New audio demo “Devils and Bibles”

This is a new demo track that I wrote/recorded on Saturday, April 9th.  We are currently working on a band version of this which should start showing up in the live shows immediately.  Stay tuned for more versions of this interesting track.

Devils and Bibles, words and music by Todd Edwards

Lyrics:

You’re a fable that hangs on the promise of an old diamond ring

Cut down by the outlaws of sirens, the lovers and me

Brought up with the drunkards, the dandies, the rustlers and thieves

The children of strongmen, a princess, the son of a priest

Their wisdom eludes me most days, Lord it helps me to sleep

Just Devils And Bibles inheritin’ the world for the meek

        

        But Life is a livin’ hell, 

        Carved out in God’s Sacred Spell,

        We’re lost in our game.

 

All of your horses were gone down to New Baltimore

Held close by a season of high tides, switchblades and more

Just call me when you want something better than just who you are

The ghost of a cowhand deals Walt Whitman some cards

Devils and Bibles and Angels all rusted and tamed

Western high-rollers, a Dixieland Southbound train

 

        The rust now is overdue,

        The wolves now encircle you,

        Lost in their game.

 

“I will love you” haunts these old canyon walls

Gone are your chances to earn all your words from afar

There is a legend that our lives are lost sailor’s dreams

Caught up in the roses, the echoes of nightmares of kings

Liquored up lovers, misfits walk roadsides in chains

Just Devils and Bibles livin’ their lifetimes again

        

        The rust now is over you,

        The wolves now are overdue,

        Lost in their game.

 

Don’t sell me a lie or tell me you’re searchin’ for truth

It cuts through my bones and deep down it steals through my roots

Devils and Bibles and Angels all rusted and tamed

Western high-rollers and Dixieland Southbounded trains

Liquored up lovers, misfits walk roadsides for bars

Dealin’ new hands to the strongmen from a fresh deck of cards

 

        Life is a livin’ hell,

        Carved out from God’s Sacred Spell,

        We’re lost in His Game.

 

Just Devils and Bibles and Angels all rusted and tamed

Western high-rollers and Dixieland Southbounded trains

“Flowers in the Rain” is a new Todd Edwards & the Depressionaires song that is now available here on the official Todd Edwards Tumblr Blog.  Look for a full-band/iTunes version of this track in the not so distant future.  Tonight’s solo version features a solo Todd on guitar/harmonica and was recorded today (3-30-2011) at the Depressionaire Studio (currently located in the Jozart Center for the Arts).  More on the way.

Flowers in the Rain

Capo on the 1st fret

D7                               G

I saw the dust glide through the town

D7                                 G

Always the finest when it sticks in your teeth.

C                              G

I heard a radio faintly comin’ in

C                             G

with all of the voices faded out

C                                                G

but all those new words were surely the first to play

C——->slide up to D——->C

Flowers in the rain, flowers in the rain

The Winter she warms with only her whiskey and grace,

while the Summer she runs after only a drink.

but neither resides in April’s pouring rain

or the wind of November’s desolate place.

I’ve had my share, with what I could spare to give

Flowers in the rain, flowers in the rain

bridge:

    “high Am”         Am        G

    Set it high up, upon your cross

    D7                                                  G

    but bear it alone with a smile wrapped against your chin

    “high Am”                   Am        G

    I wish you well, and that can’t run dry…

    Flowers in the rain,  flowers in the rain

D7                               G

I saw the dust glide through the town

D7                                 G

Always the finest when it sticks in your teeth.

C——->slide up to D——->C

Flowers in the rain, flowers in the rain, flowers in the rain

More to come…
