The Space Between
04:47
|
|||
|
Now and then
I feel lost in the time
Somehow paralyzed
Caught in the light
Between the base
And the sublime
Nothing is new
And you brought
Nothing in with you
You'll take nothing
When you're through
This is true
At time I feel
I have been here before
I recognize the door
And I tread
Upon this floor
And lost the things
That I adore
All our fears
But O! how short the years
Fill them all
With joy and tears
It's so near
The sun will rise
And sail across the sky
Giving you warmth and light
But it will pass you by
And fade into black of night
But did you know?
You can only reap what you sow
So look upon the crop you've grown
What do you see?

The Writing on the Wall
03:32

I can't walk the line cause I'm busted
I lost all I had in Tennessee
And those people I trusted
Have all up and deserted me
And it's got me to thinking
I've given much for little in return
And now that my ship is sinking
I must recall the lessons that I've learned
The world don't owe me nothing
No, not a single thing
The world don't owe me nothing
I accept the pain it brings
No, the world don't owe me nothing
But the writing's on the wall
It says, "Don't get too high
Cause then you're gonna fall"
I've seen so many dreams go up in smoke
I've seen so many lies displace the truth
Before you stands a man that's broke
Not only in wallet, but in spirit too
The world don't owe me nothing
No, not a single thing
The world don't owe me nothing
I accept the pain it brings
No, the world don't owe me nothing
But the writing's on the wall
It says, "Don't get too high
Cause then you're gonna fall"
The world don't owe me nothing
No, not a single thing
The world don't owe me nothing
I accept the pain it brings
No, the world don't owe me nothing
But the writing's on the wall
It says, "Don't get too high
Cause then you're gonna fall"
Cause then you're gonna fall

Torches

Oh Lord Jesus, help me please
And see this poor sinner who's down on his knees
He comes to you in his hour of need
Cause darkness falls on my road ahead
The water's black and the sky is red
I fear I step into a season of dread
And I see the fire in their eyes
Burning hot and believing lies
Like coals in the dark of night
They're coming now with torches held high
Coming with torches held high
Coming with torches held high
Coming with torches held high
Coming with torches held high
Evil works done before my time
I do not condone those heinous crimes
I stand atop a mountain I did not climb
But now they say the blame has come home
For another man's sins I must atone
How can I answer them? I've enough sin of my own
And I see the fire in their eyes
Burning hot and believing lies
Like coals in the dark of night
They're coming now with torches held high
Coming with torches held high
Coming with torches held high
Coming with torches held high
Coming with torches held high

Fool Enough To Try
04:01
|
|||
|
Woke up to the sound of morning rain
With nothing at hand to ease the pain
This broken body's grateful for the sound
Of the shower that's coming down
I spend my days beneath the sky
And see the days and clouds roll by
But years of work breaks a body down
And there's not much left to go around
But you'll see me in the field
In the plant, the mine, the mill
To live and pay my tax and die
But I'm still fool enough to try
Raise your kids and love your wife
Work each day to provide for life
But there's more in life to mend
Cause our last breath is not the end
I gave my soul to Jesus Christ
He promised me eternal life
His Word gives hope in every day
And He still hears us when we pray
Still, you'll see me in the field
In the plant, the mine, the mill
To live and pay my tax and die
God make me fool enough to try

Southern Gothic
05:59

Some have been waiting far too long
For the start of their song
As though if it never begins
It will never end
Some have hoped their chance would come
By that chance to lead them home
But some men walk alone
When their chance is gone
Oh don't let that be me
No don't let that be me
Oh don't let that be me
Oh Lord, don't let that be me
The ghost of the old man is waiting there
Beside your electric chair
He's waiting with a smile
To sit with you a while
Beyond the kudzu it's hard to see
If everyone is looking at me
Brows furrowed with a frown
Carrying notebooks and writing it down
Oh don't let that be me
No don't let that be me
Oh don't let that be me
Oh Lord, don't let that be me
Oh don't let that be me
No don't let that be me
Oh don't let that be me
Oh Lord, don't let that be me
Oh don't let that be me
No don't let that be me
Oh don't let that be me
Oh Lord, don't let that be me

Alabama Waltz
03:21
|
|||
|
I've been wondering since so long ago
Just what she sees in me
She's seen the good, and she's seen the bad
And the places in between
I would not leave
No, I wouldn't dare
Oh, what's a man to do?
When he's replete with a woman so sweet
He's got no cause to be blue
Red is her color, but rarely it's seen
Behind every smile a mystery
Beauty walks hand in hand with the truth
So take my hand before the night is through
And I'll dance this waltz with you
I've seen their faces and their unhappy eyes
Their hands grown tired and weak
But I no longer see them when I'm with you
Away from them we can be free
The world fades away when I look in your eyes
And here comes the growing light
Sweet laughter has chased the shadows away
As sunrise overcomes the night
Red is her color, but rarely it's seen
Behind every smile a mystery
Beauty walks hand in hand with the truth
So take my hand before the night is through
And I'll dance this waltz with you

Absalom
03:02
|
|||
|
Have I lost you, my son?
Is it too far gone?
Is there no forgiveness left?
Is the door closed from now on?
Oh Absalom!
Oh Absalom!
I know that I failed
Circumstance leaves us bereft
But is there any time
To salvage what is left?
Oh Absalom!
Oh Absalom!
You tried to take my life
You already took what was mine
I didn't do what was right
And now we both must pay the price
How beautiful, my son
And oh so far from me
Lost forever now
Hanging from a tree
Oh Absalom!
Oh Absalom!

Words I Couldn't Find
04:35
|

|
The water is like glass
Reflecting everything above
A pair of sunsets shown helps
Reminds us of the ones we love
I could watch the sun go down
And rise again after the night
There is no doubt in my mind
I could sit with you past daylight
We could talk about the things
That we never said
Like how much I miss you
Or we could just go fishing instead
If I could see you just one more time
The only words that would matter
Would be the words I couldn't find
I should have given you a big hug
Before I left that room
We thought you were getting better
The doctors said soon
This battle was given to you
And you put up a good fight
The weight was just too much
And you left us that night
We could talk about the things
That my kids have said
Like how much we miss you
Or we could just go fishing instead
If I could see you just one more time
The only words that would matter
Would be the words I couldn't find
Thank you for the lessons that you taught
And for all the battles that you fought
We could talk about the things
That we never said
Like how much I miss you
Or we could just go fishing instead
If I could see you just one more time
The only words that would matter
Would be the words I couldn't find
If I could see you just one more time
The only words that would matter
Would be the words I could not find

Stay
03:55
|
|||
|
I want you to stay
And speak with me a bit longer
We'll drink to the day
You know how fast it fades away
'Cause we're not always gonna be here
Lost, forgotten in a sea of years
Just an image in a photograph for someone to find
But we are more than memories
Or old love letters in dusty sleeves
We're more than all these useless things we leave behind
That's why I wanna stay
And let this feeling grow stronger
Time never goes away
Let's ignore it all for just one day
'Cause we're not always gonna be here
Make the most of today, my dear
We'll make the memories that we'll keep for all our lives
Can't re-live the past, or tomorrow today
But it's only frightening if you look away
We're more than all these worthless things we leave behind
And that's why I wanna stay
And speak with you a bit longer
We'll drink to the day
You know how fast it fades away
It fades away...
It fades away...
It fades away...

A House of Wood
03:13
|

|
They held a parade for me today
With lights and flowers all along the way
But I could not stay to see it through
So many things I had to do
I'd been away from my town for too long
And I'd forgotten how to sing those songs
Just as I am, without one plea
But are those tears they shed for me?
Oh, they gave me a house of wood today
It's got a padded bed, and there my head will lay
We'll save our greeting for another day
Just take me to the place I'll call my home
Goodbye, dear friends, be well, so long
But listen to my farewell song
Oh, Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Just let me hide myself in thee
Because they gave me a house of wood today
It's got a padded bed and there my head will lay
Til the end of time, another age
Just take me to the place I'll call my home
Just take me to the place I'll call my home

Sunrise Over Me
05:16
|
|||
|
When the light comes streaming through
And breaks all over you
And your eyes can finally view
The walls around you
Let the light in to finally see
Where to place the key
When you are free
Cry sunrise over me
When the rain comes down on you
Soaking through and through
Fresh as the morning dew
Making all things new
And the water washes clean
The deep wounds unseen
When you're relieved
Say sunrise over me
When there's nothing left
And you're lost in your pain
Looking within your heart will fail
So many things untold
The deep things of the soul
You're living in a self-made hell
Rise to your feet
Though you are weak
You'll never find
Unless you seek
I once lived in light of day
Til I hid from her rays
For darkness, it covers shame
Bound for the flame
But now cleansed in the flood
The water and the blood
I am free
Sunrise over Me

Black Creek Rock Gadsden, Alabama
Do you like crunchy guitar tones, thick bass, jangling piano, swelling organ and the raspy crack of the snare? If so, look no further because you've found it. This duo is from the deep south near to the muddy banks of Black Creek in Northeast Alabama. No profanity, no vulgarity, just music about subjects that are of interest to us. Thanks for visiting! ... more

I can't fully put my finger on it, but there's something in this album that makes me think of the Cramps on one hand and the Gorillaz on the other, not sure what though. I do love the direction this is headed in. A few of these are a bop like nobody seems to understand. I feel like it's relevant for how a lot of people feel these days
