Rearrange the letters, change the sign… the road don’t change, it stays the same

"A man rides into town on a golden throne, builds his walls, and seals his fate. But fortunes rise, fortunes fall—what’s left when the ink runs red?"

Solomon Pines' "The Tariff Man" is a haunting folk ballad about power, greed, and the price of ambition. The song tells the story of a man who thought he could shape the world through tariffs and trade, only to watch his empire crumble beneath him.

Driven by dark Americana storytelling, ghostly steel guitar, and cinematic folk instrumentation, The Tariff Man is a tale of wealth built on sand and debts no coin can pay. A song for the fallen kings, the lost fortunes, and the ghosts that keep the ledger.

The Tariff Man

"Ain’t got a map, but I got a song—I'll hum it loud and hum it long."

Not all roads are meant for running away. Miles to Go is a song about motion, freedom, and the joy of the open road—the feeling of wind in your hair and dust on your boots, with nowhere to be but forward.

With driving acoustic guitar, rolling percussion, and a touch of fiddle weaving through the melody, Solomon Pines shakes off the weight of the past and sings like a man with nothing to lose and everything ahead of him. A song for the restless, for the dreamers, for the ones who keep moving.

Miles To Go

"Good men fall just the same as thieves… some from hunger, some from dreams."

Some men fall to greed. Some to love. Some just run out of time. Good Men Fall is a song about the weight of consequence—about how no man, no matter how strong, escapes the fall.

With a slow, stomping rhythm, deep outlaw folk guitar, and weeping slide notes in the distance, Solomon Pines delivers a song that feels more like a warning than a melody. It’s the sound of boots on dust, of judgment waiting at the end of the road.

Good Men Fall

"There’s a house by the river where I never stayed… a woman inside with my name that she never took."

A song about the life that never was. House by the River is the sound of regret drifting downstream, of roads not taken and doors never knocked on. It’s about the love that could have been, the home never built, and the way time moves on whether we’re ready or not.

With gentle fingerpicked guitar, ghostly violin, and hushed, weary vocals, Solomon Pines sings of a place he never stayed, a love he never held, and a past that feels as distant as the horizon. Some things fade before they shine.

House By The River

"Round and round, the wheel don’t stop… some roads end, but I forgot."

A man with no map. A name that don’t belong to him. Lonesome Spin is a song about moving forward but never arriving, about feeling like you’ve been here before but not knowing why. It’s a slow turn of the wheel, a road with no end, a truth just out of reach.

With rolling acoustic guitar, ghostly slide notes, Solomon Pines sings of a life caught between past and present. And if you listen close, there’s something hidden in the dust—a name, a game, a puzzle in the wind.

Lonesome Spin

"Oh, the dust still clings, but it don’t feel real… Boots still walk, but I don’t need heels."

A drifter with no map. A town that don’t remember him. No Roads Back is a song about walking forward with no way to turn around—about places that change, people that disappear, and a name that don’t stick.

With rolling acoustic guitar, haunting steel notes, and vocals worn thin by the wind, Solomon Pines sings of roads that stretch too far and pasts that fade too fast. Some men settle. Some men stay. And some just keep moving ‘til the road runs flat.

No Roads Back

It’s just stories. Stories about those who built too high and fell too far. About debts you can’t pay with gold. About the weight one carries when the dust settles and the silence sets in.

I don’t sing to be heard. I sing because some things don’t let you sleep otherwise.

Lonesome Spin
