Fenne Lily releases Big Picture on April 14th.
Fenne Lily‘s new single Dawncolored Horse was inspired by the Richard Brautigan poem The Horse That Had A Flat Tire.
“Brautigan talks about the woman he loves as being a ‘breathing castle’,” Lily said. “I truly don’t know what that means, but for me he’s distilled a feeling of absolute closeness. When you know someone so well it feels like you’re almost living inside them.”
“A lot of the music I was listening to while I was writing seemed to be old kind of country stuff; the album Anymore For Anymore by Ronnie Lane and Slim Change was a big one (‘hear Roll On Babe from ’74’) — anything that sounded warm and comfortable, just people in a room playing what came most naturally.”
“When I brought this song to the band it easily fell into that sort of world — it felt stable, which is cool for a song that came from a place of total instability.”
