Songfacts®:

  • The Bride is a concept album that follows the story of a woman whose fiancé dies in a car crash on the way to their wedding. The record follows her as she deals with the tragedy.

    According to Natasha Khan, the woman behind Bat for Lashes, this spoken word song is about the Bride character who "gets hunted by a widow, but the widow is personification of the cynical, hardened heart, someone who can't let go of the grief and who becomes a misshapen or hardened person." >>
