Evangeline - Lyrics - Edith Frost

Edith Frost is an American singer-songwriter who describes her music as "pensive countrified psychedelia". Born in San Antonio, Texas, Frost moved to Brooklyn in 1990 where she played in the country bands the Holler Sisters, the Marfa Lights and Edith and Her Roadhouse Romeos. In 1996 she moved to Chicago after signing to the city's Drag City label, which released her demo as a self-titled EP. Debut album Calling Over Time was released in 1997, and has been followed by Telescopic , Wonder Wonder and It's a Game . All were produced by Rian Murphy except Telescopic, which was produced by Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema from the band Royal Trux; Wonder Wonder was engineered by Steve Albini. Frost relocated to the San Francisco Bay area in 2006.

( Edith Frost EP ) Pan down to Evangeline The bluest eyes you ever saw Standing in the bluish air She rests her hand on the pedestal Mmmmâ€¦ gather in her courage Evangeline sings to the gods above Sings to the stars And all of the strangers Turn into angels Evangeline sings in the bluish air Sings to the stars With the bluest feathers Falling around her Mmmmâ€¦ gather in her courage She walks into the bluish light She looks at all the people She scans their faces one by one Standing in the strangest crowd She scans their faces one by one Ever aware of the possible She sees it laid out one by one Mmmmâ€¦ gather in her courage Evangeline sings to the gods above Sings to the stars And all of the strangers Turn into angels Evangeline sings in the bluish air Sings to the stars With the bluest feathers Falling around her
