about

We meet for trouble, not fair dealings
Drawn blinds and choke chain freedom
You turn my prison on its head
I kick the rafters, I pace the ceiling
You speak in sugar and in splinters
But when it's late and your wit is chafing
When you start running out of clever
Suddenly I'm a handmade angel
But you leave no space beneath my spine
No room for wings
I started this, wanted to see when the world ends
Then what happens?
Stretch yourself out before me
Show the way my footsteps should go
Lead me round in circles
Tie your life to my heels, won't you?
You've got me dancing in the corner
Down where the monsters wear the crowns
And I'd do anything, twisting,
Spinning til my shoes wear out
You're gonna keep me dizzy til the music stops
Gotta get out quick before the doors lock
I started this, wanted to see when the world ends
Then what happens?
You just can't help yourself, can you?
You're climbing up and over the barbed wire again
But you know you're in no danger
You see where I am, so you know where I've been
Why don't you slum a little farther
Just south of where the safety ends
Set me a fine example
Clean collar, soft hands
And see me shimmer like I'm something better
Shining like I'm some kind of prize
Delicate and precious and lemon sweet
Blank and empty...
Send me
Tell me I was accidental
Tell me how lucky you are
You're telling me there's nothing better I can be
Than right where you can find me when you need me -
Which you will.

about

Hannah vs. The Many Brooklyn, New York

"(Fairchild's)songs play out like tiny musicals - they’re dramatic, punchy, and lightly dusted with Stephen Sondheim’s lyricality ... you can hear a likeness to his dark theatre in her music."

- WNYC Soundcheck

"The key's in the name. Hannah vs The Many. Not Hannah AND The Many... You wouldn't want to be part of the "Many" Hannah Fairchild's ferociously taking down - track by track."
- Deli NYC
