about

Brooke Annibale returns with a reimagined cover of Regina Spektor's unforgettable track "Samson".

lyrics

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long, when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of Wonderbread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin’ light, the morning light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of Wonderbread and went right back to bed
We couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

Every one of the songs on this album are cracking good songs. Not a dip in performance throughout. Influences vary but amid the poppier numbers there are hints of The Velvet Underground. followjohnreed

So delighted that Angel is finding that "hard won acceptance" that she sought and hope that her future path is one of authenticity. This work is one marked by melodious but not overwrought emotion, striking an intuitive balance of warmth and skill. hailhumanists
