New Music Alert: Allie Buckley's "Nothing Sacred"


Allie Crow Buckley has a new song out called "Nothing Sacred." The video has an ancient sacred style to it. The music has a folk tone that includes what feels like what the Druids music might have sounded like. 

Saying Druids is not the appropriate route to take on the music as she writes on an Instagram post:

Nothing Sacred was written about this place...

A small town in Italy carved out of the side of a mountain. An area where the Etruscan people once lived. An ancient pre patriarchal civilization of earth worshippers.

In slide 3 you can see the ‘jukebox and ancient token’ - there was this old school jukebox, and it only operated on lira. The owner of this little wine bar would drop a handful on your table.

That evening, we were walking through the town square and saw the locals all doing this line dance. Naturally I had to join in. Filled to the brim with wine, and pleasantly losing the feeling ‘limb by limb.


So I should said influenced by the potential ancient sounds of the Etruscans versus the Druids, but honestly I don't know if I've ever heard of the Etruscans -- other than maybe they were mentioned in my high school European history class way back when.

Lyrics of the song: Are we onto something / Is this all part of some plan / Living out some prophecy lifetimes in the making.  

How is the present connected to the past? Sometimes when we allow life to slow down just for a moment, we can feel it.
