Cover art for The Barrel lyrics by Aldous Harding

Absolute guess but from what she wears in the video, the many references to water and a barrel. Annie Edson Taylor comes to mind, the dress is very similar if you image search the name. She survived going over Niagara falls in a barrel.

My Opinion

@JustAHunch The song reminds me so much of Niagara Falls. Barrels and water, people died doing that, they were obsessed to do go over the edge (Can a ferret resist an egg?). Its also an area where until the last 5 years or so was a major peach growing region. In mid summer all of a sudden peaches are everywhere. White doves and mantles, well lots of people get married at Niagara falls or go there for a honeymoon. Getting married and having kids puts a commitment there: orderly and restraining like a braid restrains hair. Love the song!...
