about

This COVID written song imagines the Grim Reaper traveling from the South Coast heading towards the north leaving a trail of suffering along his way. The rider takes pride in his task and even tries to justify his grisly role with the question; would we understand joy and happiness without sorrow and tragedy? The song begins with a slow canter that builds to a thundering pace. The crescendo filled with horns and crashing minor chords abruptly ends closing the album.

lyrics

I headed towards the north, riding with the sea behind my back. I’ll make the rivers red, towns I’ll paint a silent shade of black. I’ll parade around the streets, knowing what’s to come, take pride in my task, moving on when the job is done. I get lost in the crowd; I see fear in their eyes. As I whistle my tune, they whisper their goodbyes. Despite how you all live, all of you were born to wear my mark. It’s a thing you have
in common, it’s a branding of the dark. Knowledge of the pain, it’s the gift that I bring, life wouldn’t be the same and joy won’t mean a thing. I get lost in the crowd; I see fear in their eyes. As I whistle my tune, they whisper their goodbyes. When you see my pale face, you’ll know just who I am, you know your time has come when you recognise this man. You’re just a frightened little thing, so scared and all alone, searching without hope, facing the unknown. I get lost in the crowd; I see fear in their eyes. As I whistle my tune, they whisper their goodbyes.
