about

Get lost and then found again in this searing love-letter to Pennsylvania by New Zealand / now PA-based indie-rock songstress Miriam Clancy featuring her friends: alt-country rock heroes Frog Holler, and made deep in the Lehigh Valley at the foot of the Appalachian mountains.
This shouldn’t work but it really, really does; an intimate folk collision where a vintage drum machine carries you onward with banjos, synthesizers and the beautifully dueling voices of Miriam, Darren Schlappich and Mike Lavdanski.
Echoing Springsteen's Streets Of Philadelphia in its mapped melancholy, the song is a homemade symphony for a land rich in war and peace and to Pennsylvanians near and far... it's a love that won't desert you. 🖤

lyrics

PENNSYLVANIA

Seek your happiness today
Amongst the great decay
Find that coal is in your veins
And there the earth did shake

Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania

Wild the wind is at your door
But Indians no more
Who took on authority 
For the land under your feet?

Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania 
uh huh
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania

Fire under your homes
Deep within your bones
A love that won't desert you now

Fight the vultures of the Free
At the cost of liberty
Lay to rest your broken arms
To the stranger do no harm

Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania
uh huh
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania
uh huh
Pennsylvania

Fire under your homes
Deep within your bones
A love that won't desert you now
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania
