Digital FORT: Arlo Parks turns “Eugene” into a spoken word poem

The story behind the song of the same name.

Digital FORT Day 1 is now over, and this video has been removed from The FADER.

South London-based singer and poet Arlo Parks's latest single "Eugene" is a bittersweet look at inconvenient love, but the spoken word version of the track that she submitted to Digital FORT is a different beast. It comes off as the story behind the song, still about a friend who becomes more than that, but more detailed and affecting in new ways.
