I am thinking of starting a series along these lines. The world is dark, it is horrible, it is filled with bands like Mumford and Sons. Sometimes, it all seems too much. Why live in a world where shit like that passes for "civilisation"???
Because there exists acts like Shovels and Rope and listening to this clip below, one of a number of YouTube clips showing full performances of the GLORIOUS country/folk/roots/Americana duo and not even the best, just the one I have listened to today, well... that is why I haven't jumped. Because there is good in the world. And it is really fucking good.
YARRRRRRRRRR
Bonus track
We're hangin here within an inch of our lives
from the day we're born until the day we die
don't it make you want to take your time
are you gonna let it pass you by
Made every way cut you like a knife
any moment in time could change your life
will you be ready with the time you got
maker is ready if your ready or not
Hangin on by a fragile thread
livin your life like your already dead
will you be happy with the time you gave
these words will be your final days...
Wish i could look death in the face
transcend both time and space
and reclaim those bygone days
that i was such a fool to waste...
When it comes my day when it comes my time
I hope to hear y'all moaning in the second life
Just throw my ashes on some hollow ground
and sing me on my way with a joyful sound
you can sing me on my way with a joyful sound
you can sing me on my way
