I have been very productive though: been writing songs and playing music, working, making collages...you know, the usual thing i guess.
I'm going to post some new songs here for you to enjoy.
There's also alot of stuff coming up in Kingston so I'll talk about those events and things in the next few weeks i hope.
My band, JukeBox County, is playing a show in Kingston (at the mansion) on Sept 7th with two out of town bands and then in Ottawa on Sept 15th at Cafe Dekcuf with The Guilty Minds....that will be a good one!!!
Come out t oone of those shows if you are in either of those towns!!
This is a gospel-type, kinda darker song. I started writing it at the Blue SKies Festival (which was awsome) during a gospel workshop there. I had to walk away and find a quiet area 'cause this song came into my head and I had to go with it... enjoy!
Mommas headin’ out
Mommas goin down to the crossroads
Gonna make a deal for us all
mommas headin’ down to the crossroads
Says we’re missin’ his call
Well a sacrifice
Won’t make it right
But the devil’s got us in his sight
One by one to the crossroads
And mommas settin’ out tonight
Don’t you throw that life away
don’t you head on out tonight
dark days run astray
‘Til we learn to embrace the light
‘Til we learn to embrace the light
John’s headin’ out to the dark-house
Shake the demons outta his head
Gonna find refuge at the dark-house
That’s what the preacher said
Gonna sell his soul
Just to pay the toll
Cold rock walls, means to console
A quick fix up at the darkhouse
But Johnny won’t be comin’ home
Don’t you throw that life away
don’t you head on out tonight
dark days run astray
Til we learn to embrace the light
Til we learn to embrace the light
Unholy men, they preach beliefs
They seed the fields to kill the thief
And in their eyes, they catch the sky
Turnin’ round to find the past is blind
Pappas headin’ down to the cellar
Grabbing his rifle and cross
Dusty bible lies hidden in the cellar
Then through fields of dewy moss
Well he’ll hunt him down
Like a crazed blood hound
make his way to the underground
Pappa’s gone huntin’ for the devil
‘aint stoppin’ ‘til momma’s found
Don’t you throw that life away
don’t you head on out tonight
dark days run astray
Til we learn to embrace the light
Til we learn to embrace the light
thats all for now
