Dyl
Two years ago my friend Mathias and I rehearsed songs for a tribute to Mark Lanegan (1964-2022). We produced an EP, under the name "The Gravediggers", and it's available on all streaming platforms. Among the songs we've done, I reworked this one over the last months. It's kinda dark. About grief, addiction, pain, or whatever can hurt you. I hope I did it justice. All instruments, vocals, mix and mastering by moi.

Lyrics
The stars and the moon
Aren't where they're supposed to be
For the strange electric light
It falls so close to me
Love I come to the ride
I'm not sea sick, rolling wave
And you know that I am
Just trying to get out

Oh the glorious sound
Oh the one way street
But you can't get ...
Can't get it down without crying

When I'm dressed in white
Send roses to me
I drink so much sour whiskey
I can hardly see
And everywhere I've been
There's a well that howls my name
From the one tiny sting
To that vacant fame

Oh the deafening roar
Remember that's called a one way street
And you can't get ...
Can't get it down without crying

Mysteries aside
You can't get out
In a psychotropic light
You can't get out
Love I come to the ride
I'm not sea sick, rolling wave
As a way that I fall
Trying to get out

Oh the glorious sound
Of the one way street
And you can't get ...
Can't get it down without crying

Oh the deafening roar
It's called a one way street
And you can't get ...
Can't get it down without crying

This reminds me of Nick Cave with its dark undertones.

Very powerful. Love the guitar sound and the overall production, which reminds me a little of The National (one of my favorites). Of course, your vocals are superb.
