third single from Whippoorwill's debut full-length album, The Nature of Storms (November 15, 2019)

lyrics

oh there’s something heavy in this blacktop breeze
sends the wheat rippling and rolling
and i’m curled in it’s wake, gently broke
oh memory, kaliedescope

afterwhile, when i come upon an empty mile
lay my head back and dream awhile of the way
you rocked me
eventide, i’ll float away again the day i find
an easy way to leave behin
the way you rocked me

gonna take 27 to amarillo
leave my broken heart in a hotel room
with the residue of cigarettes and strangers
with the hum of the AC and cicadas

and i’m gonna ride this highway like it’s something
listen to johnny cash and graham parsons
and I’ll chase the sky forever
if you’ll ever let me go

afterwhile, when i come upon an empty mile
lay my head back and dream awhile of the way
you rocked me
eventide, i’ll float away again the day i find
an easy way to leave behin
the way you rocked me

everything around us was changing
and i spun gently in the palm of your hand
until you sung me still
and everything around us was changing
and I spun gently in the palm of your hand
until i fell

ooo love, the way you turned me in your hands

Whippoorwill Fort Collins, Colorado

Alt-folk written by boots-in-the-dirt, partner-in-crime country girls and delivered across a vast percussive landscape. For Whippoorwill, there's little separation between the soul and the scenery-- heartbreak is a ripped floodplain and longing, an unbroken expanse of sky. Non-traditional banjo, long harmonica riffs, distorted guitar, and three-part harmonies that scorch, soar, haunt accordingly. ... more
