Handwritten Lyrics from the 2025 UK Tours

FRONT - "Finally life..."

BACK - "as it should have been" across the shoulders

PLUS - "Throwing Muses" handwritten on the bottom of the back

🎵 A crazy idea in my head...

I had always had this idea about lyrics handwritten by Kristin Hersh, initially, because I really wanted some lyrics as a tattoo, but I couldn't shake the idea that they needed to be in her beautifully illegible hieroglyphs and it occurred to me that if I wanted this, maybe other people did too. I'm still a little blown away that she actually said yes. So this thing that started as a crazy idea in my head, finally came out into the world... and it really has been a beautiful thing.🖤

✍️ Handwritten by Kristin Hersh for ElRat Designs

These lyrics were handwritten by Kristin Hersh, especially for ElRat Designs, during the Throwing Muses UK tours in 2025. "Finally life..." flows across the front, with "as it should have been" across the shoulders on the back, plus "Throwing Muses" handwritten at the bottom. We have lots more things coming. Keep checking back, or join the mailing list. Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time, helping to keep her in the studio where she belongs.

🖤I am a real human and Hersh listener

I listen to a lot of Hersh music, and I feel a connection to that music that it is very difficult to explain.

Throwing Muses Hook in her Head t shirt

Feels that little bit more genuine buying from someone who supports Kristen’s philosophy on music and life in general. Great product , I’ll wear it with pride knowing the appreciation and authenticity that produced it.

Thank you so much for your kind review. The support of real Hersh Listeners means everything to me, and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to help people support her work. You are amazing! El

Great Throwing Muses merch

It was great to meet you at the Liverpool gig. The key ring and T-shirt I bought are superb - original and great quality. It’s also great to be buying from someone that is working cooperatively with the band rather than ripping everyone off. What’s not to like?! Your business is great and I recommend the Throwing Muses products highly.

It was really great to meet you too! Thank you so much for your kind words. I am very happy that you like the things you bought, your support means everything. We are creating a beautiful thing here, and you are very much a part of that! Thank you! El

Thank you so much, I made this shirt for myself a long time ago, but was convinced that there would be a copyright issue on the image, so I didnt do anything with it. When I eventually did check with The One Kristin Hersh, I was surprised, and happy to discover that she owns it. Very happy to finally be able to bring this to the world.

I'm pleased you like it. I must confess to being quite proud of how this shirt turned out. When I drew it, I never really believed it would look as good as I thought it should, once it was printed on the shirt, very happy to be wrong about that. Thank you, for your kindness!
