American singer songwriter Lissie has revealed a brand-new song, a gorgeous cover of \u2018Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole\u2019 by Martha Wainwright. The track is taken from her forthcoming\u00a0\u2018Thank You to The Flowers\u2019\u00a0EP, out November 20th<\/sup>\u00a0on \u2018Cooking Vinyl\u2019.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Powerful guitars, spatial textures and stark sincerity all come together to create Lissie\u2019s spine-tingling rendition of the Wainwright classic. A devout admirer of its composer, she grips tightly onto the striking rawness and honesty of the original and taps into its soul, allowing it to resonate through her to both convey and treat a deep pain of her own.<\/p>\n

\u201cPermitting yourself and others to express anger and defiance through song is such a gift,\u201d\u00a0divulges Lissie.\u00a0\u201cEarlier this summer, I was moved to sit down and learn this song. I was working through a breakup but as the months passed, it became so much bigger than my own heartache and\u00a0betrayal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expletives are necessary for the hugeness of the moment!\u00a0To rail against those who invalidate our lives, experiences, our emotions and feelings, gaslight and\u00a0bully us, if only in this moment with my one voice, I will wail and I will howl! And hopefully through expressing the anger, healing can start to crack it all open, letting the fire, shimmer and\u00a0light move back into the injured spaces. \u201cFor you whoever you are…\u201d however and with whomever this song resonates for you, maybe you need this song right now as much as I do!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

‘Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole’\u00a0is accompanied by a beautiful video. Lissie explains,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI asked my long-time videographer\/collaborator Talain to create a video for the song and when I saw his interpretation, it brought even deeper meaning. Watching these breath-taking images of outer space and\u00a0the Earth, I could hear it being sung from the lips of Mother Earth herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
