About This Song
About "Trois chansons de Bilitis, L. 90: No. 2, La chevelure" by Anne Sofie Von Otter
The second Bilitis song is a sensuous trap. Von Otter describes hair as a dark river, her voice dripping with honeyed nostalgia. The piano's chords are slow, heavy with memory—a lover's tresses become a shroud, beauty and loss entwined in every shimmering phrase.
