Written and recorded on the same day in early November 2011, “Saint Nothing” finds Rossen invoking religious language over a solemn piano-based tune that evokes the qualities of a dirge. The repeated wistful hits on the piano are gradually overtaken by just as somber horns, as arranged by Kris Nolte...
[Verse 1]
Lift, lift your head
Myth, so pristine and white with age
Walk with me, speak to me
[Verse 2]
Saint, I don't know your name
But your voice, so strong, it speaks through the glass, speaks through the ground
An empty phrase, a hollow sound
[Verse 3]
Calm, quite severe
Leave the throng, a mind so clear, you feel no pain
An end so near, you taste the blood
[Outro]
How long? How long?
How long? How long?
