Some melodies just get stuck in my head and refuse to leave me alone until I get it into a song. These melodies are strong enough that words usually emerge along with them, and I won’t know what the song is about until it’s actually finished. I also wanted to give the song space to let the instruments breathe, and not feel like I had to pack a lot of words into the song.
lyrics
Steady pulse
Current flows
When you reach out
Flash of red
I lose my head
And it all goes up
Like an SOS
Can you hear me over the static humming
Electricity will it keep us running
Can you hear me over the static humming
Electricity was it all for nothing
Self-destruct
I’ll chance my luck
On a rainy day
Rewind, begin
Who really wins
When it all goes up
Like an SOS
This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
i love eilen jewell. just listened to the entire album, get behind the wheel, now going back and listening to and savoring individual tracks. her music has an indescribable beauty. it's real, honest, sweet, powerful, touching, universal. it's a special artist that can do all that and leave you coming back for more. tikibarjim
