Tune Tuesday

Phosphorescent has a haunting quality to it. The first time I heard his music I was on the verge of tears because of the sadness that reverberates through it. Some of his lyrics can be slightly uncomfortable but that’s up to you to decide.

Phosphorescent is the one man band of Matthew Houck. But while touring he has many members who come and go. He was, in November, playing in England. I’m not sure when his next performance will be but you can check him out HERE.


My favorite song is “Wolves” which like I said earlier it just evokes an emotion in me. It’s haunting, chilling, and sad…



Lyrics...
Mama there's wolves in the house
Mama they won't let me out
Mama they're mating at night
Mama they wont make nice

They're pacing and glowing bright
Their faces all snowy and white
Bury their paws in the stone
Make for my heart as their home

They tumble and fight
And they're beautiful
On the hilltops at night
They are beautiful

Blazing with light
Is the whitest and the tallest and the biggest one
She's muscled and fine
When she runs

They're tearing up holes in the house
They're tearing their claws in the ground
They're staring with blood in their mouths
Mama they won't let me out

They tumble and fight
And they're beautiful
On the hilltops at night
They are beautiful

Blazing with light
Is the whitest and the tallest and the biggest one
All muscled and fine
When she runs

Mama there's wolves in the house
Mama i tried to put them out
And mama i know you're too wise
To wait till those wolves make nice
