Written and recorded Fall 2019 at the Purple Dynamine house. Grave Saddles on this recording are Cameron, Chris, Kevin, and Pat.

feel the heat bleeding through the walls,
watch the great big sun trickle in
i saw you, you were pacing the halls
you were looking out the door like you always do
i saw you,

and the flickering light
of the trains outside
played upon the furrows of your face,
and it left but a trace
of all the bad things inside you—
dappled and dim and fleeting,
and we could forget for awhile

you cranked down the windows
and the fall rushed in and it filled the void between us
the sky was blue behind us and cold white ahead
i was a thousand miles away from home,
i wasn’t listening to you anything you said

and the flickering light
of the trains outside
played upon the furrows of your face,
and it left but a trace
of all the bad things inside you—
dappled and dim and fleeting,
and we could forget for awhile

Gothic King Cobra

Recorded 12/19

We played this song a lot throughout 2019 in various arrangements, but we thought this one was the best in the end.

Grave Saddles on this recording are Cameron, Chris, Kevin, and Pat.

Cloudpunching

recorded at dream home in asheville, nc july 30th 2019 (the most humid + most friendly basement on earth)

dusted this ambersmoke tune off for our first tour as grave saddles. this is the 2nd to last ever performance of this version of the song as we put it to rest for good in connecticut a few days later.

always really liked this song live because when it clicks, the vibe is unreal. it definitely clicked for this performance. back in 2017 we'd close the song out vamping on some funkadelic or whatever but this 2019 version has none of that and just focuses on keeping the groove.
