about

This track contains some of my personal favorite moments of my recording career. There were no overdubs. This is what it sounded like. I tried to record this song many times over the years...and on this particular take, JD Simo's guitar goes way out of tune as the character comes home to die. This captures the performance of a great day in the studio. January 29...we recorded 6 of the songs from this album on that one day. This particular tune had zero structure. We are going for it. This is what came out.

lyrics

When you leave town
When you leave town you better leave for good
Said when you leave town when you leave town when you leave town
You better leave for good
And leave alone, like you know you should

And on the second day on the second day
On the second day you meet a girl
Too soon, too soon, too damn soon
She got up and ran
Left you sleeping with a pinecone in your hand

Never more, never more, never more will you be tied down
No, never more, never never more will you be locked down
You travel light, from town to town to town
Town to town to town

You come back home, people come back home
People come back home like they always do
They come back home like you always do
You come back home then they bury you
You come back home and they bury you
They bury you, they bury you, they will bury you

I was on tour with Darrin. This is a recording of his set on the last night of the tour. A great set from an excellent songwriter. Tim Easton

Age of Apathy

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
