Courtney Marie Andrews - It Must Be Someone Else's Fault

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘It Must Be Someones Else’s Fault’ - Courtney Marie Andrews

We love this new single from Courtney taken from her forthcoming album ‘Old Flowers’ set for release on July 24th.

Courtney comments “This is a song rooted in taking ownership of our own story and pain. I wrote this in Washington state one spring afternoon, and the message was something I'd tried to put to song for a long time. The video embodies the power of sisterhood, and our ancestral trauma through the power of movement. Through these movements, I hope to embody the strength of our lineage, and overcome this old pain. Shoutout to my incredible choreographer, Marlee Grace, and inspiring director, V and cinematographer Adam.”

Courtney Marie Andrews - Burlap String

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Burlap String’ - Courtney Marie Andrews

Our LCM featured track today is the brand new single from Courtney’s forthcoming album ‘Old Flowers’ set for release on June 5th.

Courtney comments: ‘Even with all the mystic symbolism that year presented, this is an age-old story I can’t make up. We fall in love, we grow up, we change, and they don’t change with us. ‘Old Flowers’ is about heartbreak. There are a million records and songs about that, but I did not lie when writing these songs. This album is about loving and caring for the person you know you can’t be with. It’s about being afraid to be vulnerable after you’ve been hurt. It’s about a woman who is alone, but okay with that if it means truth.

This was my truth this year – my nine-year relationship ended, and I’m a woman alone in the world, but happy to know herself.

These songs came to me alone, late nights in Bisbee, Lisbon, Nashville, and London. Sometimes I’d just cry and sing, and a song would come out. I drank too much wine while writing this record, lit too many candles. You could say this was my attempt to summon the muse, but that’s bullshit because she was just standing there naked looking me in the eyes. So I told her the truth.

This is my story of the most heartbreaking, but soul-revealing, year of my life. I drove myself mad. I drove to the smoky mountains just to drive back. I danced with a Portuguese boxer and cried on his shoulder in a Fado cafe. I did everything an artist is “supposed to do.” But at the end of the day, beyond all the romance, these songs are my truth. I think they might be yours too.’.
