Autumn Wind

Autumn wind blows the leaves across the road
Color red bleeds across the western sky
Taillights fade into the shade / love is made
Jingle jangle morning’s around the bend
Lighted signs hang above half open doors
Paper cups rattling change like tambourines
Cigarettes in sidewalk raves / Jesus saves
It’s warm inside the sliding doors by the ATM
And you know
Change comes slow
But you can change
Sunday paper lying on the subway floor
People’s names / living and dying / on the page
Mouths to feed / wounds that bleed / ones we need
Some will win / some will lose / some sing the blues
And you know
Change comes slow
But you can change

Tears of Blood
04:52

Horses scream across the open plain
Gunfire crackles, thunder clouds the air
Fighting for the right to roam the land
White man’s got to own and bleed it dry
And so we shed these tears of blood upon the ground
As the Ancestors await us in the sky
You came, we gave, and welcomed you into the land
You lie, and steal, and butcher those who sleep at night
Make man your slave, and break his spirit as we turn to ghosts
And hide inside the shadows looking to the sky
This legacy of sorrow hangs above
Our heads just like fog upon a lake
The bottle brings a refuge from the pain
Our way of life is dead and gone away
You reap what you sow

Eager City, Patient Country
by Larcenist
If you like your Americana rock 'n roll songs oozing with hearbreak, give this record a listen. You won't regret it.

The music on this record is as dark and gorgeous as the artwork. There's an expansive quality to the recording that makes it's sparse arrangements sound as if they could fill open plains.
go to album
You know when a band spends over a year crafting a record and it shows? Exile is one of those records. An eclectic masterpiece of mostly acoustic driven rock 'n roll by one of Boston's finest.
