Sister (Single) by Aviva La Viv

The second single off of Aviva La Viv's upcoming EP Vigilant Love, Sister is an ode to nature, feminine power, energy, and support. In this song, sisterhood is an expansive concept, not defined or constrained by biology or traditional gender constructs. Allow Sister to take you on a journey of healing and empowerment through Aviva's signature combination of acoustic and folk elements with driving rhythm and psychedelic swells.


LYRICS

My sister, the desert
She stole my heart
She took me in while I was bleeding
She soaked my blood up with her sands
She wiped my tears away with wild thistles

My sister
She witnessed me dance my freest dance
Topless moonlight had us gleaming
Released my burning into ash
Held me tight while I was sobbing

She felt the power in my voice
Echoed it back with fervent yearning
She felt the promise in my limbs
She woke me up to face the morning
