Crooked Fingers: Sleep All Summer

Sometime last week, as I was listening to one song by Sasha Alex Sloan repeatedly, I ended up on a custom playlist and discovered Crooked Fingers.

In particular, this song is what caught my ear:

The opening lines sound very much like a lullaby, which is what drew me in initially. But the more I listened, the more I started to hear the words. And really enjoy the lyrics:

The line that keeps coming back for me is “Why won’t you fall back in love with me,” which I just really like.

// Edit: Discovered a lot of other musicians have since covered this song. Notably: The National and St. Vincent, as well as Neko Case.
