lyrics

Riverside
I spent a week up north trying to get my head straight,
but I guess you can’t run from the things that you hate…
The ones that let you down, the loneliness, and the sounds
of a city that’s coughing up a sky that’s brown.
So take me down by the riverside,
where I can breathe in deep and open my eyes.
Sometimes we need a chance to look inside,
and if you don’t like what you see, you’ve got to change your mind.
… And where the road leads I’ll never know,
but no matter what, I will never let you go.
The asphalt looked soft, the faster we drove…
speeding towards a Tennessee lightning storm.
If our souls depart and we get split up in the dark,
I know that I’ll find you by that spark in your heart.
I saw a man that sailed on the seas of change,
and with the tides his strength went and came,
but his heart and his mind always rode the swell.
His body he gave, but his soul he’ll never sell.
… And where the road leads I’ll never know,
but no matter what, I will never let you go.

about

The Wild Atlanta, Georgia

What pine magazine had to say:

'The celebratory storytelling and punk-folksy delivery of this four-piece makes you wonder how such clean guitars could get your body shaking so hard. The Wild are a lot of fun, and their approach, defiant in a Bob Dylan sort of way, should give kids everywhere the feeling that they can make a difference in the world, no matter how bad things get in the interim.' ... more

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip
