The Way We Used To
Chelsea Wolfe Lyrics
Are we wasting our time awake here
We could be sleeping
I'll disappear then maybe
When you're here I know I could never love you
I only dream of you after you are gone
We don't work the way we used to
Your face has changed since morning
Say it
I want to hear some truth
Say it
When you're here I know I could never love you
I only dream of you after you are gone

Chelsea Joy Wolfe was born in Roseville, California, and grew up in Sacramento. She is of Norwegian and German descent. Her father was in a country band and owned a home studio. By the age of 7, she had written her first poem and by the age of 9, she had written and recorded songs which she later described as "basically Casio-based gothy R&B songs."
Inspired by the dark state of the world and the strange connection between all things, she creates a unique musical blend of goth-folk, experimental rock and spiritual realm funeral songs. With influences ranging from the great minds of Ingmar Bergman and David Lynch to Soviet and end-times literature, her songs conjure visions of other dimensions, claustrophobic echo-rooms and parking garage cathedrals.
Wolfe has recorded seven full length studio albums: The Grime and the Glow, which was released on December 28th, 2010 on limited vinyl through Brooklyn’s Pendu Sound Recordings; Ἀποκάλυψις (pronounced “Apokalypsis”), which was released as a 12” LP on August 23rd, 2011; Unknown Rooms: a Collection of Acoustic Songs, which was released on October, 2012 through Sargent House; Pain Is Beauty, out September 3rd, 2013; Abyss, which was released August 7th, 2015; and Hiss Spun, out September 22nd, 2017; Birth of Violence[7i] which was released on September 13th, 2019.

How is Chelsea Wolfe ALWAYS SO MAJESTIC AND PERFECT
Janet Craft
I like the location. It has a natural echo which enhances her voice. Listen to it with your eyes closed and you'd swear she is in some bat cave.
Jamie Van Beveren
tricksebas she does use reverb effects on vocals but she also does create a natural reverb with her vocals often. Check out some acoustic videos where she is sans anything but perhaps the good acoustics of the room
tricksebas
it could be that, or it could be the reverb pedal in her pedalboard, i'd go for the second one
NaNcy K.
She is a very interesting artist.
