Cover art for Top Muse: a torn-paper collage of a gold sculpted face with red lips rising like the sun out of a bank of cloud, over a peach sea striped in blue with an island and palm tops along the shore

Top Muse

Top Muse is about Amanda Kurt's life as a nude model for the renowned Chilean painter Guillermo Lorca, and the life that came with it, which she calls being a "top muse". A bilingual indie rock song, English choruses and Spanish verses, it follows a girl from a cold city who grew up without parents and turned up one day as a painting on the cover of a Mariana Enriquez book.

Lyrics

Intro

It sounds like she’s the top muse.

It sounds like she’s the top, she's the top, she's the top.

It sounds like she’s the top muse.

It sounds like she’s the top muse.

Esta es la historia de una chica fuera de lugar

Esta es la chica que creció sin padre y sin mamá.

She has some issues. She has some issues

She has some issues. She has some issues

Chorus

No no no no.

She doesn't want to leash her dogs. To leash her dogs.

No no no no.

She doesn't want to leash her dogs. To leash her dogs.

Instrumental

Phrase 2

Ella es de una fría ciudad

Es una chica de postal

She’s the top. She’s the top.

Ella es de una fría ciudad

Es una musa accidental

She’s the top. She’s the top.

Hace un tiempo me la encontré como portada de Mariana Enriquez.

Chorus 2

No no no no.

She doesn't want to leash her dogs. To leash her dogs.

No no no no.

She doesn't want to leash her dogs. To leash her dogs.

No no no no.

She doesn't want to leash her dogs. To leash her dogs.

No no no no.

She doesn't want to leash her dogs. To leash her dogs.

Interlude

You can call us hippy, I don’t really.

I don’t really care.

You can call us hippy, I don’t.

I don’t really care.

You can call us hippy, I don’t.

I don’t really care. I don’t really care.

You can call us hippy, I don’t.

I don’t really care. I don’t really care. I don’t really care.

Outro

It sounds like she’s the top muse.

The line being sung lights up while the song plays.
