I have been looking at a lot of American Civil war videos lately and was inspired to write this.
Its also a little old time gospel mix as-well.
All comments welcome.

Run

Oh lets gather on the ridges to watch the city burning down.
Oh yes we'll climb the tallest hill sides to watch those ashes mound.

So run and tell your nearest neighbor so they can worn their neighbors who.
Can run and reach the tallest mountains and they can be safe too.

Ther'l be casim's in the ground fire all around great agitation of the sea.
Take my withered hand I'll try my best I can to stand we'll be shaken like the leaves on a tree

For you will be so truly thankful not ever you ventured into town.
Or you'd be looking to the ridges and hear those retchard canines howl.

Now let me worn you what will happen if words of wisdom you not heed.
Youl down among'st the burning city and on the cold earth bleed.

Ther'l be casim's in the ground fire all around great agitation OF the sea.
Take my withered hand I'll try my best to stand we'll be shaken like the leaves on a tree

Ther'l be casim's in the ground fire all around great agitation In the sea.
Take my withered hand I'll try my best to stand we'l be shaken like the leaves on a tree

Therl be casim's in the ground fire all around great agitation OF the sea.
Take my withered hand I'll try my best to stand we'll be shaken like the leaves on a tree

The music and lyrics are both very good, but they are an odd pairing. The music sounds very celebratory and the lyrics are very dark. It is certainly a very interesting approach. Mix and vocals are excellent!! Enjoyed this! Take care. Greg

Another great tune! You are on a roll!

You have such a unique sound - perfect choice of tracks, great vocals and BGVs, and a great mix (from what I can hear on my earbuds.

You are totally believable as a bluegrass band, and the vocals are vintage excellent! I like the little BG vocal echoing near the end smile I might make the banjo and fiddle breaks a bit up in the mix, but otherwise just sounds great!

Great listen, and you have mastered the ability to channel the American musical past.

Hi Rob,
that was a really pleasant listening, and I liked your voice very much. Not to mention the mandolin, which fits rather good to the whole picture !

Take care,

well done! Entertaining and disturbing at the same time! ( : Very enjoyable listen! Almost makes me think of Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden which is about Native Americans being attacked by invaders (I think)
