In the Shadow of the Mountainside

about

Original Track "In the Shadow of the Mountainside" is a song that uses the metaphor of living on the wrong side of a mountain to describe the sense of not belonging, it’s the end, but it’s not clear of what. Drug addiction or at least dependence, a longing, mournful holler across the valley. From The Album, "Travelogue" - 13 songs, captured by an awesome collection of vintage microphones. The songs are new, original but sound as though they’ve always existed, somewhere on a mountaintop……

Slim Dime are Jen Land – vocals & tenor guitar & Chris Taylor – vocals & guitar & banjo.

lyrics

In the shadow of the mountainside

In the shadow of the
mountainside
cold as the grave
too late to save my
soul


Surely it must be
endtimes
whiskey in my veins
nicotine stains
on my fingers on my nails
and on my
eyes


Silence in the cold blue
morning light
alone in the pale
locked in the jail
of my
mind

Bottomless well
deep in my soul
cup that never fills
bruise on the hills
iron in my chest
and in my arm

In the shadow of the
mountainside
cold as the grave
too late to save my
soul
