“Bliss” was recorded during the sessions for Kristin Hersh’s album Crooked but did not make the final cut; as such it was placed on an outtakes EP called Crooked Remainders that was released the week prior to it.
Of the song, on her website, Hersh says:
“‘Bliss’ happened a couple years ago, in Por...
Warm on your cold heart
Cool on your hot head
A worn blanket statement of innocence
A way out
A way to keep lying honest
If restless and frantic
And you, a breaking man
I've studied your shaking hands
And this, a pretty jail
Bliss, a beautiful jail
Hot coffee's melting this plastic cup
And cold, I can't dial this tiny phone
To find you
And no, you don't seem pathetic
Just restless, frenetic
And you, a breaking man
I've studied your shaking hands
And this, a pretty jail
Bliss, a beautiful jail
And you, a little kid
In a choke-hold of bliss
And this, a pretty jail
Bliss, a beautiful jail
Bliss was written by Kristin Hersh.
Bliss was produced by Kristin Hersh.
Kristin Hersh released Bliss on Sat Jul 10 2010.
