About This Track

'edith' is a 2016 song by Clairo, from the album 'Keel Her / Claire Cottrill'. Its lyrics circle on indecision and messy aftermaths, with lines that picture speaking by telephone and moving through city streets. There is a repeated insistence on self-control, returning to the idea of not getting upset even as the narrator admits making a mess, and ends up dwelling on not knowing, or not saying, where they are going. The overall tone feels frank and unsettled, but determined to stay composed, with the refrain-like return to calm framed as something chosen rather than achieved.

"edith" is a track by Clairo, from the album Keel Her / Claire Cottrill, released 2016. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 17 articles about Clairo.

Lyrics

edith

Been a while since I've made up my mind

Talk to you on the telephone

Made a mess I know

Made a mess I know

Made a mess I know

In these streets in the city

I never tell you where I'm going

I never know

I understand

I understand

I understand

I won't get upset

I won't get upset

I won't get up

Said I need it

Clairo's night at London’s Eventim Apollo is a masterclass in how to make a sit-down show not boring

The conversation pit, an interior design feature for spacious living rooms, features sofas arranged in a U shape facing one another rather than facing technology, for the sole purpose of relaxing and chatting. They haven’t been popular since the 1970s. Tonight, Clairo turns London’s Eventim Apollo stage into one.

Clairo - Charm

While much of ‘Charm’ dwells in quiet introspection, Clairo hasn’t lost her knack for crafting moments of pure pop bliss.
