Drove all the way to Napa for a $15 burger
Wiped the ash off of the hood and fed the meter on the corner
Let me go, let me go
Had my two feet on the sidewalk and my spirit trying to quit me
I was standing in the sunlight wishing I could feel it hit me
Wasn’t close, not even close
This world been dipped in chocolate kerosene
Drove up and down the valley as the smoke poured off the mountains
Gather all of your prescriptions, throw your nickels in the fountains
Call it hope, call it hope
‘Cause staying put is suicide and leaving’s close to torture
Eden’s getting past its prime, they’re gonna burn the orchard
Got to go, you have to go
This world been dipped in chocolate kerosene
And time’s a hungry flame beneath our feet
Maybe someday in the push and pull
I’ll crawl out of this burning bowl
And wonder why I ever cared
When smoke rose in my rear view mirror
But I care, I care, I care, I care
Because every place I’ve been to makes me start to wonder whether maybe
I could never wander farther than you’d throw a feather
Baby, throw, I don’t know
‘Cause this world been dipped in chocolate kerosene
And time’s a hungry flame beneath our feet
This world been dipped in chocolate kerosene
If you’re prepared to burn, I guess it’s sweet
This is such a local gem. Tasty, buoyant, conversational improvisations that don't quite sound like anything else but are also totally approachable. A must for guitarists and drummers. Tracy Manuel
Caught this one when it dropped and it's been a constant fave ever since. Super gooey, somber pedal steel meditations with few additives. Transcendent. On repeat every long, lethargic NorCal summer. Tracy Manuel
Off-kilter, relentless, unexpected, and endlessly absorbing piano minimalism. But not like the kind you've heard before. This is bubblier. Tracy Manuel
