Favorite Songs of the 2010s # 76 “New Skin” by Torres

Torres

New Skin

2015

From album Sprinter

 

This whole song is great from staring with the line “Lay off me would you” to the Cormac McCarthy reference in the chorus but the end is absolutely perfect and flawless kicking in with this:

“The darkness fears
What darkness knows
But if you’ve never known the darkness
Then you’re the one who fears the most

The darkness fears
What darkness knows
But if you’ve never known the darkness
Then you’re the one who fears the most
But if you do not know the darkness
Then you’re the one who fears the most
But if you do not know the darkness
Then you’re the one I fear the most”

Nothing I can say will top that.
