Touring next month with the wonderful Dana Gavanski (what a combo), Cornelia Murr should definitely be on your radar. Raised in London but living in California, Murr “often sounds like she could be transmitting from some inter-dimensional sock hop for the Twin Peaks Roadhouse, conjuring a hazy blend of fantasia folk and cosmic soul”.
All Souls, also our Song of the Day, is drenched in sparkles of omnichord, swathes of mellotron, and the plucked delicacies of electric and nylon guitar.
Murr divulges “‘All Souls’ is about how love expands and enriches us even when it’s not returned. It’s about how grief can turn ecstatic as it connects us to the whole, showing us who or what we love in everyone and everything, reminding us we’re made of the same love we wish to receive. It’s about how our capacity to feel, even in grief, is a super power.”

All Souls Lyrics
I love you even if you don’t believe me
Even if you don’t love me too
I got the most beautiful feeling for you
I carry it with me everywhere I go
The fat angels are singing
Even if you don’t hear em at all
At all
I’m the lone poppy blooming out of season
Brightest against all reason
Winter’s coming and you’re moving on
While my love is blooming and I’m
Gonna let it grow
Today the anchor released
All souls rejoicing
Lifting up out of the sea
When I’m free I see you and me
In all souls
No need to rise
for this offering of mine
It’s here either way
I’m remembering
It costs me nothing
To give it all away
Today I awoke breathing
in a new capacity
You inspired
Brought me to my knees
My love it animates everything
It animates everything
In all souls
