J Tillman gives me all sorts of late-night shivers
This song feels like true religion and creeping sadness in the middle of beauty, and a quiet night on a patterned bedspread.
I got real authentic goosebumps the first time I listened to it tonight and have been stuck on repeat.
Earthly Bodies – J Tillman
Let me lie across your christened spine
press my bare leg to the mountainside
glorious our earthly bodies rise
…fall and rise
The wineskin and my eyes are dry
though the spirit and the truth abide
when you stir throughout the wakeless night
…stir and sigh
J Tillman is a Fleet Fox, and he is from Vashon Island in Washington. J Tillman has an album coming soon, his sixth, called Year In The Kingdom (Sept 22, Western Vinyl). I think you should get it.
