Hey boys, lets go outside 

I think somethings different in the sky 

I know it's wild, but this new found light 

I know its strange but I'm not crying wolf this time 

Is telling me to follow it tonite 

Ride Donkey ride, never loose your stride, you carry precious cargo tonite 

In the eastern hills, of the Orient 

Clever men watch stars outside their tents 

Their charts could not explain this new event 

So they changed their quest to find the heaven sent 

Ride Donkey ride, never loose your stride, you carry precious cargo tonite 

In a manger where, they laid his hair 

Dark and soft as shadows in the air 

A child that the Romans soon would fear 

Ride Donkey ride, never loose your stride, you carry precious cargo tonite

The Donkey

Gothen is the music project of Evan Blades Jolley, currently based in Salt Lake City.  However, Gothen was initially conceived in 2009 while Jolley was living abroad in Norway, spending his time sheep farming and writing songs with a broken guitar and tape recorder.  Since returning home and dedicating himself to songwriting, the shape of his originally intimate music became expanded and fully realized. Creating well-crafted, thematically orchestral, dark, folk and even jazz driven songs and all led by his angelic voice that’s as delicate as it is powerful, resulting in his eponymous debut album Gothen. Like stepping into an ancient tapestry, Gothen provides a sprawling of texture, character, and color, drawing inspiration from 19th century philosophies and historic imagery, all confronting a “spiritual dilemma”.  Jolley approaches modern sounds while avoiding the gimmicks of trends, making his music topical and timeless.  From the fast paced slyness of “Overman” teeming with living noise, to the sparse and vocally powerful “AM”, Jolley’s hard work and attention to detail, pay off in the end, making his music an attractive and classic piece of 21st century music from a young, innovative songwriter.
