about

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.

Says Kershaw, "Living Room Parties is reflection on a time in my life when I was incapacitated by depression and couldn’t be present or feel any emotions and how years later having recovered I was able to enjoy the simple beauty and joy of a living room party.

lyrics

You tried to dance with me once at a living room party
I couldn’t stay I was so sorry
I couldn’t feel anything real at that time
I was living in my memories
Played behind closed eyelid screens
Regret is a terrible thing

But now I dance at living room parties with strangers
Looking for love or for danger
I kiss them on both of their cheeks
Now I dance at living room parties with strangers
Tell em all that they are angels
And blow them kisses as I leave

There was a time I was so numb in my mind
Poured over ice
Liquified
I was away sleeping through days
In darkness I would lay
Started to heal so that I could feel
People and places and know that they’re real
I drew a line and now it’s a wonderful time

And now I dance at living room parties with strangers
Looking for love or for danger
I kiss them on both of their cheeks
And now I dance at living room parties with strangers
Tell em all that they are angels
And blow them kisses as I leave

And now I dance at living room parties with strangers
Looking for love or for danger
I kiss them on both of their cheeks
And now I dance at living room parties with strangers
Tell em all that they are angels
And blow them kisses as I leave
