See an excerpt from Jason Isbell below. I’m drawn to “Wild Creatures” because of the way the song handles the difference between assumption and reality. I like songs that undo ideas, like the idea that a little girl would want to be the equal of the most powerful man, when in truth she wants to be something altogether uncivilized, even inhuman, free to only bear witness. In the first verse, the light brings out something primordial and liberated, before liberation even needed to exist. This song says to me: “We are older than our rules. We are older than the limitations we force on each other.” – Jason Isbell CREDITS Written By Neko Case Neko Case - Vocals, Backing Vocals, Guitar Bo Koster - Piano, Organ, Mellotron, Bass Organ Jon Rauhouse - Electric Guitar, Pedal Steel Kelly Hogan - Backing Vocals Kurt Dahle - Drums Paul Rigby - Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar Rachel Flotard - Backing Vocals Steve Berlin - Midi Sax Steve Turner - Electric Guitar Tom Ray - Bass Director/Creator: Laura Plansker (lauraplansker.com) Sets: Gary Smith Artwork Animation: Sarah Sheikh Bridge (mobiuseditorial.com) Web Design: Damon Kiley (damon.ooo/) LYRICS When you catch the light you look like your mother It crushes me some, just right from the side When you catch the light there's a flash of wild creatures, before the Stone Age of the preachers, and the husbands, and the wives When you catch the light the flood changes direction, and darkens the lenz that projects my disguise As you fight along-side, you'll discover my weakness I'm not fighting for your freedom, I am fighting to be wild. "Hey, little girl, would you like to be the king's pet or the king?" "I'd choose odorless and invisible, but otherwise I would choose the king. Even though it sounds the loneliest.. and my brother's hands would poison me." "Hey, little girl, would you like to be the king's pet or the king?" "I'd choose odorless and invisible, but otherwise I would choose the king, Even though it sounds melodious.. there's no mother's hands to quiet me." ________________________ FOLLOW NEKO CASE ▶ Store: nekocase.ffm.to/store ▶ Website: nekocase.com ▶ Facebook: facebook.com/nekocase ▶ Instagram: instagram.com/NekoCaseOfficial ▶ Twitter: twitter.com/NekoCase ▶ Spotify: spoti.fi/354qSu4 ▶ Apple: apple.co/3uUIh3a ▶ Amazon: amzn.to/3517E94" ________________________ FOLLOW ANTI- RECORDS ▶ Website: anti.com ▶ Instagram: instagram.com/antirecords ▶ Facebook: facebook.com/antirecords ▶ Twitter: twitter.com/antirecords ▶ TikTok: tiktok.com/@antirecords ▶ Spotify: spoti.fi/3F8wIHU ▶ Apple: apple.co/3mh6Wdc ▶ Store: anti.ffm.to/store #nekocase #wildcreatures #antirecords
