the amazing devil
I'm running, I'm crying. I'm shouting at the sky. My mascara is running down my face. I'm in love. I hate you. I've never loved anyone. I will never feel this way again. I can't escape how I feel. I want so much. I want nothing. I feel so alone. I have you and I'll never let you go. You're the worst and you make me laugh everyday. I want to devour the world. I'm so human. I'm more than any human could ever be. I'm your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your hunger, your love. I'm the sun coming through the window when you sleep in too late. I'm the dirty dishes left in the sink. I'm the eggs that you burned trying to make breakfast. I'm the sound of rain on the pavement. The smell of ashes. The taste of your lips. I'm the feeling in your chest when you think of them. I'm lost. I'm found. I've never felt seen like I have with you. I don't think anyone will ever understand me. I'm terrified. I'm so fucking alive.
I love how the amazing devil writes these incredibly beautiful and complex lyrics that make you cry but then also have lines like
"Yeah we thought you were mental YOU WERE TALKING TO TREES"
And "could be ghosts or monsters or a robot vampire- i dont know!"
I hope you’re doing fine.
when u listen to an entire album from start to finish it becomes part of your bone structure btw
The Amazing Devil
This is a faerily reminder that Joey Batey (aka Jaskier in The Witcher series) has a powerful alt-folk band called The Amazing Devil with Madeleine Hyland, one of the most beautiful voices out there. Their lyrics and music are simply magical and breathtaking.
They have three albums that you can listen to on Spotify and iTunes and if you like their music you can buy those albums digitally on Bandcamp. https://theamazingdevil.bandcamp.com
Love Run (2016) The Horror and the Wild (2020) and Ruin (2021).
They have only released one music video with a song from their first album Love Run, called “King”

But you can enjoy a beautiful session of some songs from their first album accompanied by their talented musicians and friends.

We are lucky to be able to hear them in their “natural habitat” during a beautiful and powerful session in the woods performing some songs from their second album The Horror and The Wild once again accompanied by their friends.

So I invite you to give them a chance, you will not regret it.
Listening to the amazing devil really just feels like your soul is being ripped open and laid bare for everyone to see
I'm gonna be SO annoying about the new TAD album. You can't even phantom how unbearable im gonna be. I do not apologize for the person I'm going to become.

parallels between marbles and little miss why so
"without you i’m stronger, i’m no longer filled with wonder, how wrong you were" hidden behind the lines in welly boots and "why wont you fight for me?" hidden behind the lyrics in pray. something about them matches
Listening to the calling by the amazing devil is like breathing for the first time
not to go on about not yet/love run again but can you believe the lyrics "let foul men band and heed your hum for that ancient hymm you heard me strumming? is nought but fumble-falls and guns and tumbleweeds, love run. it's nought that rum won't solve though some would harm you none - not one - no none would raise to you a hand or thumb, not while by you i stand and hum" and "everyone knows sex is better when you're unemployed" ARE THE SAME FUCKING SONG
i am short circuiting at the thought of tad releasing an album in the next couple months holy SHIT. restrain me please or i might tear a pillow apart with my teeth
THEY SAID IT ALL COMES DOWN TO YOU YOU’RE THE DAUGHTER OF SILENT WATCHING STONES YOU WATCH THE STARS HURL ALL THEIR FUNDAMENTS IN WONDERMENT AT YOU AND YOURS FOREVER ASKING MORE YOU ARE THAT SPACE THAT’S IN BETWEEN EVERY PAGE EVERY CHORD AND EVERY SCREEN YOU ARE THE DRIFTWOOD AND THE RIFT YOU’RE THE WORDS I PROMISE I DON’T MEAN
