about

This song was basically just the transcription of a dream. I had a dream and I wrote it down and it became this song.

lyrics

The Wedding was not the main event, but her family was there,
Her sister wore a party dress, you shoulda seen her hair.
They all stood at the alter, there was no priest in sight.
Their mother was the master, of the ceremonial night.
Ooh...

At the stadium around the block, the crowds were standing by,
The white and silver shimmering, in the incandescent sky.
And I cannot get it off my mind, what happened at the church,
Her mother took my by the hand, and left me in the lurch.
Ooh...

She promised me she’s read my palm, it wouldn’t take that long,
She said it at the altar, in the middle of a song.
And I’ll tell you things you wanna hear, even if they aren’t true,
And I’ll make you break a habit, if it’s the last thing that I do.
Ooh...

about

Katie Mullins Brooklyn, New York

On Katie Mullins’ third release, Three Songs, the magic of threes is in full effect: a brew of her signature haunting vocals taken to another level, with glowing overdubbed choruses that seem to weave witchery, and the charisma of unassuming candor.
