I Feel The Power

Julia Holter “Goddess Eyes II”

The arrangement for “Goddess Eyes II” unfolds patiently, with each shift in structure and instrumentation coming across like thought in motion. The refrain “I can see you but my eyes are not allowed to cry” repeats through the majority of the song, but the gradual changes in the sound and delivery signals to the listener that the phrase means something just a bit different each time, as if Holter is considering every angle and meaning before settling on a single perspective on the sentiment that seems totally true. There is never a conclusion, really, but as some strands begin to align in the end, there’s a sense of peaceful resolution.
