Hi, all—

I spent a few weeks traveling in July and early August and came back thoroughly unmotivated with regards to music making. Here’s hoping this song (that I largely recorded this weekend) gets me kick-started a bit. A solo effort I penned recently (darker and different thematically than my usual fare), but it took a bit to find the right BIAB sound. This seems pretty close. Not sure I nailed the mix, so as always looking forward to your feedback and suggestions. Hope you are all doing well—

Here’s the song:

ANGEL'S FALLING

Here are the lyrics:

Empty street, rainy night
A boy beneath the corner light
He hangs his sign
And bides his time

Headlights flash the darkling sky
A roll of cash, a wanting eye
And he just smiles
He’ll be warm in a while

Paint your eyes
Angel’s falling down
Through devil skies
Angel’s falling down
Hear the sound
Of an angel falling

City push, city shove
Not much worse than where he was
Broken life, broken love

Another trick, a cheap motel
One more trip to Sodom’s hell
But it’s alright
He’ll be high tonight

See him curled up on the street
The sidewalk for his bed
People passing by his feet
And they don’t stop to wonder why
And he don’t stop to wonder why
All he wants to do is fly

And here’s the band:
