In Their Words:

“Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is.”
 — Carl Jung

“All the things we have rejected and pushed deep down into our collective unconscious have risen like leviathans from the deep to destroy us. What we once thought was reality has been transformed into an unrecognizable inversion of what once was. But it was always this way. We couldn’t see it before, but now that we can, we’re all just strangers in this Shadow Land.” — Ben de la Cour

WATCH: Ben de la Cour, “Face Down Penny”

Posted on by Editor

Artist name: Ben de la Cour
Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee
Song: “Face Down Penny”
Album: The High Cost of Living Strange
Label: Flour Sack Cape

In Their Words: “Written with Olivia Rudeen, really the only co-write I’ve ever done. It takes more than one broken spoke to stop a face down penny from rolling on, and it’s never too late or too early to give up hope. A strange fever dream of bad luck gone right, of embracing the long odds and playing them anyway… of playing the long odds BECAUSE they’re so long, of laughing in the face of despair and then inviting her in for a nightcap.” — Ben de la Cour
