about

The first remix off of PUSH, Little Islands (Jenny Owen Youngs Remix) is a masterful reimagining of the original, with Youngs' remix "transcending the subtle strength of the original string quartet song and bringing to its solitary nature a new awareness of the fun side of isolation. She alchemized it from the perfect song to cry to when you need a good sob to the perfect song to dance to when you're completely on your own." - Jocelyn Mackenzie

lyrics

crack me open
there's a girl inside
or a cluster
of little islands
not a mother
no one's child.

go to the boat,
it's enough.
go to it, go —
it is all enough.

be a person
make it personal —
crack it open
at its most.
given current, catapults...

time to go home,
it's enough.
go to it, go,
it is all enough.

where were you
when you rooted
and knew
you're enough?

perfect moment
alone
as an island
once sprung
from the center
of the earth

no one's child
spooned by water
made of the push
not a mother —
it is all enough
