Your Eyes Were Like A Living Fire


Lower Dens “Non Grata”

The gender identity in this song is so fluid it’s hard to get a read on who is saying what to whom and when, but I think that’s basically the point. We all have something primal and dominant in us somewhere, and it’s more about a feeling of NEED than traditional binary structures of identity. This is a very romantic song in spite of itself – the sound of it is very seductive, and Jana Hunter’s vocal performance strikes this wonderful balance of confidence and vulnerability, especially as she sings “I trust you, I believe you” in the chorus. In context, she’s trying to convince someone to do what she wants, but that doesn’t make the sentiment untrue.

Buy it from Amazon.
