    A modern folk album inspired by graveyards, sea shanties and spaghetti western ride outs. A shadowy voice tells bittersweet stories of love and death to a soundtrack, composed with both traditional instruments and subtle electronics, somewhere between Appalachian folk-rock and a Morricone musical.

about

A story of a graveyard where you can let pain out.

lyrics

WHERE THE CROWS SLEEP THERE IS A GRAVEYARD. IT’S DOWN PAST THE ORCHARD. THEY SAY IT IS HAUNTED AND THE SPIRITS CAN HELP YOU. THE MIST IT JUST HANGS THERE AND COVERS THE TROUBLE WITHIN. YOU CAN WHISPER YOUR SECRET AND MAKE IT REAL. AND TELL ME IT ENDS HERE. THERE IS A GRAVESTONE. IT’S DOWN WHERE THE CROWS SLEEP. THE TOMB IT SAYS NOTHING. THERE’S SOMETHING OF YOU THAT LIES BENEATH. SOMETIMES I COULD DIE HERE. SO I CAN BE WITH MY DREAMS AGAIN. I JUST WANT TO SAY IT OUT LOUD. JUST ONCE. TO MAKE IT REAL. AND TELL ME ENDS HERE. SHE WENT DOWN TO THE GRAVEYARD ALONE THAT NIGHT BECAUSE THE WINTER HAD SET DEEP INTO HER HEART. SHE’D HEARD PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HELL LIKE IT WAS AN OLD FABLE. JUST A STORY FROM THE BIBLE. BUT SHE KNEW HELL WAS REAL. WHEN THERE’S NOTHING IN YOUR HEART ANYMORE. YOU ARE HELL. AND SHE ALSO KNEW THAT NOTHING WAS GOING TO CHANGE INSIDE UNTIL SHE OPENED HER HEART TO THE SPIRITS AND BEGAN TO SPEAK. AND TELL ME IT ENDS HERE.
