Name: Big Dead Crow Pt 1
Duration: P00H02M59S
Description: I wrote this song as part of a "one song a day" challenge for the summer of 2018… The lyrics tell the story. Honestly there's nothing else to say, other than I had a lot of fun sending this to our record label when they hadn't responded to our emails for several months.

lyrics

Big dead crow
Dead in the yard
Flies all around
Lying on the ground
Big dead crow
Limp and hard
Big dead crow
Found a big dead crow

Big dead crow
Dead in the yard
Flies all around
Lying on the ground
Big dead crow
Limp and hard
Big dead crow
Found a big dead crow

Big dead crow
I don't even know if you're a boy or a girl
Big dead crow
Holding a grudge, save for the white of a pearl
Big dead crow
I'm bagging you up taking you out of the mud
Big dead crow
Murder is done, it flies in the sky up above.

Big dead crow (ceased to be a shadow)
Dead in the yard (but I got over it)
Flies all around (ceased to be a shadow)
Lying on the ground (but I got over it)
Big dead crow (ceased to be a shadow)
Limp and hard (but I got over it)
Big dead crow (ceased to be a shadow)
Big dead crow
Big dead crow
Big dead crow
Big dead crow
Found a big dead crow

The Failure
by And And And

Hell ya to And And And's songwriting, drummer Bim Ditson's post-punk mania and Berg Radin's swarm-of-bees guitar lines… there are few bands in PDX that get me this emotional involved. ♡ this band. Sama Dams

Art Songs
by Paper Gates

Andy played sax over Dirty Work and killed it over two other tracks that we've got in the vault. This release shows the depth of his great talents, and the shape of his unique musical mind. Aw yeah. Sama Dams

Stupid Idiot
by Kelly Reed

The songs on Kelly Reed’s latest are slyly self-deprecating, set to a backdrop of measured keys and guitar for maximum stateliness. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2023
