Push my head against the window
Stare into the blank
Snowflakes dampen all my happiness
The heat they burn does not reach me inside
I see only dark in the light
The sun does not rise high enough to burn the dark away
The moon is not quite bright enough the stars are scatterbrained
I run outside and search in vain
Battling winds that try to constrain
Looking for anything that brings me back what’s restricted in my brain
But I draw only blanks and lose faith in this game
Where is my sun, where is my sun?
It’s all gray
The sun does not rise high enough to burn the dark away
The moon is not quite bright enough the stars are scatterbrained
The sun does not rise high enough to burn the dark away
The moon is not quite bright enough the stars are scatterbrained
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!
