A self-described “compulsive songwriter,” Lily Kershaw has been making music for most of her life and the strongest tool she wields is her voice, both in the simmering ferocity it carries and the poetry it speaks. In this lilting singalong, the line "the saints have all left town" refers to missing local shows by her idols Patti Smith and Leonard Cohen, who she never got to see play when he was alive and living in Los Angeles, suggesting what she knows now: that music would become her salvation.
