Widowspeak - Gun Shy (Live on KEXP) 

I've been obsessed with this song lately, came for the moody dreamy ethereal vocals and catchy guitar line, stayed for the lyrics that cut deep.

I still can't stop listening a year later.

What you were, what it was You were fixing to get lost I tried to tame you, it wasn't long 'til you were takin' off Lightly, I was on your mind Lonely on the road at night You're still a wild one, but what is it you're running from? All scared, like you're staring down the barrel of the gun No pistol could get you, no rifle could shoot fast enough Some try to love you, but it's never long before you shake 'em off Lightly, I was on your mind Lonely on the road at night Lights so low and glare in your eyes Jump the gun and you were too shy Lightly, I was on your mind Lonely on the road at night Lights so low and glare in your eyes Jump the gun and you were too shy

I don't know how many I've already watched this video. Can't get enough. Such an awesome song.

I saw them live last night, she sings so lovely and passionately. i loved them

Wow! So good, and I like the way they sound, bassist not needed.

A little bit like mazzy star. Sounds great to me!

it was a pleasure playing with you at the crocodile in seattle on thursday! your music is beautiful :) -rob. piano piano.

This album is now 10 yeas old 😭😭😭

I love this band

This is a great live recording. It's sounds so good, it's almost like she's lip sinking.

that's the type of music style she sings, it leaves room for imagination, a duality of meaning. Like poetry, its set in words but the meaning differs from person to person, I think its the same with this song, uncertainty is a part of life, hence a good musician incorporates that in my opinion

I just woke up to KEXP playing Widowspeak (Gabe Beeson's night show). sweet.

A long time ago live music sounded like this. Like, before Google.

They are from Brooklyn, New York but have formed a decent following in the Vancouver BC/ Seattle US area; when they played in sea-town a couple of years ago I knew nothing of them, so I imagine NYC area mostly, nice sounds eh :)

That's part of the trip

I was at this show! Rad.

cool

where do these guys play?? in general

@TwistedSpeech you're right on that my friend! =)

2020 crew ?

imsoinlove brb dying

I want to personally track the 4 thumbs down and find out what they were thinking...but the music is just too dreamy to care. Their personalities are just as captivating as the music they play-such inviting and kind people, really.

Musically I really like this band and I like the singers voice. I think she just needs to sing clearer because I never know what she is saying I dunno is it just me?

Seriously, when I saw them live, some people were texting with their "i-Craps" in the middle of such a wonderful performance! Show some respect.

🚶

It's not just you. I have no idea what is she singing about, but I don't care much about the lyrics anyway.

This was a great performance, maybe the vocals were a little too loud to be able to enjoy the rest of the music.

Could just be a shite PA system
