They say the trees beyond the wall become jeweled by clear pearls of ice, and that the High Kith drink bitter hot chocolate at outdoor parties where their laughter is white lace in the chilled air. People say teardrops of hail spangle the pink-sand beaches outside the city. But every now and then a wind blows from the west that freezes everyone’s bones, Half Kith and High Kith and Middling alike. Ethin-a pretty name for a city, and this city was pretty for the right sort of people-is usually warm, so warm that tiny purple indi flowers grow out of the cracks of crumbling walls.

After a sparse opening verse, the arrangement builds slowly and persistently. In 2018, singer/songwriter Lucy Dacus kicked off her second album Historian with “Night Shift,” an epic, 6-minute breakup song. ![]() ![]() Warning: Hot cowboys meet hot cowgirl, and there's a whole lotta shakin' goin' on in Temptation.
