about

A tale of Perséphone, queen of the underworld, conflated with Jolene and the red-haired boy

lyrics

Je suis encore avec un autre homme
Je suis encore l'autre femme
Je pense a une chanson d'une femme rousse
qui vole les hommes avec sa chanson douce

Elle est la reine de la sous-terraine
Elle se couche mais elle ne peut pas dormir
C'est bien de sentir l'intrigue d'un étranger
Il n'y a pas une chose qui va pas jamais changer

C'est pas de sa faute il a menti des mensonges
La vérité est un art pour les maitres
Grandir et retrecir est un cycle infini
L'espace et le temps ne sont pas linéaire

Lyrics translated:

“Persephone the Red-haired Girl”

I am once again with another man
I am once again “the other woman”
I think of a song about a red-haired woman
Who steals men with her sweet song

She is the queen of the underworld
She goes to bed but she cannot sleep
It’s fine to feel a stranger’s intrigue
There is not one thing that will never change

It’s not his fault he lied lies
The Truth is an art for the masters
To grow and to shrink is an infinite cycle
Space and time are not linear

Milly Raccoon Nashville, Tennessee

Trained by campfires and tavern jams all over the world, Milly Raccoon’s eccentric and poignant lyrics mix with musical stylings that seem to have travelled out of the past, emulating classic country, early jazz, and other antiquated Americana. There is a connecting thread of spirituality, healing and liberation weaving through her work.
