Lyrics:

She put him out

Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette

She broke his heart

He spent his whole life trying to forget

We watched him drink his pain away

Little at a time

But he never could get drunk enough

To get her off his mind until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger

And finally drank away her memory

Life is short but this time it was bigger

And the strength he had to get up off his knees

We found him with his face down in the pillow

With a note that said I'll love her till I die

And when we buried him beneath the willow

The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

The rumors flew

But nobody knew how much she blamed herself

For years and years

She tried to hide the whiskey on her breathe

She finally drank her pain away little at a time

But she never could get drunk enough to get him of her mind

Until the night

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger

And finally drank away his memory

Life is short but this time it was bigger

Than the strength she had to get up off her knees

We found her with her face down in the pillow

Clinging to his picture for dear life

We laid her next to him beneath the willow

While the Angels sang a whiskey lullaby

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

Song Of The Day - Feb 3rd '23

Faraway Look - Yola

After 9/11, country changed. It lost its touch, its spark. A rise in nationalism brought about the country that most people think of. The "I love my dog and my truck and The USA" country. Suddenly the genre which was once the lifeblood of the working man became the laughing stock of the entire nation. However, in recent years, there had been a resurgence of country in the classic style that we know. Artists like Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, Orville Peck, and Kasey Musgraves have brought in a new country, the kind of country I know and love. One of the best among these artists is Yola. This black, British artist is doing country better than half of the white men that Nashville cranks out every other year. Her blend of country and soul is what the genre truly needs, a refreshing voice that returns country to its original form: storytelling. Her fierce vocals and brilliant songwriting abilities are showcased perfectly on Faraway Look, the opening track of her debut album, Walk Through Fire.

Faraway Look is a whimsical tale, a reflection of Yola's life. She watches a loved one as they go through life, a strange distant look in their eyes. There is something in the way they walk. They are pondering something, pouring it over and over. They're a distant daydreamer, and Yola wonders what's going on in their head. The instrumentals add to the mysterious nature of the lyrics. They float. They build. They give Yola's transcendent voice the backing she deserves. A perfect blend of a wide range of instruments. The song builds until it culminates with the final message of Yola's song, the chorus: "That faraway look in your eye/it's getting harder to disguise". This person has some kind of secret, a desire to escape, and it's starting to show.

If there was any song that I could use to attempt to describe myself, it would be this one. Not just lyrically, but musically as well. I like to think of myself as whimsical, I'm really not. I'm a realist who forces herself to find the silver lining in everything, even though the logical outcome is still stuck at the back of my mind. But I am a dreamer. I dream all the time, even when I'm not supposed to. It's a bad habit, but one I doubt I'll ever get rid of even if I wanted to. I'm often distant from the world, but the world doesn't have everything I want from it. At least it's not in my reach, not yet.

Lyrics:

He was working through college

On my grandpa's farm

I was thirsting for knowledge

And he had a car

Yeah, I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child

One restless summer we found love growing wild

On the banks of the river on a well beaten path

It's funny how those memories they last

Like strawberry wine and seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

My first taste of love, oh bittersweet

Green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

I still remember

When thirty was old

And my biggest fear was September

when he had to go

A few cards and letters and one long distance call

We drifted away like the leaves in the fall

But year after year I come back to this place

Just to remember the taste

Of strawberry wine and seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

My first taste of love, whoa-oh, bittersweet

Green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

Yeah

The fields have grown over now

Years since they've seen the plow

There's nothing time hasn't touched

Is it really him or the loss of my innocence?

I've been missing so much

Strawberry wine and seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

My first taste of love, whoa-oh bittersweet

And green on the vine

Like strawberry wine and seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

My first taste of love, oh, bittersweet

And green on the vine

Like strawberry wine
