You’re the reason why I’ll move to the city
You’re why I’ll need to leave
When the stakes are high, and things eventually bottom out, we’re left with reality.
We’re left with songs like Sharon Van Etten’s “Give Out,” taken from her latest album, Tramp, and you won’t find a song released in 2012 that’s more honest. Its message is simple:You go or stay. You do not linger. Even more, you’re better off leaving too early before you get caught staying too long.
Because no one, and I mean no one, wants to stay too long.
Sharon Van Etten will be performing on Saturday night at the Luminary Center for the Arts (w/The War On Drugs). Get your tickets here.
