Holy, Holy 07:35
Holy, holy I Repeat As I clutch the fetish to my chest I count the beads running through my fingers (bridge) Mercy, mercy I say aloud You know I've done my best To keep from running aground As I stare at this Monolith And everything before it As I stare at this Monolith Can I add to it? Can I add to it? Holy, holy The words hold meaning They reveal quietly Or maybe not at all Words, words, words That's all I have My only offering To keep it whole As I stare at this Monolith And everything Before it As I stare at this Monolith Can I add to it? Can I add to it? Holy holy I repeat Monastic chanting Measured breathing Words words words That’s all I have Something sincere Something whole As I stare at this Monolith And everything Before it As I stare at this Monolith Can I add to it? Can I add to it? As I stare at this Monolith Can I add to it? Can I add to it? Can I add to it? Can I add to it?

Little sister What did you find? Was it America's No place to hide? Little sister Where did you go? Did you find a new place To call home? Cannot find you Where'd you go? Cannot find you Where'd you go? Single mother With two jobs Nothing's been stolen but you know You're being robbed Single mother There is no win Trying to run is hard When no one will take you in Cannot find you Where'd you go? Cannot find you Where'd you go? Oh my brother What have you done? Have you torn apart Everyone? Oh my brother How could we not know? Now it's time for us to Reap what we sow Cannot find you Where'd you go? Cannot find you Where'd you go?

about

NEOS13

"Holy, Holy" and "Little Sister" were songs Nick wrote at the end of writing Of House's first album, "Feelings," that he didn't think fit in with that song cycle. As he kept writing songs, and it became clear that a second album was emerging, "Holy, Holy" and "Little Sister" began representing a bridge of what Of House was and what it was becoming. The Shoegaze and Dream Pop influences became more fleshed out. The electronic drums became more hard hitting. The guitars are dreamier and more full. The keys beef up the songs and float hooks over everything. These songs are also the first ones that feature Pat Nolan and Blake Hart as members of Of House. "Of House will always be somewhat of a solitary outlet for me," said Nick, "but I know Pat and Blake will always bring my songs to the next level." You can hear it in the hook Blake plays in the chorus of "Little Sister" and in Pat's incendiary leads on "Holy, Holy." Both songs hit on familiar lyrical Of House themes, the personal and the political. "Holy, Holy" touches on how every time we create something it is added to the pantheon of art and how that thought can be intimidating, but it's important to press forward. The wall of sound in "Little Sister" is meant to reflect the frustration we feel at the state of the world, while the lyrics touch on how we can help the downtrodden and how we need to reflect on how we got here so we can create positive change.
