Love Leaves Its Abusers
Songs: Ohia · Other Songs - Songs: Ohia
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.
