about

The bulk of the songs on this album come from the very early phases of marriage and motherhood. One of the themes is the disorienting feeling of stumbling into the new, all-consuming identity of a domestic person. So much tiredness, so many endless piles of mundane tasks and minutiae and time standing still, but also, like, technicolored joy. Feeling at once incredibly stuck and incredibly love-struck. Feet, like several other songs on the album, is both a celebration of this moment, a mom-pop ode to Robyn and the 90’s dance music we love, and a fantasy of escape to a more familiar version of ourselves. -Amelia

lyrics

Feet Are Dirty

Our feet are dirty
And the sheets are clean
We’re stuck in between boy
Yeah we’re stuck in between

The air is heavy
And your teeth are clean
Where have you been boy
Darlin where have you been

It’s time we burn the olive tree
It’s time we burned it
Again is in the air today
I think we’ve turned it

I wanna be free…

Our hands are dirty
And the dogwood’s green
I’m cutting ya clean boy
Yeah I’m cutting you clean

I wanna be free…

It’s time we burn the olive tree
It’s time we burned it
Ash is in the air today
I think we’ve earned it
