An experimental piece of instrumental rock music. This song was inspired by the film Only Lovers Left Alive, and by the climate crisis. It’s one of the songs on the new Trent Boswell album, Something in the Air, available on June 8th.

Adaptation

I searched high and low, trying to find 
A little comfort and peace of mind 
Of all the places I’ve been, I have to say 
This is the one where I’d most like to stay 

Tracing over all my memory 
I can’t recall any place I’d rather be 
So many places, so many names 
So many dreams that went up in flames 

I’ve thought it over and I can’t deny 
Your arms feel like a nice, quiet place to die 
You feel like a nice, quiet place to die 
I’ll wait right here and let it all pass by

Search all you want but you’ll never see
A place that’s always trouble free 
This is as good as it ever gets to be 
This right here, you and me 

I’ve thought it over and I won’t lie
Your arms feel like a nice, quiet place to die 
You feel like a nice, quiet place to die 
I’ll wait right here and watch it all pass by

A nice, quiet place to die 
A nice, quiet place to die 
A nice, quiet place to die 
Let it all pass on by

A Nice, Quiet Place To Die

Lyrics for God Willin’ by Trent Boswell 

Devil jump on ya
when you least expect it
with blood lust in his eyes
but you’ll pull through
like you always do…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise

Tax man poundin’ hard on your door
taking everything your money implies
without turning to crime,
you‘ll survive on a dime… 
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise

The rivers can flood
And the levies break
But you know you gonna do
Whatever it takes
God willin’

Shacked up for love, but it didn’t work out
ain’t it painful when the love all dies?
but you’ll get off the street 
and find someone sweet…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise

Until the Lord himself
Knocks you off your feet
You keep on swingin’
And you can’t be beat
God willin’

Screaming Boss Man Jack, ‘bout to 
break your back
all your time out the window flies
you just smile and pick up his slack
because one day, you’ll get him back… 
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise

To pay your bills, you need a little scratch
so you borrow from Frankie 
but there’s just one catch:
Frankie is one of them connected type guys

The juice is steep but you better not renege
less’n you want ol’ Frank to break your leg
but you just know you’ll pay it off… 
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise

Drowning sorrows, feelin’ bereft
you done lost a friend 
and didn’t have but one left
and now that joker’s runnin’ around town,
spreading rumors and lies

Such a double crossin’ can’t happen twice
because after all, most folks is nice;
at least, that is…
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise
Show ‘em a whole army 
Can’t ring your bell
The devils, cheats and liars
They can all go to hell
God willin’

God Willin'

Lyrics for “White Elephant” by Trent Boswell, from the album, Something in the Air:

If I’d known all of this, back then,
I’d have learned how to leave 
Arguing for something 
In which you never believed
Hidden beneath gifts and gestures 
And a sexy smile 
Promises of forever,
Dipped in poison and guile
“Nothing is wrong.”
A comforting lie you could sell
And I vaguely recall something about 
Good intentions in hell

The dark witch’s oracle warned,
I shouldn’t let you pass
I taught myself to trust your love 
And it bit me in the ass
White elephant on the bed
Whispers softly,
“Come hide in the silence 
Of secrets and shadows, with me.”

Mocked me at every chance,
Made sure everyone heard 
For cruelty such as this,
I’m not sure that I know the word
Revenge is ill-suited to love 
And so, I decline 
The idea that mercy is weakness 
Is yours and not mine 
The way you spit venom 
At those who tried to help you 
I’ve no need to raise my bitten hand,
Your destroyer is you 

The dark witch’s oracle warned,
I shouldn’t let you pass
I taught myself to trust your love 
And it bit me in the ass
White elephant on the bed
Whispers softly,
“Come hide in the silence 
Of secrets and shadows, with me.”

“Come hide in the silence 
Of secrets and shadows, with me.”

White Elephant

Lyrics for “Blood in the Glass” by Trent Boswell, from the album Something in the Air 

You’d only call it a disaster 
If you were trying extra hard to be nice 
But all the niceties were 
Crushed up for the mix drinks 
Because the party was all out of ice 

Hush, little baby.. don’t you bitch, now 
We’ve laid waste to all your pesky fears
Just listen to the soft voice of certain death 
How it whispers such sweet things in your ears

I woke this morning to the sweet sounds
Of everything falling apart 
I can’t find the glue, anywhere I look 
And I know better than to look in my heart 

Doom arrived late night at the soirée
As I passed by, I kicked it in the clutch
I wasn’t mad at all about what it planned to do 
Only that a few, it wouldn’t touch 

Gentleman and ladies all line up now 
To stab the eyes, each one has a go
Don’t waste your breath, explaining to them how
They only blind themselves… they already know 

   Don’t stop the show, it’s all too much fun 
   Admission price is all the useful parts
   We sold it all off, dirt cheap, no reservations 
   And long ago, we emptied out our hearts 

I remember sunny days and bird songs 
But all these things are swiftly brushed aside 
For the sounds of ourselves, 
The images of others;
Both from which, we vainly seek to hide 

I found a thousand beautiful reasons 
Then, was told I needed one thousand and one 
Things like joy, a heart full of kindness,
A chameleon face and a gun 

Blood in the glass, broken glass on the ground 
Broken glass and blood on the blade 
Note the irony with a wry, little smile 
It’s the finest contribution that I’ve made 
Watch the smoke rising, a sigh of contentment 
The finest contribution that I’ve made 

It’s getting much harder to keep it all down 
Throwing it away might be smart
When all of it is burned, black, full of poison
Most especially in the heart 

I woke this morning to the sweet sounds
Of everything falling apart 
I can’t find the glue, anywhere I look 
And I know better than to look in the heart 

We all know there’s nothing 
There to find, in our hearts

Blood In The Glass

Lyrics for “Slumber” by Trent Boswell, from the album, Something in the Air

Sand filling up the tired eyes 
All things fall now into slumber 
Drifting down on hazy memories 
Of many bright things when we were younger 

Falling, from the trembling hands
Long, forgetful dance of forever 
I thought for a moment, of you 
Of how you smiled and said “Never”

Sing to me one more time, softly 
That sweet tune of all this 
So when I close my eyes to wander
The thing I recall will be your kiss

Listen now for the footsteps 
Of what draws closer to claim
A boundary, too clear to miss 
Even when you try hard not to aim

Wonderful it was, full of wonder
Nothing speaks so plain
Sparks drifting into endless space
Stillness throughout all these remains

Plucked a bright star out of the darkness 
Watched it flicker, as long as I could 
Nothing holds this light forever 
Everything goes as it should 

Sing to me, one more time, so softly 
That sweet, sweet tune of all this 
So when I close my eyes to wander
The last thing I know is your kiss

Slumber

A psychedelic take on “Full Moon Song,” one of the other tracks on my album, Something in the Air. The reprise version is a complete, psychedelia remix of every instrument on the track, complete with bask-masked vocals and strange visitors from the HD1 Galaxy, beings whose bodies are comprised entirely of sound waves. 

This version makes a *little* bit more sense if you listen to “Full Moon Song” first. However, the reprise is strange, regardless of which wet noodle you try to slice it with.

Full Moon Reprise (Lunar Eclipse)

Lyrics for “Full Moon Song” by Trent Boswell, from the album, Something in the Air 

Sometimes I find out things about me
Just a little bit more than I’d ever want to know
Kind of put a damper on a real good mood
Just when I was sure I was on a roll

I was sure I was

In the face of greatness, we often feel small
Yeah, the Full Moon, she spits in my eye
And wouldn’t we all just love to know
Ooh, yeah... exactly why 

I know I would 

I look for answers in the other dimensions
I listen for stories that cannot be told
I seek someone to take my confessions
And if there is no one, then I want control

God knows, I could use some control

Control

If you could only see what I saw 
You’d surely say that I’d lost my mind
But I know it’s true that all are one and one is all
I’ve seen it going on, all the time

Anyway you turn the question, 
It cannot be answered
But anyway you turn the answer, 
It cannot be questioned
I took a toothless profession in cancer
On a slighted word, best not to mention

No, no

And I look for answers in the other dimensions
I listen for stories that cannot be told
And I’ll do anything for direction 
Anything short of sell my soul 

If I’ve got one to bargain away 

Away 

Away

Full Moon Song

Lyrics for “Something Like A Rainbow” by Trent Boswell, from the album, Something in the Air 

Lost and alone and wandering 
Finding a true friend there, in the rain
Hold fast, together
Warmth in a lover’s arms
Loving each other heals the pain 

A soft and gentle light, to lead the way 
Something like a rainbow 

So many things we were told we’d see
Most of them never came to be 
But no one can explain the redeeming grace 
That shines from the light in your face 

A soft and gentle light, it leads the way 
Something like a rainbow 

And it shines into forever 
Walk in its light, into forever 

So many things we were told we’d see
Most of them never came to be 
Still, no one can explain the redeeming grace 
That shines when a smile is upon your face 

A soft and gentle light, it leads the way 
Something like a rainbow 
Soft and gentle light, it leads the way 
Something like a rainbow

And its light goes into forever 
Ride the light into forever
