Here is the title track from the debut album from Penelope's Thrill, just released on Bandcamp (and Spotify, etc.). This album has been a labor of love, recorded and mixed over the past lockdown year in my tiny home studio (Yew Tree Studios).
You can find the complete 18-track album now on Bandcamp:

The inspiration for the album actually came from the accidental necessities of the pandemic: On my regular trips down to my 88-year-old mother, who lives about an hour south of Madison, to bring groceries and supplies, I'd always drive home on the winding backroads, usually hitting Tunnel Road at sunset (see album photo). That route is now engraved on my mind: Marshall Bluff Road to Exeter Crossing Road, to Tunnel Road to Argue Road. This route roughly follows the very edge of the "Driftless" Region of Wisconsin, that is the area that was not covered by the glaciers during the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago. So along this route there are all sorts of rock outcroppings, drumlins, and other glacial artifacts, and you can often see the actual line where the glacier stopped. The area has a charged spiritual feeling, especially at twilight--a "thin place," as the Irish would say.
Anyway, week after week, month after month, the songs came to me as I drove back along this stretch and imagined the lives of Lonnie and Chloe (the focus of the album). I even picked out the exact farms where they lived....

For more about the album, including dozens of stunning photos of the region, check out the new Penelope's Thrill website, just launched in concert with the album:

Main guitars on this track are a Gretsch 5422T with a custom made solid brass bridge (which gives it a pretty unique tone) and a Gretsch 5622T (hitting the Bigsby).
LYRICS:
“Twilight on Tunnel Road”	
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

She was walking just to clear her head one night—
the sun was setting in the west.
She felt something in her soul was just not right.
She kept on walking on a quest.

She was walking and she…she was breathing and she…
looked at the sky, it was aflame.

Took her shoes off and walked barefoot through the grass.
The air it tasted like champagne.
Felt the wind run its fingers through her hair.
She wasn’t felling any pain.

She was walking and she…she was breathing and she…
realized she’d never be the same.

Walking out in twilight on Tunnel Road—
she don’t know it, but she’s walking into dreamtime 
in the night.
Walking out in twilight on Tunnel Road—
She can’t see it, but she’s walking toward the light.

She smells something that smells just like gingerbread.
She tastes nutmeg on her tongue.
It reminds her of the Christmasses she’s fled,
the innocence when she was young.

She was running and she…she was thinking and she…
never realized her name.

She was walking and she…she was breathing and she…
she knew that darkness was her name.

Twilight On Tunnel Road

This one's for all the mamas. My kid has been throwing a lot of fits lately and this is mostly about that. I thought snotty pop/rock really captured that frenzied emotional state best. Between myself, my toddler, and my baby... everybody wants a piece of mama.

I want it, I need it
Give it to me now
I’m about to scream
I’m about to shout
I’m cracking, I’m shaking
I’m breaking up bad
It’s driving me cr azy
It’s driving me mad

I like it, I love it
There’s nothin’ else above it 
I gotta have it all 
Not just a piece of it
I’m begging, I’m pleading 
You got me on my knees
Mama please

I want it so bad
It’s driving me mad
I want it so bad that 
I can’t take it anymore

I’m itching, I’m aching 
I feel it in my bones
I’m Jonesing like a junkie
Come on help me shake this monkey
I’m hungry, I’m starving
I need it right now
Put it in my hands 
Pu-pu-pu-put it in my mouth

Can’t you hear me? Can’t you see me?
Am I getting through to you?
I gotta have it now 
Or I don’t know what I’ll do
I’m dying, I’m dead
You’re such a little tease 
Mama please
 
I want it so bad
It’s driving me mad
I want it so bad that 
I can’t take it anymore

Tic toc, knock knock  
Give the dog a bone
I’m a pipe bomb
I’m about to explode
I’m buggin’, I’m buzzin’
I’m a hurricane of bees
Mama please

I want it so bad
It’s driving me mad
I want it so bad that I can taste it
If I can’t have it I will break it
I want it so bad that I can’t take it anymore

So Bad

Myrh had been preparing for this meeting for a long time. The man, whom everyone called only "The Beast", came to the settlement in which she was the ruler. The beast was known for always collecting exorbitant tribute from all villages, and he did not care how people would live after he left.
Myrh treated him to a joint, and then he began to talk about money, and His face gradually began to resemble a pig's snout. Myrh answered him about the farmers. No money, no food. No food, no farmers. No farmers - no money! Ferstein?

And he understood.

This song is about the way many people are blinded by the red sun of capitalistic influence, regarding the dollar as a sign of wealth and happiness while ignoring the social disparity in society and between societies.
