about

zoe was martyred on the 5th of july, hanged from a tree by her hair and lit on fire. made me think of a human fireworks display, come on everybody, let's watch! and of course they did.

lyrics

on the fifth of july
zoe of rome was hung
from a tree by her hair
pulled from her prayer to her feet at the tomb of st. peter
zoe of rome was hung by her hair

and all the people we knew
all the people she knew were there
to watch zoe of rome
swing from a tree by her beautiful hair

(she was too proud of her hair!)

on the fifth of july
zoe of rome was hung

then they lit a fire
(there she goes!)

about

Rachel Taylor Brown Portland, Oregon

Rachel was born in Portland and lives nearby with her beloved husband Jay. She makes disturbing yet ultimately sensible songs you can sometimes dance to.

She sees loads of ugly and beauty in the world. Trying to capture that sweet and sour thing in a song is what she’s mostly trying to do.

She records with audio midwife and dear friend Jeff Stuart Saltzman and his cats.

Thanks for stopping by!
