MOVE YOUR HEART LYRICS FULL
And then I’ll Sing was more like, “I’m gonna get a full band, and I’m gonna make these arrangements in this very structured, four-piece rock band.” And I explored that, and I love that record and love those songs but I found that it didn’t reflect what was in my heart and what I wanted to make. It felt like this open-world map in that I could do anything without having any preconceived thoughts about the music, and that felt great and I’m really proud of that record even though it was five years ago now, I still love those songs. Shannen Moser: Just looking back on the timeline of these records - Oh, My Heart was my first record I ever made that wasn’t just a Garageband-computer-microphone record, and I feel like that record is special in that there wasn’t a lot of intentionality, I just wanted to make a record and no one was listening then. Thomas Hagen: To you, what are the important differences between your new album The Sun Still Seems To Move and your previous two, I’ll Sing and Oh, My Heart ? Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity. Last week, I spoke with Shannen Moser on the phone about how this whole process felt, and how their new album feels now. Taking their time to build a soundscape that felt true to their story, Moser constructed the record slower than any of their previous work, across different sessions in different cities, with different crews, keeping close to the joy in tight corners between overwork and emotional exhaustion, finally completing their proudest work yet. Emotionally, the album gets brutal as they carry all these challenges at once on their voice, always forward even at a whisper, but roaring-fierce on songs like “Two Eyes.” Overwhelming, overlapping feelings of pain and freedom clang like bells at the autumn album’s astonishing peaks.Īccording to Moser, this music was a joy to record over the last two years with their longtime engineer Alex Melendez and their whole crew of longtime friends who supplied strings, clarinet, slide guitar. The Sun Still Seems To Move, out today, is a record of Moser’s last four years living between Philadelphia and Berks County, PA while caring for their family, confronting their hometown, remembering good friends and moving the past into the past.
Shannen Moser’s most disarming songs deal with acute feelings and fraught experiences over and over again - dread, heartbreak, longing, reconciliation - and their new album bares all those feelings more tenderly than ever.
