The Life

You Leave me Blue

Toney Wright-songwriter,  vocals and bass guitar
Band in a box musicians- 
Jason Roller and Toney King- acoustic guitars
Craig Scott-drums and Andy Leftwich-fiddle

The sun is slowly peeping through the curtain
sweat is beading on my brow
last night I drank away my hurtin'
it's all coming back to me now

I fell in love with you before I got to know you
I guess it's true that love is blind
but I kept thinking maybe that I could change you
the only thing I changed was my mind

and I've been lonely for so long
I'll try again with you 
knowing that it's wrong
it's so untrue
you lead me on
you leave me blue

Now here I am standing outside your door
you break my heart and I come back for more
after all the heartache you've put me through
I'm still in love with you

and I've been lonely for so long
I'll try again with you
knowing that it's wrong
it's so untrue
you lead me on
you leave me blue





You Leave me Blue

Glass House Choices

Herby Records started as a bored pandemic project between Frank Herbertson (management) and Justin Jackley (graphic design) in 2020. It was originally intended as a vehicle for Justin’s artwork and as a way to help promote our many musician friends around the world by releasing/re-releasing existing albums bearing Justin’s artwork already and making new ones. We quickly decided to set a goal of releasing 100 records over 10 years and then creating and releasing a book with a physical double 10” compilation album in 2030. We are currently well beyond the halfway point in physical releases, and this digital only free compilation album commemorates that milestone.

We would like to thank the dozens of musicians that have been a part of Herby Records for the past 5 years and allowed us to release their artistry - mostly on limited edition lathe-cut records from 13 to 25 copies and 5 releases as traditionally pressed vinyl records in editions of 100 to 200. We have worked with and are currently working with lots of great artists that create music in the genres of Psychedelic, Surf, Kraut, Doom, Drone, Punk, Dungeon Synth, and Avante-garde Experimental stuff that is often pretty “out there”. The connecting factor is that it is all music that we like! Thanks to Simon Feret (Psych9 Records) for putting up with the beast of a 70-year-old Rek-O-Kut lathe-cut machine in Guatemala and personally cutting most of our records and collaborating on and co-releasing many albums with Herby Records.

Thanks to the ongoing support of It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine for interviewing and sharing our musicians’ music and Ross Beattie (It’s Psychedelic Baby Podcast) and Salvatore Tornabene (Thee Midnight Snack) for playing our records on the airwaves.

Thank you Adam Majdecki-Janicki for being the first musician to release an album on Herby Records in 2020 under A.J. Kaufmann – ‘Stoned Gypsy Wanderer 2’ and for collaborating on so many other releases with his own record label, Via Kosmische, and for suggesting and coordinating this compilation album through the record store he works in, Wino & Winyle, in Poznań, Poland. https://winoiwinyle.bandcamp.com/

None of this could have happened without the collaboration of our friends and the support of our fans that continuously buy our records. We encourage you to follow the links to individual musician pages and buy their physical media when possible. Thanks for everything and stay tuned for the next 5 years and some more weird shit.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I crossed the Carpathian line,
A guest in a graveyard dressed as divine.
The walls all breathe, the candles weep,
The Count’s reflection, mine to keep.

He said, “I never dine,” so sweet,
Yet every word drips rot and deceit.
My ink runs thin, my pulse runs cold,
He writes himself into my soul.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
No cross, no silver, can mask his scent,
The doctor calls it maledict intent.
Each heartbeat’s just another debt,
The dead don’t sleep; they collect.

⸻

[Chorus]
When the daylight dies, you can COUNT ON IT!
Every vow’s a lie, you can COUNT ON IT!
He’s the hunger that the sun can’t quit,
Eternal night, you can COUNT ON IT!

⸻

[Verse 2]
I dreamed of crimson vows and chains,
His whisper threading through my veins.
The marks he left are not of love,
But consecrations turned corrupt.

Van Helsing prays through shaking hands,
Science bends to where faith stands.
He said, “Unclean,” as the candles burned,
And all my grace to ash returned.

⸻

[Bridge]
Stake through the heart, but aim through the sin,
For the beast you fight might live within!
The children of the night all sing,
The Count is death, the Count is king!

Cut his heart and set it free!
Cleanse the curse of destiny!
He came to London for the feast,
And left with more than just the beast…

⸻

[Final Chorus]
When the crosslight burns, you can COUNT ON IT!
Every grave returns, you can COUNT ON IT!
He’s the reason that your pulse won’t quit—
Forever cursed, you can COUNT ON IT!

When the crosslight burns, you can COUNT ON IT!
Every grave returns, you can COUNT ON IT!
He’s the reason that your pulse won’t quit (COUNT ON IT!)
Forever cursed, you can COUNT ON IT!

⸻

[Outro]
My heart beats still—
But not for me.
