay.

^ Really more easily interpreted as living with chronic depression than horror dread or mortality dread, but I think it still belongs in any 2011 women living with dread songbook.

YES. Every song really.
Something about Stina's unemotive style really fills even less obviously portentous material with that sense of creeping dread; So This Is Goodbye is a walk in the park next to Dynamite but even that strikes me as very eerie and filled with with dramatic foreshadowing.
