In no particular order, (or in order, if you can rank them) what are your top 5 Ethel Cain songs? 🎤

Oh Tonee, this is like opening up one of five music based Pandora boxes for me 😭 please forgive the rambling.

Family Tree from Preacher's Daughter

This song drives me MAD. I could talk about her vocals in every song, but her voice in this makes me buzz. The bass throughout is ominous and incredible: same can be said for the SFX. I'm a sucker for when artists add in extra things like that. The flies put me on edge (which links it to Ptolemaea and eventually Sun Bleached Flies) and the bell ringing out during the first chorus makes me feel like I'm attending a funeral. Literally 'for whom the bell tolls', which kind of foreshadows her death later on in the album.

I genuinely think the lyrics are the closets I've come to a religious experience. "They say 'Heaven hath no fury like a woman's scorn', and baby Hell don't scare me, I've been times before." Insane. Ate and left not a single crumb. Her dead tone on "I've killed before and I'll kill again", being a callback to Two-Headed Mother's "I've loved before, I'll kill again" is just. Ugh. I can't even describe it.

+ Special mention to Family Tree (intro). I haven't, and will probably never, get over "Jesus can always reject his father, but he cannot escape his mother's blood."

Televangelism from Preacher's Daughter

There's very few songs, to me, that encapsulate a painful yet quiet death well, and this is certainly one of them. It's a solemnly comforting tune. Considering lore wise, it's meant to represent Ethel's soul coming out of the basement after she's been killed, it makes sense.

The first half genuinely sounds like something the pianist in my Catholic School used to play before prayer started. The fact that it was entirely improvised is absolutely insane, too.

Plus, the incredibly smooth switch from August Underground to this is brilliant.

Ptolemaea from Preacher's Daughter

Literally every part of this song is amazing (pretty much all of Preacher's Daughter is a work of art to be honest). It's definitely one of the few songs that genuinely unnerves me; still has the same creeping, fearful effect after the hundreds of time that I've listened to it.

First, off: The title is a reference to the ninth and final layer of Dante's Inferno: betrayal. Ptolemy commits treachery (a betrayal of trust), which lands him in the ninth circle, hence its name. This is what Isaiah does to Ethel. It's a somewhat niche reference that I love.

Secondly, Death's monologue (some people also interpret this voice as Isaiah, the man who kills and cannablises Ethel by the end of PD, but I'm just generalising it as The Grim Reaper) is so, so eerie. The repetition switching between "Heard you, saw you, felt you, gave you" to "Need you, love you, love you, love you" with Ethel screaming and asking for him to stop in the background always gives me chills.

Thirdly, all the lyrics go hard in this one. "Calling me the one, I'm the white light: beautiful, finite", "Even the iron still fears the rot" and "I am the face of love's rage" are some of my favourites.

Honestly? The entire song puts me on edge. Listening to it, I feel like I'm millimetres away from the sharp point of a knife. The build up to her screaming "stop" is full of panic, but cathartic.

Two-Headed Mother from Inbred

The distorted guitar at the start mixed with her vocals itches my brain so well. Her tone and dictation in this is really 'soft' too, and more spoken than sang, which I adore. It sounds less like a song and more like being hummed an eerie tune as you drift in and out of sleep.

Overall, despite the topic (of both the song and album in general: it's called Inbred for a reason) the beat is an absolute groove. Never in my life would I have expected a song about trauma passed on from a mother so a daughter to have such a blend to it.

On the note of the topic, just, hello?? It mixes a mother's hatred and love and passes it down to a child who sees it in every man she sees. Let alone paints her lover in a horrible image in order to remove guilt from how badly she's treating him. Just how her dead mother still has dictation over her, she exerts the same amount of control on her lover. She knows very well that her two headed mother brought her here and can send her right back.

Head in the Wall from Golden Age

This one just encapsulates so, so much religious based anger and debilitating depression. Every single lyric oozes with pain and I always have to like, sit down when this comes on.

Growing up a Catholic kid, in a not so nice religious environment, yeah. Just yeah. Misogyny was rife and "It's always my fault: girls will be bitches, and boys will be boys" resonates with me a lot. I could say a prayer wrong and be told to sit outside in Winter to do my work for the rest of the day, and a boy could chase me around the playground, pull my hair and try to punch me and it's still be my fault because boys will be boys.

The whole song just illustrates a very depressive mindset, being more angry towards yourself, and then moving on to environmental factors to try and shift blame in an attempt to stop feeling shitty. For those reasons, I don't listen to Golden Age or Carpet Bed all too much because they sucker punch me right in the chest a little bit too painfully, but HITW is still a favourite.

I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER. 

THE ENEMY WANTS YOU TO FORGET: UNPUNISHED CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 

Recently, while discussing the coronavirus pandemic, Rahm Emanuel the high-profile democrat party hack who served as Obama’s Chief of Staff and, subsequently, as Mayor of Chicago repeated his “never allow a crisis go to waste” catchphrase. This was the same quote he used during the 2008 financial crisis. 

Emanuel’s admonition has become his party’s mantra, not only because the disloyal, un-American, democrat party is literally praying the economic miseries resulting from COVID-19 closures and shutdowns will help defeat President Trump in November, but also because they are counting on YOU to remain frightened, uncertain and distracted ... DISTRACTED TO THE POINT OF FORGETTING their litany of INCONVENIENT TRUTHS that have been purposefully pushed to the periphery of the corrupt political landscape created by the Obama administration and hidden by a complicit media. 

These egregious breaches and violations of law, public trust and our Constitution remain unattended and unresolved ... all but lost, BORDERING ON BEING FORGOTTEN ... resulting in a democrat party and mainstream media “happy dance.”

THEY CONSIDER US TO BE DUNCES, STUPID, MINDLESS DEPLORABLES. SHEEPLE.

PLEASE DO NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THIS: The democrats and their complicit media lapdogs DO NOT WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THESE EGREGIOUS AND INCONVENIENT TRUTHS. 

I DO NOT WANT YOU TO FORGET. For this reason alone, I ASK AND URGE YOU TO SHARE THIS POST WITH ALL YOUR FB FRIENDS, ALL YOUR EMAIL CONTACTS, YOUR SENATORS AND YOUR CONGRESSMAN. Let them know YOU HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN and THAT YOU WILL NOT FORGET.

That which follows is a brief but fairly comprehensive list of CORRUPT GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES and but a few reminders of their egregious, corrupt acts that are purposefully being swept under a rug of COVID-19 hysteria ... an hysteria, that I posit is deliberately intended to control and distract us. 

OBAMA’S FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY

• JUST REVEALED: Conspiratorial entrapment/set-up of General Michael Flynn

• Leaked documents to NYT triggering illegitimate Mueller Investigation of President Trump. 

• Too much more to even try to mention here. I am sure you know what I mean ... (and while Comey can’t be prosecuted for these deficiencies of character, he is nonetheless a pompous, arrogant SOB who considers himself morally, ethically and intellectually superior (to every U.S. citizen). He needs a “reality check.” IMO, Comey makes Bill Clinton look like a Choir Boy.

OBAMA’S CIA DIRECTOR JOHN BRENNAN

• Manic Trump hater turned-CNN spin doctor 

• Took politicized actions to pressure the intelligence community to adopt his 2017 conclusions with “high confidence” that Putin “ordered an influence campaign in 2016” and, Russia worked to “undermine public faith” in U.S. democracy, “denigrate” former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and “harm her electability and potential presidency,” and “developed a clear preference” for Trump. 

• Ordered the counter-Intelligence investigation of the Trump Campaign.

• Leaked to the media MANUFACTURED BOGUS STEELE DOSSIER that was used to justify BOGUS illegally obtained FISA court warrants. A very dangerous precedent.

OBAMA’S DIRECTOR of NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: JAMES CLAPPER

• In March 2013, democrat Sen. Ron Wyden asked Clapper, under oath during a Senate Hearing, if the U.S. government was collecting “any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans.” Clapper paused and said, “No, sir. THIS WAS, AS IT HAS BEEN SHOWN, A FLAGRANT AND DELIBERATE LIE.

• He Lied to Congress About Leaking Details About the Steele Dossier: A report from the House Intelligence Committee published last May shared that Clapper had leaked to CNN’s Jake Tapper details of a briefing regarding the Christopher Steele dossier given to President Obama and then-President-elect Donald Trump. “Clapper flatly denied ‘discussing[ing] the dossier [compiled by Steele] or any other intelligence related to Russia hacking of the 2016 election with journalists,” the committee wrote. Clapper then backtracked when asked specifically about his discussions with Tapper. “Clapper subsequently acknowledged discussing the ‘dossier with CNN journalist Jake Tapper,’ and admitted that he might have spoken with other journalists about the same topic.”

• He Lied to Congress about His Communication with CNN

OBAMA’S DEPUTY FBI DIRECTOR ANDREW MCCABE

• Altered Interview Record used to indict General Flynn

• Leaked documents to the WSJ, lied to Federal investigators about having done so and when caught, apologized.

• Fired from FBI for lying on at least four documented occasions.

• In a 2019 interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper stated “I think it's possible” (that President Trump is a Russian asset). “I think that's why we started our investigation. And I’m really anxious to see where Director Mueller concludes that.”

• Referred to DOJ for criminal prosecution.

SENIOR FBI AGENT PETER STRZOK

• Collusion, conspiracy, lying to Congress

• Communicated via text messages about the FBI’s Insurance Policy against election of Donald Trump.

• At the center of FBI’s early “Russian Collusion” investgations of candidate Trump. 

OBAMA APPOINTED DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL, ROD ROSENSTEIN

• Signed off on a search warrant that deliberately withheld vital information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). 

• Deliberately withheld embarrassing documents and information, knowingly hiding investigative information from Congress.

• Committed various abuses of the FISC/FISA process.

• Refused to comply with Congressional subpoenas.

• Under Rosenstein’s supervision, the DOJ and FBI intentionally hid from the FISC that the dossier was originally a political opposition research document paid for by the Clinton campaign.

CHRISTOPHER WRAY: DIRECTOR OF FBI

• Fought to prevent exculpatory evidence from surfacing in the case of President Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

• New court documents were filed in Flynn’s case Friday, 1 May 2020 containing the aforementioned exculpatory evidence, commonly referred to as Brady Material. Flynn’s attorney, Sidney Powell, announced the new filing on Twitter. Powell has repeatedly accused the FBI and Justice Department of hiding evidence in the case. That they did so is now public knowledge.

• Deliberately suppressed this evidence from the inception of this prosecution—knowing there was no crime by General Flynn.”

What then could have motivated these government employees to behave in such a reckless and intentionally deceitful manner? 

The answer is an affliction that is common to the elitists and the political class whenever it is handed virtually untrammeled power to order the lives of ordinary people: the authoritarian impulse and their inbred delusion that they know better than you and , that they are above the law. 

Thus, I implore any and all who have read this summary of egregious and unpunished corruption at the highest levels of OUR government to adopt “NEVER FORGET.” 

But beyond NEVER FORGETTING, it is each citizen’s responsibility to start screaming and to DEMAND THAT these Constitutional Traitors be charged/indicted, tried and if found guilty: Punished. 

The Establishment is relying upon your deafening silence. Will you surprise them? You have the power, by your sheer numbers to do so. 

Share. Write. Call ... Share. Write. Call ... and do not stop. 

Our very liberty depends on it.
