Rezo

Conjure me a future put the present in the past

It feels like Armageddon here I sure hope it don’t last 

I waved at my poor mother  and I spoke to my old friend

I dreamt about my brother and a time when this would end 

CHORUS 

I saw you ISOLATE

But I cant touch and I can’t taste

Footprints on the pavement and footprints on the sand

If they were left there by Lord Jesus then by Christ I wilI be damned

We talk about the weather  and we talk about disease 

We talk about the human cost and the families bereaved

CHORUS 

I thought about the mountain and I thought about the sea

I know I can’t see neither ‘till we end this misery

But I have faith in the clocktower and I believe in me 

And a time when I can hold you  and that you can just hold me

CHORUS

Musically this was inspired by the scorched but beautiful Andalucian countryside in the heat of Summer. The alt.country style is evocative of Calexico - a significant influence - and conjures wide-screen sandscapes, parched mountains, road trips, spaghetti westerns...escapism. Lyrically it expresses the exact opposite - being locked down, tethered, isolated, scared of what was to come and sadness for all we had lost. “I saw you I-SO-LATE, but I can’t touch and I can’t taste”.
