about

Bittersweet first appeared on The Beggar Heart in 2007. As we wound down the 2019 tour, Stephen and I played in Portland, just the two of us, something we hadn't done for a good while. It was nerve wracking. We decided to try somethings we'd never done and Bittersweet surfaced as something that might follow Tears in Things, as it does here on this recording. A very different version than the 2007, it had in mind the players that were to have been on the road with us in 2020.

lyrics

Beneath the truth lies the bones
Of a truth more complete
And I’ll bet everything I own
It’s a truth that’s bittersweet.

Beneath the waves of pleasure
And the tangled sheets
It all comes together
Still it’s all bittersweet.

Here’s to the highs
And here’s to the lows
The human heart endures
And so it goes.

The thorny crown.
The Judas kiss.
The final prayer on the martyr’s lips.

Here’s to the highs
And here’s to the lows
The human heart endures
And so it goes.
