The Good Friday Song of the Day thread
Or should that be Friday Good Song of the Day thread? Completely different meaning and a little extra pressure. Hmm, I'll stick with the topic and avoid the added requirement.
As usually happens, I've been kind of addicted to my latest comp so that's just about all that I've been listening to in the last week. But I always sit up and take notice when the third track starts cause I love the sound of Woven Hand. And his other band, 16 Horsepower. Woven Hand gives David Edwards a chance to get even more religious than normal in his lyrics, but it doesn't really get in the way for me because the sound and the lyrics are so compelling. The song on the comp is from the self-titled debut and is called "Blue Pail Fever", and I don't know what that means, but that first chorus is so great....
drift like sleep
into the hotel montana
lay low for thy names sake
el matador louisiana
Just nails me every time I hear it. You got a Good Friday one?
frozen prayer upon my lips
inside the blood runs hot
he was reviled
yet he reviled not
