This is so great, Niki. Great hook, driving sound, and really solid writing throughout.

Nice blues undercurrent. The lyrics are simple but compelling. Quite different to your other songs but I love it.

The desolate western setting really sets the Painted Desert to Boot Hill to Heaven scene while being straight to the point. It is really good.

This is absolutely lush and one of my fave kinds of folk styles. Simple, yet absolutely gorgeous as the arrangements allows the vocals to soar and carry the weight of the lyrics. Beautifully done, Niki!

Such a great old blues feel to both lyrics and music. I most definitely heard a blues harmonica here and there.

This melody has teeth in it :) In my head there's a version of this that starts identically and ends with you screaming and smash electric guitars XD

This is just perfect, so simple but so evocative in form and feel and function.

Song note: My hometown is in the midst of extreme heartache and grief. Sometimes, there really aren't words, and coherent phrasing is just... gone. Please listen with care, and if you're a praying type, please pray for Oliver, his family, and their community. 

--

sometimes, you just don't have the words
and anything more would just be for the birds
tragedy hits again
you take it in
and maybe, if you're like me, we pray

i bought flowers at the supermarket today
silly, i'm sure, 'cuz i didn't even know your name yesterday
but i know it now
so i'll sing out
it's the only thing that i've got left to say

i'm sorry this is how it ends
sorry it couldn't have been
sorry ... so inadequate ...

ooooh ooooh

Lord, have mercy on us
Lord, have mercy on us
Lord, have mercy
have mercy
