The Chapin Sisters are an American folk-rock and harmony duo from New York, NY. The band consists of sisters Abigail and Lily Chapin, and formerly their half-sister Jessica Craven. Their sound blurs the lines between old-time Appalachian music, classic country-rock and pop.
Abigail and Lily were born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in the Hudson Valley. They sang professionally from an early age, first on their dad Tom Chapin's children's records, which led to jobs on other children's records, including The Olson Twins "Brother For Sale" and "I am the cute one." They also sang onstage in benefit and tribute concerts honoring their uncle, the late singer and activist Harry Chapin along with other members of their family, including cousin Jen Chapin and their sister Jessica.
By 2004 all three had relocated to Los Angeles, (Lily Chapin was working on a film directed by Barbara Kopple). They began their band at the urging of their half-brother Jonathan Craven who arranged for them to record at the home studio of Michael Fitzpatrick (of the band Fitz and The Trantrums). Before they had ever played a show together or considered themselves a band, their slow, acoustic version of Britney Spears' song "Toxic" gained attention and radio play around the country, especially on by Anne Litt of Los Angeles' KCRW where it became one of the most requested songs of 2004. Following this unexpected success, The Chapin Sisters began to play concerts in Los Angeles, and the sisters also started writing music together—songs that would eventually become their first full-length album.
Fell into bed
But woke in rehab
With thighs of land
And tongue that tastes of sand
Twist in my sheets
And tangle my head
Open the door
But couldn't go nowhere
And I ran through and through
Everything I said to you
And my demons, they danced
Around bones of our romance
And I pleaded out loud
Can't we please just forget?
Like it hasn't happened yet
The morning came
The afternoon went
Another day
Without you as spent
I checked my phone
I went to the store
I wandered home
And organized my jars
And I ran through and through
Everything I said to you
And my demons, they danced
Around bones of our romance
And I pleaded out loud
Can't we please just forget?
Like it hasn't happened yet
Now you won't see me
I watch through the window
You'll look at me lying
Alone
Misunderstanding
So silly, forgive me
Forget all the words
I said, oh
Won't turn back time
Or bring you back again
And I ran through and through
Everything I said to you
And my demons, they danced
Around bones of our romance
And I pleaded out loud
Can't we please just forget?
Like it hasn't happened yet
Can't we please just forget?
Like it hasn't happened yet
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
