Sweetness And Pain I

from Walking Into White by Sarah McQuaid

/

about

It was only after I’d recorded this a cappella song that we decided it might be most effective if we were to split it into three parts, to be scattered amongst the other tracks as a sort of interlude and recurring theme. Here’s the first part.

lyrics

The sweetness of the berry
Doesn’t take away the pain
Of the briar when it stabs you
In the hand
But the power of your craving
For the fruit among the thorns
Is driving you to risk
Another chance
Sweetness and pain
Summer sun and autumn rain
