Kristin Hersh is likely best known from her days with Throwing Muses. She’s a tremendously talented singer/songwriter with a gift for introspection. This particular song is–I believe–about being in love and experiencing what’s known as “New Relationship Euphoria” or NRE for short. I could be completely wrong, and if anyone has better information, please let me know.
And of course, the lyrics:
Velvet Days you make your little way
Pouring rain make that face
You make my little day
I laugh till my heart drops down deep
You break your little freak
We break don’t we break don’t we
Blush and knock your knees
That’s your girl breathing
I laugh till my heart stops
Hold your shark skin thing
That’s your boy breathing
I laugh till my heart stops
Blush and breathe
I laugh till I can’t see
Down deep you break you little creep
I laugh
Listen blush and breathe
That’s you soul kissing
I Laugh
