A sultry, haunting song about longing. The music is very pretty but also ominous and a little unsettling, making the listener feel that what the singer wants is a bad idea. Featuring a lead female vocal, dark strings and dissonant yet pretty production. A sexy, enigmatic song.

Lyrics
Blackberries
Oh the blackberries around your mouth
all the sweetness is drawing me out
Oh the blackberries around your mouth
There's one lightning bug in a field
where there were ten thousand
There's one drop of rain high above
and I don't know how to give you love
Oh the blackberries around your mouth
all the sweetness is drawing me out
Oh the blackberries around your mouth
There's one slow song on the air
The wind's pullin' it through my ear
No one can hear it up here
Oh the blackberries around your mouth
all the sweetness is drawing me out
Oh the blackberries around your mouth
The last time I saw you, you were standing high above
head cradled in your hands, and the sky was full doves
Oh the blackberries around your mouth
all the sweetness is drawing me out
Oh the blackberries around your mouth
