I think Arlo Parks' music is just wonderful. Every track from beginning to end is a work of art executed to a level of taste I can't even comprehend...but I can enjoy it.
When reading through the lyrics of her new track "Hurt" I'm, most-noticeably, covered head-to-toe in goosebumps. I honestly feel humbled by her artistry and her way with words, so I'll stop talking now and let her music do the rest.
Lyrics:
Charlie drank it till his eyes burned then forgot to eat his lunch
Pain was built into his body heart so soft it hurt to beat
Wouldn't it be lovely to feel something for once
Oh wouldn't it be lovely to feel worth something huh
I know you can't let go of anything at the moment
Just know it would hurt so, won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
Charlie melts into his mattress
Watching Twin Peaks on his ones
Then his fingers find a bottle
When he starts to miss his mum
Wouldn't it be lovely to feel something for once
Yeah wouldn't it be lovely to feel worth something huh
I know you can't let go of anything at the moment
Just know it would hurt so, won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
Charlie started seeing stars so stuck on the new Jai Paul
Said my clothes are sticking to me and I can't quite see my walls
Started dreaming of a house with red carnations by the windows
Where he didn't feel so small so overwhelmed by all his flaws
I know you can't let go of anything at the moment
Just know it would hurt so, won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
I know you can't let go of anything at the moment
Just know it would hurt so, won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
I know you can't let go of anything at the moment
Just know it would hurt so, won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
