Although she was born and raised in suburban New Jersey, Sharon Van Etten's folk music evokes the open landscapes of a more expansive America. A dedicated choir student during her childhood, she studied clarinet, violin, and piano before moving on to guitar. She began writing songs as high school student and sang in a choir group, the Madrigals. She credits her choral experiences as indispensable in learning to musically notate, as well as to sing harmonies. Upon graduation, Van Etten moved to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to attend Middle Tennessee State University. There she studied recording until she dropped out a year later. She remained in the city for over four years, working at Red Rose, a combination coffee house, record shop, and music venue. She wrote songs during the entire period, but never performed. After a personal crisis, she briefly moved back home to New Jersey, where she worked as a sommelier in a wine and dining establishment. After finally making a move to Brooklyn, she began to play in small public spaces, and to record her songs on individually hand-painted CD-R's. She sold them at shows and via her website. At one show, she handed one to Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio. (She had known his brother in high school.) After hearing it, he enthusiastically encouraged her to pursue a musical career. Van Etten continued to perform, but was determined to learn about the business of music. To that end, she secured an internship with Ba Da Bing Records through a college friend. (She would later earn a role as a full-time publicist.) While working there she continued to write, play publicly, and record privately. Van Etten's first nationally released album was 2009's sparsely orchestrated Because I Was in Love, recorded for Language of Stone, a label manufactured and distributed by Chicago-based Drag City. Reviews were almost universally positive and helped secure her opening slots on other artist's tours, as well as headline her first shows outside of the East Coast. This effort was followed by the lush, more band-oriented Epic in 2010, which was greeted by more praise. Signed to Jagjaguwar late in 2010, Van Etten began opening for the National on tour and working with the band's Aaron Dessner as a producer in the studio. Their collaboration resulted in her third album, Tramp, issued in early 2012. In support of the album, she toured the United States as a headliner and also played clubs and festivals in Europe. In 2013, she sang on the National's Trouble Will Find Me. Van Etten returned to the studio to record her fourth album, and co-produced it with Stewart Lerman. Are We There was released in May of 2014 to some of the higest critical acclaim of any album that year. She followed it in 2015 with the five-track EP I Don't Want to Let You Down.

Epic A Crime To say the things I want to say to you would be a crime To admit i'm still in love with you, after all this time I'd rather let you touch my arm until you die Seduce me with your charms until I'm drunk on them Go home and drink in bed and never let myself be in love like that again Light a cigarette and think of you and walk away Turning all the words around in my head I won't say Because of all these triangles and squares The memory we seem to share replays a distant love that plays my records on Never let myself love like that again Never let myself love like that again To say the words I want to say to you would be a lie By the time I get the courage I am drunk and you are tired Alone in this basement where I will write these songs Of things I'll never say to you again and you know why Never let myself love like that again Never let myself love like that again Never let myself love like that again Never let myself love like that again Never let myself love like that again Never let myself love like that again Peace Signs I woke up I was already me I was somewhat afraid I was something Peace signs I told you I could no longer see I was right in the fire I was on

Darkness Fades Rain Sleep tonight Sunrise Hold hands all night It's been a while since I held you close Been a while since we've touched All the doors close I've seen the fall I've seen you undone Been writing on the dust I'm hearing stars fall Keeping what at bay Here I'm standing Partly here Here I stare around the room Pray home they I'm looking at our grass I'm struggling for words I'm dreaming of a place I held close in a state Darkness fades The nights are now Better stay Light I'm looking for a way Darkness fades Home To Me The only child Don't turn your back Don't leave You're on my mind Do you not see I need my job Please, don't hold that against me You are my life Ooh don't that sting Oh my child You throw it back to me You hold my time You hold right back indeed I take my time So you can say to me "What makes it right Is an unknown thing" You come home to me You come home to me You come home to me You come home to me You come home to me I'll Try My hell in drive My heart in, like, a fog I hear them now every time I cross the park Believe the death Karma, your life Come what fear undone My life on the path Don't state a direction Like who my blood won't save Anyone on a mission To fear a life, no love It crossed my mind I'd "try" Let's go march I'll go downtown Wear my protection by ways no one can judge The lack of conviction Change the ways of the number one And I'll try I'll try I'll try Worldwide intervention on the "do not touch" It's too much But I'll try (try) I'll try Cross my heart Cross my heart I'll Anything Up the whole night Undefined Can't stop thinking 'bout peace and war Up the whole night Right before The sun takes everything It could've been anything I didn't feel anything Up the whole night Underline Chain-smoking, like, no, it ain't right Afternoon beer Understand It could've been anything It could've been anything I didn't feel anything You love him by the stove light in your arms He is there because he can't stand the sad eyes I couldn't feel anything I couldn't feel anything I couldn't feel anything I couldn't feel anything I couldn't feel anything Born I was never like her I laugh As I am knocked down Turned your face Like I always did When I was taking my time I knew where I was born I knew where I was Blamed by the world Where have you been You were with your wishes What could have been If a wish was kisses One night I walked into a situation that I could have avoided But it turned into something my babe noticed "ain't right" It was something like a window And I wanted to break free You showed me a false halo There will be no walking back I walk away, my head turned I wanted to break Something like an innocent child Walking by fire Not another bullet in vain Headspace Eyes on screen to left of me All the clouds are wrapped around your brain Hardly see what's next to you Can't you see I'm trying to get through Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby I want to touch you in the dark Put your lips on neck to me Hold yourself up against me Don't stop Pull my hips, remind you, see Ten-year-old white cotton briefs want play Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby I wanted to feel ageless I wanted to be here I wanted to feel ageless I wanted to feel here Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby, don't turn your back to me Baby Come Back Wall eyes Ceiling felt too high Nights were falling down skies Was no look in the eyes Subtle moments of past What a wondering time Come back Swallowed over the stage Turning into the rage Wondering what forced the age towards tomorrow Come back Come back Was wild and unsure And naked and pure Come back Turning into the fear Never something was here Turning over my mind Jumping on tenuous time Come back Come back Moments of faith turning out late Come back Leaning over the stairs Trying to see what is there Or does anyone care Ominous state Come back Come back Neighboring love won't stay in the home Come back Come back Come back Moments of fire can turn the car on back home Darkish Turn me back and you will say "Here is what you have Only in the stars you saw Harmony is all you'll see And home is what you hold Then what you have to hold is what you wanted" "Cruel," he said, once It's always once All is harmony It's once, it's all, it's done And crazy as can be It's not dark It's only darkish Waiting Tell me this one thing Calling out to where Where will we be when our world is done It's done Darkish inside of me Mistakes I walk down the road Let my body wake up by the way You'll move Skate 'round the room See my body ache, my body shake Boom boom Even when I make a mistake Even when I make a mistake, mistake, mistake It's much better than that I dance like Elaine But my baby takes me to the floor Says, "More, more" Eyes close to stares My baby takes, my body shares Lights flare Even when I make a mistake Even when I make a mistake, mistake, mistake It's much better than that When I make a mistake Turns out it's great, it's great, it's great I'm much better than that It's much better than that Even when I make a mistake Even when I make a mistake, mistake Turns out it's great Even when you're late, you're late, you're late It's much better than that It's much better than that It's much better than that Far Away Been down on myself Said won't go back Been there My mother might say you were right Doesn't matter where she is Not far I'll be here for a little while Then not gone Long Don't know what it is so far I'll be here Not only when you feel long lost Sitting there Wet mess We held 'til the sun came up Are you aware, last steps realize Doesn't matter where she is Not far I'll be here for a little while Then not gone Long Don't know what it is so far I'll be here Not only when you feel long lost Long gone, I'll see you far

A Candle's Fire (Beirut feat. Sharon Van Etten / The Rip Tide LP) Oh light a candle's fire Carries our good name What would you ask a campfire That scares me just the same And you, you've had it all along An endless need for games Just don't forget a candle's fire Is only just a flame I, it's certain from afar Failed to pull my weight But you and I, we traveled through the fog To arrive at our front gate Tonight we rest beside the fire A smile upon your face Just don't forget a candle's fire Is only just a flame If I had known Not to carry on that way It wouldn't show In the creases on your face If you should go But you carry on my name Just let it blow In the fog of Bishop's Lane
A Wake For The Minotaur (Shearwater Feat. Sharon Van Etten on Fellow Travelers LP) A glorious light A ladder along the clouds A spy in the sun A shout in the street below Climb down the white road Into the dark mud Another copy paste from aotr Paper (?) and dusk A river below the lake I ride in the flood A dog with the chain removed Till the morning rides Till my memory lies clear As a tear in the darkness A hole in the light And I know where you are I ride in the blood I ride on the warming rails (?) Through canyons of sunlight And waters across the road Could I have loved you enough If I fell in the right way The world turns and turns A tear in the darkness A hole in the light I'll breathe in the silence I'll laugh till I die Baby, It's Cold Outside (Rufus Wainwright Feat.
