A hard rain is falling
Trouble is clouding my mind
No one’s at home waiting for me
And I can’t find the reason or rhyme
I hear you sing “How I Got Over”
And straight into my heart your voice lands
So I move in a little closer
Cause you make me feel like I can
Mahalia, Mahalia, I’m reaching back now to you
Mahalia, Mahalia, you were a woman, too
When you travelled this world
You moved mountains
You answered the call when it came through
But I wonder, did you have a shoulder
To lean on when your long day was through
You gave to a world that never had your back,
The balm, the balm, the very Balm of Gilead
Mahalia, Mahalia, I’m reaching back now to you
Mahalia, Mahalia, you were a woman, too

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off.
felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery.
thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness
I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
