Other People's Houses

from Color by Rachel Mousie

about

this song was inspired by literally sleeping in other people's houses. also the idea that the path seemingly laid before you can change, even if some people assume it's all wrapped up.

lyrics

no wheels left
it's looking permanent, permanent now
high bridges and low standards
moving fast as modern legs allow

stay up late in other people's houses
make some plans and blame it on our vices
settled on an answer
i can fight this

lights for some to see
spending days around one time around
one short trip back in time
in time to

stay up late in other people's houses
make some plans and blame it on our vices
settled on an answer
i can fight this

feels like rain and some hard truth
so, don't-don't-don't kill the one
holding the envelope in her steady hands

stay up late in other people's houses
make some plans and blame it on our vices
settled on an answer
i will fight this

about

Rachel Mousie Cincinnati, Ohio

I like to sing and write songs. I play the keys and use a looping station to create live harmonies and hand percussion rhythms. Sometimes when I'm practicing my cat sits on my lap and gives me feedback in the form of cat sounds. Once I find a way to incorporate that I'll have it all figured out.

I aim to make you feel something, whatever that may be. I hope I am successful :)
