Here’s Emily Fairlight performing “Body Below”, the opening track from her album “Mother of Gloom”, accompanied by Mike McLeod of The Shifting Sands, on Radio 13. “Mother of Gloom” is released on Fishrider Records in NZ/ Australia in April and on Occultation Recordings in the UK/ Europe in June.
Mirah — Body Below
KEEP HOLDING / ONTO MY BODY BELOW
FORSAKE ME NOT (DON’T EVER LEAVE ME ALONE)
(beautiful, but that’s not the point.)
But what starts with desire Can turn into need The chest gets all tight Like it's got some disease -- What burns in the fire Just ends up as coals What floats on the water Can sink like a stone
-Body Below, Mirah
what burns in the fire just ends up as coals
i hated you because you could keep quiet when i couldn't, and the careful nature you held onto until the precise & perfect moment. it was all i could do not to explode but i was still fire and spread slow, slick & smooth beneath your skin and i kept my tongue still firmly in my mouth not letting anything escape save for tiny breaths that i was sure weren't enough to keep my lungs satisfied and the fire spread until i was wildfire and my bones were kindling and you just sat there keeping quiet while i burned alive. wondering when you would ever speak.

there's a story I could tell when the cold wind starts to blow, like a whisper in the night from a friend that you know. it says, "keep holding on to my body below, forsake me not, don't ever leave me alone."
