about

Recorded in Los Angeles in collaboration with co-producer Jonah Mutono, “I Wove A Garment For You” was originally written during a trip to England. Platiša was inspired by a visit to the island of Lindisfarne, home to the ruins of a medieval monastery, and was stirred by the idea of monastic living and lifelong devotion; Platiša explains:

‘I thought about how the act of creating something for someone is in some small way an act of devotion. For several years I have woven textiles on a wooden loom. Once woven and washed, the threads of fabric unite to become one garment. “I Wove A Garment For You” is the song of a weaver who has woven a garment for someone she loves. The garment is the embodiment of the weaver’s care and commitment. She sings to the wearer: “and if you outgrew, I’d measure, I’d measure”, pledging to adjust the garment as they grow together, never apart.’

lyrics

Trade it for something
Made by mine
Handled in my care
Made to turn you on
Knowing you’d fall

Touch me with your arms
And I’ll go undone
Mending every part
Then wanting something new
Something new for you

And when I chose materials
I searched for smooth and strong
Cause if I’ve read you right I’d know
Your face shows me both sides

I measured length two by two
Then pulled each thread right through
Tied them in bunches of few
I wove a garment for you

I wove threads
In and out, in and out
Beating them closer
In and out, in and out
Repeating the motions
In and out, in and out
Chasing each line like I do

I wove threads
In and out, in and out
Beating them closer
In and out, in and out
Repeating the motions
In and out, in and out
I wove a garment for you

I’m going to, I’m going to
Wrap you up in my threads
I’m going to, I’m going to
Wrap you up in my threads

And if you outgrew
I’d measure, I’d measure
If you outgrew
I’d measure, I’d measure
