Love Leaves Its Abusers

Songs: Ohia · Other Songs - Songs: Ohia

You must have heard

That voice loud and plain

Through all the thunder I surrounded you in

And I once had cause



And I once had strength

But I have been selfish

To say the least

I owned up to it



Though leaving is a curious way

For you to love me

So my life and my whole waiting guilt

I enclose late with my dues to you



Love leaves its abusers

Love leaves its abusers

Love leaves its abusers

Love leaves its abusers

Love

Love Leaves Its Abusers

Love Leaves Its Abusers stands as a poignant song in the discography of Songs: Ohia, the project led by the late Phil Elverum. Known for blending indie folk with elements of lo-fi and experimental rock, the band often explored themes of isolation, nature, and emotional fragility. This track reflects the introspective and melancholic atmosphere characteristic of their early recordings. While the song appears alongside other works from the same period, it captures the raw, unpolished sound that defined much of Elverum's initial output. The recording contributes to a broader body of work that emphasizes lyrical depth and atmospheric production, inviting listeners into a world of quiet contemplation and personal narrative. Songs: Ohia's music remains a significant touchstone for fans of intimate, emotionally resonant songwriting.
