Last month Sari Lightman of Tasseomancy and Lightman & Lightman made her solo debut with "The Way I Saw You." The lead single serves as the magical title track of her forthcoming album, which is produced by Meg Duffy. Now the Canadian indie musician is unveiling another beautiful preview with "Give It All Up."
"I originally wrote this song for Lightman & Lightman's Sister Smile, absorbed in the spiritual themes of feminine mysticism," she explains, continuing:
"Give It All Up" is a posthumous interview between two contemporary female mystics, the singing nun, Jeanine Deckers and the Jewish diarist, Etty Hillesum. The song is conversational: The leading line asking the question, the second line responding. This is a supernatural interview and naturally, the responses are ominous and prophetic. Meg Duffy, my beloved friend/producer/guitarist of the track, suggested a stripped down version and it lent for a more meditative feeling. Also, I've always wanted to pull a Neil Young and pay homage to the self with a personal cover.
