about

live and recorded solo playing slide on a resonator guitar
The mandates imposed on Canadians during the global pandemic were widely viewed as one of the most polemical and divisive moments in our history.

lyrics

The Bloody Light

You forgot to leave the light on
Can’t find my way home
You forgot to leave the light on
But I’m standing at my door

I swear I used to live here
But there ain’t nobody home
The keys don’t fit the lock
There’s chains around my door

Why don’t you leave the light on
Hey just leave the light on
Why don’t you leave the light on
The bloody bloody light

The needle is in the haystack
The shot is in the dark
On the other side of Eden
The moon is getting dark

You’re lurking in the shadows
You disappear at night
Pretty hard to find you
Because you hide in-plain sight

The smell is in the air
It’s thicker than the mud
You got me running scared
I’m drowning in the flood
Ch

You’re gathering for the feast
But where’s my invitation (You forgot)
The place is overcrowded
Its bursting at the seams

The party’s almost over
The lights are getting dim
All the clatter and the noise
My skin is getting kind of thin

Chorous 2x
