Description: Hello & welcome to our eBay store. Includes MP3 download. Phil Elverum’s forthcoming album A Crow Looked At Me, is an attempt to process the death of his wife, Genevieve. In the months following her death, Elverum recorded the album in the room in which Genevieve died, using the instruments she owned with the words written on her own paper. The single “Ravens” is packed with the raw authenticity that one could expect from this process and gives an idea of the content of the rest of the album. The song avoids figurative language, opting instead to tell the story of his marriage with painful honesty. The song, at heart, ponders the weighty “what now” question by which Elverum is acutely confronted. Elverum questions whether it’s reasonable to anticipate a reunion, remarking: And I’m left living like this Crying on the logging roads with your ashes in a jar Thinking about the things I’ll tell you When you get back from wherever it is that you’ve gone But then I remember death is real Still, the song doesn’t give in to despair, but rather uses the grieving process as a way for Elverum to remake himself. Elverum introduces a glimmer of hope to the song’s end, saying: The ground absorbs and remakes whatever falls Nothing dies here But here is where I came to grieve To dive into it with you With your absence But I keep picking you berries Tracklist: 01.
