  1. [Verso 1]
    Cuando entrego estos libros, ¿mi tinta me traicionará?
    ¿Mis historias resistirán alas y crecerán pies y convencerán a los hombres de que me estoy jactando?
    ¿O mis salmos buscarán la compañía de respiraciones solitarias?
    ¿Inspirarán a los sutiles amantes a besarse con bocas que aún no tienen?
    Chico, quien lea acerca de cuánto te adoro
    Espero que mis palabras les traigan algo nuevo, algo nuevo

    [Estribillo 1]
    Ooh hijo, bendice tu corazón, mantén un corazón tierno
    Corazón
    Corazón

    [Verso 2]
    Contigo puedo vaciarme de todos mis ríos y convertirme en un cielo extraordinario
    ¿Cómo podría guardar estos documentos de amor para mí?
    ¿Cómo podría restringir lo que me ha dado la vida?
    Hoy encontraré una criatura amable y enterradora que puede llevar estas páginas al suelo
    Recitará los detalles de tu amor con su familia
    Y lo que una vez fue un susurro se convertirá en un sonido profundo y estruendoso

    [Estribillo 2]:
    Ooh niño bendiga un corazón, mantenga un corazón tierno
    (Voy a mantener un corazón tierno)
    Corazón
    Corazón
    Corazón
    Corazón
    (Oh, voy a mantener mi corazón tierno)


    [Outro]:
    Chico, gracias por mostrarme cómo ser gentil (corazón)
    Tengo coraje para compartir tu amor con valentía (corazón)
    (corazón)
    (corazón

  2. Gospel is not usually the kind of music that attracts tarot-reading, pentagram-tattooed occultists but then Baltimore-born singer Josiah Wise is anything but ordinary. At 28, Wise has shed more musical skins than some artists do in a lifetime: he’s trained as a jazz vocalist, formed a neo-soul group, had a goth phase and was once hellbent on being an opera singer. “But I didn’t like the idea of having to wear a tux,” he explains, from his Brooklyn apartment.
    With his latest project, Serpentwithfeet, Wise has found a niche to call his own, one he dubbed “pagan gospel”. It’s a term that he’s since come to renounce, having lost interest in rituals: “Who needs a crystal ball when you can read a person’s body language,” he reasons. Nevertheless, it’s an apt description for his UK debut EP Blisters, a haunting, R&B-edged take on devotional music.
    That ambiguity between the spiritual and the sensual informs the songs on Blisters, which could be as much about faith as a faltering relationship. “I offer myself to you, don’t let me doubt you,” he sings in a pleading vibrato on Flickering, over a backing of piano chords, swelling strings and spine-tingling ambience, produced by Björk collaborator the Haxan Cloak, now his Tri-Angle labelmate.
    With Serpentwithfeet, Wise has reconciled his formal musical background with his love for 90s R&B, harmonising like his idols Faith Evans and Brandy only over minimal classical instrumentation. After years of struggling to find his voice, it’s a style that finally suits him. And all without having to wear a tux.
