Sharon Van Etten has a voice that could make angels weep.

This is her simply stunning contribution to the Music For The Builder compilation, a collection of songs coinciding with the upcoming film The Builder, and released by Jagjaguwar on 27 July.

It is called I Couldn’t Save You, and it is languid, lonely and desolate. Just about as stark a heartbreaker as you could imagine.
