NeonAstronaut
Unplugged dark country / acoustic sludge-folk with bleak, windswept Appalachian-Americana atmosphere, Deep, weathered Southern baritone, intimate, gravelly and exhausted, nearly spoken in the verses, rising into raw anguished choruses, Slow clawhammer banjo and battered acoustic guitar form the core, joined by mournful fiddle, bowed upright bass, sparse harmonica, resonator slide and heavy stomping percussion, No electric guitars, synths or electronic elements, Create sludge-like heaviness acoustically through violently strummed low chords, droning banjo, bowed bass, scraping fiddle and huge spaces between notes, Long instrumental sections shift from lonely picking into crushing acoustic walls of sound, Slow, dragging, imperfect human timing with fret noise and room ambience, Cold, dusty American wilderness mood, Extended final banjo, fiddle and resonator solo gradually fades into one lonely banjo

[Verse] Dark days... Even darker nights... Doin' everythin' wrong... While tryin' to do it right... Hearts puttin' up... One hell of a fight... But it's losin' it... Clingin' on the hope... Till my fingers bleed... But it ever... Tries to flee... Leave me hopeless... With not a thing to believe... Save for the nothingness it feeds... [Instrumental interlude] [Pre-Chorus] Tillin' the garden... Plantin' the seeds... Growin' a harvest... Of misery... [Chorus] And Sorrow! Draws The Plow! Cuttin' Lines... Deep In My Brow! Ohhhh ohhh ohh oh... Sorrow... Draws the plow... [Instrumental interlude] [Verse] Every furrow's... A disgrace... Addin' years... To my face... The soil is hard... But the roots grow deep... Tangled around... What's left of me... Don't let it rain... Bring me a drought... Let the sun... Try an burn it out... The light is muted... Dull in a haze... World washed... In pastel greay... [Instrumental interlude] [Pre-Chorus] Farmer of failure... Reaper of grief... Nothin' grows here... But misery... [Chorus] And Sorrow! Draws The Plow! Cuttin' Lines... Deep In My Brow! Ohhhh ohhh ohh oh... Sorrow... Draws the plow... [Instrumental interlude] [Bridge] The seasons... Don't mean a thing... For misery... Is evergreen... [Outro] And Sorrow! Draws The Plow! Furrows fresh... Forever Bound! In the garden... Ohhhh ohhh ohh oh... Where... ... Sorrow... Draws the plow... [Instrumental solo leading to fade out] [End]
