god's country ethel's world

I don’t care what anyone says. The kids are still making beautiful music. And this is as beautiful as being young has always been.

Your music is helping me through my moms cancer journey, losing my faith in God, a broken abusive engagement, late aspergers diagnosis and so much more. It's been a hell of a couple years for me. Thank you for creating music that helps me release that pain i've been holding for far too long.

In the 80s we had the Cocteau Twins. I’m glad lush beauty carries on. Thank you Ethel Cain

I overdosed to this song last month. Now here I am laying down on my balcony detoxing to it. Day 2 I feel terrible but I made a full circle it seems

Growing up broke in the south, in the nineties no less, this song feels like it's talking directly to me sometimes. Hell of a feeling.

Few artists come out the gate with their image and aesthetic so fully formed. This feels like she's been at this for a decade or more already.

I love that her songs are just whatever length they need to be; we get to experience a whole journey she's leading us gently through with her music

Anyone else feel like they were born to listen to this song

U can't take the church out of the person no matter how hard u try. I am an exmormon and I miss the church every day. Not the beliefs but the community the music. I grew with catholic relatives and that's also apart of me even if I don't like. Ethel Cain thank you for singing about the experiences of us church queers who left it but still think back fondly on it

"I'm from Florida.. bitch" is the funniest thing I've heard all damn day holy shit

Lyrics The road is longer than it is hard With no one to guide you And no one to hold No best foot forward to sway the odds Just a voice inside you And a stone to throw Could you be someone else If someone else is what I need But I shouldn't ask that of you When you are old you will understand But we are hurting now So what are we to do 'til then? Cradling pictures of you It was a highway to nowhere, and we rode it Cold car with no gas and we chose it Soft bodies playing in the street Our kids will grow up with half as much Trying to build something out of dust Finding out too late what they need You have tasted love and it tasted sweet You drank the blood and bit the meat You hold it, you hold it, you let it go You close your eyes and count to three You say the word and come to me And baby I know Drive the pathway through the pines And the moors of mystery Welcome conflict and let the crisis come And shake the ground beneath And the family secret hiding In the farmhouse down the street Rushes open door on your front porch and shadow me Taken and entirely, I embrace the bonny beast Over hills and highlands we rode hard, the passing peaks Danger liked the virgin wife, beside me she would sleep Cherry was her dad's truck that she crashed at seventeen I kneel before what temper broke the branches on the beach And those thrilling highs and southern nights are always out of reach I learned a lesson I need to pray and hard Final hours take care of me, God (take care of me God) You have tasted love and it tasted sweet You drank the blood and bit the meat You hold it, you hold it, you let it go You close your eyes and count to three You say the word and come to me And baby I know The road is longer than it is hard (love overwhelms me) With no one to guide you (it's all that I want, and it's all that we have) No best foot forward to sway the odds (but is it enough) Just a voice inside you (to make it worth it in the end) Don't sink in me with your dog teeth Don't sink in me with your dog teeth Don't sink in me with your dog teeth Don't sink in me Don't sink in me with your dog teeth You've tasted love and it tasted sweet You drank the blood and bit the meat You hold it, you hold it, but you'll never know You close your eyes and cry to me Don't sink in me with your dog teeth We're better off if you let go If it was harder then It will be better now For I am here and changed I couldn't tell you how There before the grace of God go I laughing to myself Forgetting what about

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

Man....Ethel's/Hayden's fashion choices are just super interesting and beautiful. I mean, her entire aesthetic is....it's all so visually rich and captivating. I love that I'm a straight cis guy in my 30s finding fashion inspiration from a 20s trans woman with face tattoos. lol....I love the modern world. Seriously. It's genuinely wonderful how diverse and beautiful people are and how we finally live in a world where all sorts of voices and perspectives can now be seen for how deeply interesting they are. As a 38 year old....I'm kinda jealous of how limitless the younger generation is. They unshackled themselves in a way my generation didn't at their age. And now I'm learning how to do that more myself....from them. Anyway....I'm rambling. I just think Hayden(Ethel) is a perfect example of why baby boomers need to stfu when whining about younger kids and stereotyping them based on what Tucker Carlson told them. Gah....I'm ranting now. Bye. :P

I found you over a year ago during some of my crazy drinking nights. I'm 53 but think I"m 24 still living in America in the 80s ;) I haven't gotten drunk in almost a year now. I found your channel again by accident tonight. Your videos remind me the 80s growing up. The haunting, nostalgic music is awesome! .....the homemade nostalgic videos were the other half! ....never forget that. :) Don't let the evil corporations do bland green screen sterile music videos! Happy 2023.

I love Wicca phase, how have I never heard of Ethel until now. Literally minutes ago I heard “Crush” and now I’m hooked!

wicca phase honestly is a musical genius if we bein fr

Artists like this still exist?

Shocked this doesn't have even more views at this point, actual masterpiece

Your music was specifically inspired by the Deep South, but as a young trans man raised in a Catholic school in the middle of the french countryside, I can relate to it in every way possible. Thank you Hayden for putting it into notes. also the fact that we're birthday twins is the cherry on the cake.

This makes me realize just how much of my youth I wasted. So much talent and creativity. Exciting to see someone so young have the ability and the empathy to put this out to the universe. I can't stop listening. Makes me happy and sad at the same time.....

This song is hauntingly achingly beautiful. And the visuals perfectly capture the innefible feeling it conjurs in me. I only discovered Ethel Cain like 5 days ago, and I'm so so grateful. What a gem of a discovery.....

I’m a Christian and constantly doubting my religion and then not and then doubting yet again. Thanks for this. 🙏

I played this 2 days ago for my dying grandfather. This was the last song he heard. His only words for the past 4 days were I love you. I can still hear it. I hear the aging in his voice flashing in my head all the almost 27 years I have been alive. I love you baby, forever💔 my papaw passed away last night. I will miss him up until my last breath

talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

Ethel Cain hits a specific niche for gay preacher's kids with severe religious trauma.

COULD YOU BE SOMEONE ELSE IF SOMEONE ELSE IS WHAT I NEED???? PLS I CANT

as someone that grew up taking road trips to see family, this means so much and captures it perfectly

This video just makes me want to go on long road trips to random places and have fun with the friends I don't have 😢

I moved to Southern Virginia around the time I was pubescent. A lot of my memories there were very rough because I had to adjust to a southern town as a brown kid. But years later I moved out of that place. This song is genuinely healing because it turns the shitty memories of my past into good ones. Love you so much Ethel Cain keep up the work ❤

Wiccas voice and lyrics makes me drift off to another dimension.

Your spirit knows it's way. And I feel your spirit speaking to mine. Get it girl. Cuz you got this.

Ethel is so haunting. She has created her own genre

rly high and watching this w noise canceling headphones. i think this is the greatest song of all time

This is getting me through one of the worst moments of my life. I never knew music could mend my soul the way yours does. Every song makes me feel like you are healing pain you never caused, and I’m grateful for your music. I was going to see you at Lolla this year, but I don’t think I’m strong enough to be in such a large crowd with my mental disorder making me reclusive.

Most beautiful music video I’ve seen in a very long time

This is the music video ever

this made me cry and consider whether life is worth living if it isn’t beautiful. thank you miss ethel and miss edith. cheers to the art life.

could you be someone else if someone else was what i need?… but i shouldn’t ask that of you. and this shit just gets better from there. banger

I was raised in a very unfortunate family and this makes me feel home in a way I never felt before ❤

I’ve been a Wicca Phase fan for years, I’ve recently discovered Ethal. I found out they made a song together, I then melted in happiness.

I didnt know i needed your music until now. It found me.

this is epic

i've never even been to the us but something just moves me to tears i'm not sure what it is... maybe being so much *from somewhere*, being so anchored in that culture and connecting so much with its past, that's a feeling i never really knew and it's beautiful

Wicca is so good in this

this a whole feature film

Wicca snaps always. First time hearing ethal cain... I'm impressed over all

You keep saving me every time I come back to this song.

ever since I heard one song on spotify and decided to listen to the album, it's like it's playing in my head 24/7 now... I am so completely enchanted! this touches my heart, and moves me in ways I can't even express

We all need much more of this!

Wow. Ive heard of Ethel Cane, but tonight is the first ive heard a song. This is an amazing lyrical, musical genius. The words are so real. I feel her American girl vibe hard. Im 59 😂❤

Phenomenal, best song of the year

Listening to WPSE playlist and this came up and I went through all of Ethel Cain's music on KZfaq that is on their channel and a few bonus ones and I honestly like or love every track. It hits nearly everything I want to hear in a song(s) so thank you and please keep up the good work. Please come to Chicagoland area sometime!

I love when KZfaq just has amazing songs randomly start playing on my playlist I never heard or artist. Sounds dope af!

this is so insanely beautiful

This is amazing!! One of my favorite songs on Inbred. Also, love the cameo by Jack.

need more music with wicca. You both fit together so well it's crazy.

Such a beautiful journey, thank u so much!

What an amazing artist, can't put it into words how good this is

all of the songs I've listened to so far just feel so honest, and authentic. it's exactly what I want music to be, what I want life to be

Ethereally present, gorgeous, trippy musical "docureality". I love your work.

I discovered your music recently and it has already helped me so much. You remind me of Grouper a bit -- there is this eerie softness to both of you. Thank you for sharing your music with the world. It's very much needed.

Hi! I stumbled upon Crush three days ago and I have been playing your music on loop since. This trak is my absolute favorite and it's giving me much needed strength. Thank you so much for sharing you talents with the world, you are making a huge difference

I literally can not stop listening to all your music. I just discovered you after your calibration with Florence on Morning Elvis. Absolutely in love!

Nostalgic, heavenly, carefree and everything I remembered back in the day. Ethel, thanks for this!

this song came on my spotify discover somehow and I was totally moved by it. so fresh, so beautiful and authentic. been playing it for almost 6 months now.

This is perfection and makes me feel whole.

My new music discovery. Loving this!

Such a beautiful music video, gives me the feels

Wicca is undeniably the coolest guy on earth

There are things in this world I don’t understand but hearing this song gives me a sense of grounding, a understanding of sorts-Thank you for sharing cause it means a lot to me.🙏🏾

Wonderous and spiritual presentation. You could teach the angels to sing Ethel. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

it should be illegal for an ad to pop up in the middle of a music video, disrupts the vibe fr

Every once in a while I thank youtube for inserting something new into my playlist.....

What a song. And the video, with the locations and the people. It's so real. I've driven through most of those places, (WITH most of those people). I get a bit emotional watching this. I smile alot, and hold back tears a few times, too. Its so beautiful. A lot of people watching this may not understand just how beautiful this really is. I do, though. Thank you, Hayden.

One of my favorite songs from Ethel, tbh. I listen to it constantly

beautiful and sincere. Thanks y'all

Honestly top 3 songs of the year, and wicca gave the best feature ive heard in sooo long

I want to share this beauty with everyone. Wonderful song

this is literally one of the most beautiful things I've ever watched and I really mean it

I’m adding this hippie child to my favourites

Wicca and Ethel are a pairing that goes so good together hope to see more projects between you two🔥🔥

you’re fucking jokingggg this is so good. the filming and editing is just immaculate. got some sort of feeling in me at 6:56 where you throw your arms up right in time with that vocalization. You’re an amazing artist, musically as well as visually. You’ve really got something special.

This song hurts so good

absolutely amazing, it felt like a short film

God I love your music! I seriously can’t get enough

hauntingly beautiful, it truly touches the spirit, thank you so much for the music and video🦋

This Song Is Wonderfull. Great Artist

This song is so incredibly beautiful. The video feels like it was found in someone’s old camcorder. Well written, we’ll performed, great video work, directing, editing. All of it. Fucking art

Beautiful in all kinds of ways

Big love to you Ethel from the S4LEM cult 🖤🤎🖤

I really enjoy listening to this song without watching the video but doing so miss the warm lovely smile of the young lady who accompanies Hayden on the road trip.

such an incredible collaboration

i love you, congrats on this incredible video release. your talent is unmatched. so so so so proud of you. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 you’re going to to be doing the most amazing things with your talent 💗

simply beautiful

I haven't found a songwriter who can capture a moment in time quite like she can, this is just fantastic.

Ethel Cain has no idea how much I want to thank KZfaq for this recommendation! Subscribed after first song🍭

i randomly found this in youtube recommend and immediately subbed and shoutout Wicca

i have listen to this song now 100 times today and im not even kidding

very calming and chill. really good song
