about

I wrote this song on May 17, 2016 which was the day Guy Clark died and also mine and Sarah’s 13th wedding anniversary. I gave it kind of a cowboy feel and the lyrics tangle through truth, love, and death. Around the time of this recording a friend sent me a track to listen to off an R.E.M. record from 1996 called New Adventures In High-Fi. I had never heard this record and was blown away. Huge distorted guitars, tight rhythm section, and Stipe’s vocal soaring over the top. Now I had a direction for the recording and brought on longtime Dyrty Byrds bass player Mike “Spanky” McCluer (also plays on Rooming House) and couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out. Micah Munro as usual sends it in to the stratosphere with her backing vocals.

lyrics

Death Don’t Discriminate

Death don’t discriminate
It sure don’t come with hate
It’s a truth we can believe in

Death don’t discriminate
Far away I hope you wait
From all my friends and all my blood kin

I don’t believe that theirs a god
Hiding in the heavens
Till’ you took my hand and away we sailed
Praying for some wind
Lost in the sun
Drowning in the rain
Your smile is waiting
As a lover and a friend

Death didn’t discriminate
Through all the lives I had to wait
For you to be dancin’ where I was drinkin’

Death won’t discriminate
Through future lives or 1,000,000 days
We’re hooked up with no releasing
