If there was a demon would you hold her? And be a nurse by her side? I'll take a corset of your words, Tie them up high, and bind them. You seem like you've always been, Wrote a book that's already been read, And if there was a beast would you hold him? And be a doctor by his side? He'll take the drugs that you've stolen, You'll be drunk on electric wine. Oh this town you've never seen before, There's always big guns at your door, The sentiment of class is blood born, I'd like to write a song for you, With arms wide open the way I do, And I'd like to tell the truth to you, Shot through the chest the way I do. If there was a demon would you hold her? And be a nurse by her side? I'll take a corset of your words, tie them up high and bind them. White developed her brand of "dark folk," at UC Santa Cruz in the early '00s. Her vision was shaped by both classic country and blues songwriters (and contemporary fare like Nick Cave and P.J. Harvey) and her discovery of cultural mythologies through the American Studies program. Although the Santa Cruz music scene provided White a comfortable place to develop her sound, she lacked the confidence to go beyond the house-show circuit with her band the Diamond Star Halos. A post-collegiate sojourn in France increased her sense of self-reliance and further shaped her outlook. "My experience of the world became more vague, spiritual, strange, less concrete," she explains. ... In 2006, White moved to San Francisco and started performing with new musicians under her own name. Her debut album Dark Undercoat, which will be released in September on Oakland's Double Negative Records, draws on five years of songwriting, collecting together songs that "felt the most tangible.".... http://www.emilyjanewhite.com/bio.htm Read more on Last.fm.
