"Last Day Of November" (#412, 201108)

Weren't no mobile telephones when she was growin' up
No VCRs no microwaves or credit cards
Kids respected mothers and the neighbors knew each other
And music seemed to come straight from the heart

Joe was 44 years old and Pat was 37
When they said their vows and they meant every word
Raised a couple kids up before he was called to heaven
She stuck around to help us here on earth

She's seen it all since '41 been watchin' as our world becomes
Stranger than her parents could have guessed
She's loved and lost and learned a lot 'bout what it means to walk with God
Somethin' tells me she's got no regrets

The one she loves is waitin' for her on the other side
But she's here with us tonight while we remember
The last day of November

This year's been a hard one we said goodbye to Loretta
In little old Point Pleasant West Virginia
Well times are tough but all things pass it changes like the weather
Might get better any minute

She's seen it all since '41 been watchin' as our world becomes
Stranger than her parents could have guessed
She's loved and lost and learned a lot 'bout what it means to walk with God
Somethin' tells me she's got no regrets

The one she loves is waitin' for her on the other side
But she's here with us tonight while we remember
The last day of November

Week 46a - Last Day Of November (201108)

Half of folk pop duo Cabin of Love. One-quarter of Americana band The Foragers.

We took our name from a painting by Max Ernst, which features an innocent bird menaced by a threatening forest.

This mixture of innocence and menace is present in our songs, which explore different worlds, some light and some dark. 

Our debut EP "Pleasure to Burn" came out on 15th January 2016. Critics have been very kind, praising our blend of "Spanish folk with US southern blues":  http://emergingindiebands.com/forest-dove/ 

We've also been featured in many Spanish blogs...
