I will not attend your funeral
I will not be there to morn
I do not like the smell of flowers
I do not like the weight of dark flowers
Look what love does to me
I will not attend your funeral
I will not worship your bones
I do not like you when your hands are cold
I do not like you when your eyes are closed
Look what love does to me
I will not accept your betrayal
I will not be left alone
How could I go on without you
You are my creator aren’t you
Aren’t you, you are my creator aren’t you
Aren’t you, you’re the one that teaches me aren’t you
Aren’t you, you’re the one that guides me aren’t you
Aren’t you, you’re the one that guards me aren’t you
Aren’t you, you’re the one that loves me aren’t you
Aren’t you, you’re the one that saves me aren’t you
So please, don’t let me know when you die
(‘cause I don’t want to know)
And I’ll keep writing to you now and then
(just like I always do)
I’ll be accept when you don’t respond,
and I...
Courtney Swaine is not a newbie on the rock music scene. Being a founding member and one of the creative heads of "Bent Knee", and in this context renowned for her charismatic delivery of vocals and keyboards on stage, it's not a surprise that her solo works are of a similar innovative quality. Her second album "Monstre" clearly is her most venturous and experimental one of the three available on Bandcamp at the time of this writing (April 2019). Seemingly without effort, she's pushing the boundaries of the relevant rock subgenres beyond all conventional limits, so the only reasonable tag that's left is aventgarde - and that's a good thing!
