Black Belt Eagle Scout Releases Thunderous And Etheral New Single Just Lie Down

Just Lie Down is a surprising song in all the best ways.
Starting off with a thunderous wall of distortion, 40 seconds in the track is turned on its head by an earworm of a riff in addition to Katherine “KP” Paul’s ethereal vocals.
The song is the second to be revealed from the Portland musician's debut album, ‘Mother of My Children’, which is scheduled for release on September 14 through Saddle Creek. She said:
"So many things didn't feel foundational and at times I felt like I was losing it. I remember thinking, ‘You aren't yourself right now. What is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this? What even is this?’ and that's where most of the questioning lyrics in the song came from. I like to find some sort of resolution in my songs be it a feeling I get from playing it, a certain part of the song that has lyrics that reflect it, something.
"My resolution in this song is when I sing the lyrics, ‘Just lie down, head on the ground, sky looks blue, just like you.’ To me, it was a simple poem you could say to yourself that means even though you are sad, even though there seems like there is no hope, look up and see what is above you. The sky is still blue and beautiful. Hopefully you will see that beauty and move forward.”
