about

"I'm a long time comin', I'll be a long time gone" she coos in my ear,
a featherless name, down in the village,
wipin' sweat off the streets,
makin' Jesus' bed up for dyin'."

lyrics

Honey get the hell outta Texas
Honey, I been waitin' too long
Honey, get the hell outta Texas
Shoulda learned better, shoulda known you don't belong

Honey, my bed is restless.
Honey, my head's a breaking storm.
Honey, my bed is restless-
and you been reckless since the day I was born

"I ain't seen ya since summer passed."
"I ain't seen you since summer last."
"I ain't seen ya since this town's been dry."
"I ain't seen ya since Hannah died."

Honey, find the next train & catch it
Honey, come fill my lonesome arms
Honey, find the next train & catch it
Lord knows they ain't never made a love like ours.

이산: This Mountain
by 이산 / Seth Martin

Seth is a great song-writer and collector. This music is dark, but precise. It is enraged, but studious. It doesn’t tell, it shows. This is one of the most interesting albums I've ever heard. Forrest VanTuyl

Water Weird

I’ve been looking for this band! Psychedelia at its absolute finest......it takes its time, spacious interludes abound, and lots of atmosphere. Interesting tidbits here and there, distorted, pleasing vocals. They obviously don't take themselves too seriously either, but man, this is the real tripped out serious deal. I am hooked.
