Austra Live at Scheune Dresden: "Darken Her Horse"

Austra Live at Scheune Dresden: Darken Her Horse

A song with a dark but also hopeful message: a girl is overpowered by the darkness of the world, with nothing to defend herself but her bare hands ("Shoot into the darkness with your hands.") She is very nearly on her "pathway to the end", until someone notices her and boosts her confidence because "it's worth it to stay." After all, "the moon isn't far", so amidst all this overwhelming darkness there is light. Austra are an indie-tronic band from Toronto, Canada. They consist of singer Katie Stelmanis, drummer Maya Postepski and bassist Dorian Wolf. On live shows they are supported by Ryan Wonsiak and the twin sisters Sari and Romy Lightman, who have an own band called Tasseomancy. DARKEN HER HORSE RIDE HER DARKEN HORSE HER TEMPERS LIE UNTOLD IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME. A CUSTOMARY TREND THE COURSE IS LAID TO PLAY I NOTICED IT'S THERE, I NOTICED. SHOOT INTO THE DARKNESS WITH YOUR HANDS. RIDE HER DARKENED HORSE HER TEMPERS LIE UNTOLD IT'S ALL INSANE A MONSTER FOR A FRIEND A LIAR T! O DEFEND I NOTICED IT'S THERE. HOLD HER BY THE REINS, THE MOON ISN'T FAR HOLD HER BY THE REINS, IT'S WORTH IT TO STAY NOTHING STABLE, NOTHING PATIENT HERE. RIDE HER DARKENED HORSE THE PATHWAY TO THE END SHE'S ALL ALONE HER TRUST WAS NEVER THERE IT'S YOURS SHE NEEDS TO HEAR I NOTICED IT'S THERE.
