about

Heart-wrenching lyrics wrapped in a melody that is all at once haunting and comforting. Writer, Jennifer, of the band Annagail, goes into deep territory of abuse from her past. This latest single shines a light on the abuse to encourage others to use their voice and speak their truth.  Please don’t let the pull of isolation keep you wrapped up in the trauma. This song and the whole project are touching on some very deep emotions and trauma that require a relationship with shadow and inner work.  This work opens you to the larger life within, facing the darkness and light. While at the same time celebrating and raging at it all.  The paradox of life and what makes you who you are requires a deep, long look at the trauma endured.  When you overcome and survive then that’s worth singing about.

Please listen and share. For every purchase, RAINN.org is being supported. They are a strong arm for women and survivors of abuse.

lyrics

Gave you a gold heart locket for my soul                                        
One you never paid for but you stole                  
You won’t cross over to the other side  
You never were a reliable guy

Took what you wanted when you wanted
The time was right I was too young to fight

Grandpa’s gone mad - the whole word is spinning
Maybe you’ll be the next one he’s pinning
                
Wake me up when the nightmare is over                  
Wake me up I’ll never play your Red Rover
Days almost done now you should go
Your ‘preacher ways’ were only for a show

Grandma says “it can’t be true”
After all I was only 2  
“You’re makin’ in it up child, you should know
Goin’ to hell for diggin’ a hole

The aftermath and the afterlife
Ain’t much different than the devil’s wife  
She’ll know it’s true - keep denying you’re right

about

Annagail Grand Rapids, Michigan

Equal parts singer/songwriter and rock band holding their own with heavy hitters or in an intimate setting. Somehow, they make sense in all extremes. A blend of courage and frailty are embraced and they’re proud of both. As Jared has said of their fluid style, “Its not uncommon for me to listen to The Cure and Steve Earl back to back...before breakfast even.”
