about
Wounded Knees is T. Wilds third single from her album ‘Ten Songs’, both coming out on the same day. Tania says Wounded Knees is a gothic fairy-tale with question-and-answer-like lyrics about trust and devotion.
T. Wilds is a singer/songwriter based in the Blue Mountains in NSW.
The impact of T. Wilds’ voice is immediate and definitive, distinctive, delicate yet powerful, and instantly captivating. Her voice provides the perfect vehicle for her ever-expanding catalogue of songs that are wise and curious, day-dreamy and evocative. She is influenced by the beauty of her surroundings and the natural world.
Landing somewhere between the sophisticated soul of Sade, the wistful yearning of Nico, and the country-tinged soul of Gillian Welch, her music continues to evolve into its own genre of delicate indie-folk.
Her stripped-back live performances have seen her impress audiences in support slots for the likes of Cat Power, Wil Oldham, The Books, Kristin Hersch, My Brightest Diamond, Clare Bowditch, and many others.
Previously her inclination to collaborate has seen her work alongside international artists such as Howe Gelb, Tortoise members, and Prefuse 73, but these days she crafts her recordings with fellow Blue Mountains resident Matt Toohey, who adds light and shade with minimal electric guitar atmospherics to accompany the classic simplicity of her acoustic guitar.
Featuring singles I Swim, Curious Moon and Wounded Knees, T. Wilds’ album ‘Ten Songs‘ is released on October 1, 2021 through Cheersquad Records & Tapes and is available on CD, limited edition translucent red 180gr vinyl, black 180gr vinyl and digital.
lyrics
I go down to the water
(To see you wait for me)
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you
(Please don’t make me)
I step into the current
(Because you told me so)
If this is not for good
It’s the chance you’re willing to take for me
(It’s like an open door)
I will come to you on wounded knees
Wounded knees
Wounded knees
If the river is wide, I’ll set to see
(Where will it take me?)
The options are getting small for me
(Will not forsake me)
I will come to you on wounded knees
Wounded knees
And if my arm becomes an empty object
I will sing to you
On wounded knees
