Brilliant song, Paul - and I found the article fascinating, too, about this brave man. It was tragic that it cost him his marriage - taking down this drug baron - and also affected his health due to the drinking - but I can imagine those were very stressful times when he was trying to get that case prepared and through the court system.

Having another listen - really good song, Paul :-)

A very nice song, as always the own style is clearly audible.

Lovely songwriting guitar lyrics and arrangement. Very relatable!!

Love the sparse vibe to this tune.  Great progressions.

In a small town near Barcelona is the Gaudí´sCrypt. These are some photos of my visit and the music that inspired me.

GAUDI´S CRYPT

Lyrics below.  Here is the story behind this song:

SHAKESHAFT

What do we know, not too much
How the bottle became a crutch
He couldn't get past
He told stories in the neighborhood
About the times he did good
Taking on the wolf pack

He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft

He took them down in a court of law
Only to win, not to draw
He gave up on that path
He lived in town in a corner loft
The demons came and then they'd claw
Right up on his back 

He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft

When he was running, when he was holding
The wind would advance
It would blow in and take a hold in his mind and his hands
He tried to resist it, but he would miss it and everything would crash

What do we know, not too much
How the bottle became a drug
He couldn't walk back

He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He's at peace at last

Je pense que le titre dit tout, avec ces montées de chaleur extrême.

I think the title says it all, with those extreme heat rushes.
