For a divine time.

Here’s an original song I co-wrote with my friend David Torres. This is a sacri-licious hard-drinking shanty, and it’s about as screwball as it gets. Here is a loose demo. For the final version I’d like get some rolling barroom piano, accordion, and maybe a little fiddle action going on from miracle musician David Roby. Maybe speed up the tempo a notch. We’ll see.

Damon Gentry - The Bles'sed Drink

Here are the lyrics because I think they are funny:

Another drink of whiskey boy, to calm yer jangled nerves
When God’s great hand comes crashing down, we’ll get what we deserve
A mighty cup, a mighty sup, His bladder made of stone
If you can’t handle yer liquor man, by God you’re on yer own

Drink away, My Lord, seize the day, My Lord, share thy shot-glass with me!

Drink deeply of communion boys, a drop of the blood of Our Savior
Is stiff enough to buckle the knees of even the heartiest sailor!

The wedding bells are tolling Lord, bestow Thy gifts upon
For if it be, we drink to Thee, bless Ye and the horse Ye rode in on
The heavens part, I cut a fart, to behold That Holy Light
And down through the crack comes a great big bottle of Jack
To judge man on wrongness and right

Drink away, My Lord, seize the day, My Lord, we’ll soon be seein’ Three
Drink away, My Lord, seize the day, My Lord, a Holy Trinity

First off, here’s a final mix of a song that’s been kicking around for a while, The Black Plague, in all its trombone’d glory (horns and harmonica graciously contributed by David Torres). This will be on the next Dance The Bridge record, which I’m hoping to have finished by the end of this year.

And this here’s a demonstration recording of a brand new song, Young Man’s Game, which I wrote this past month.

And if you haven’t heard/downloaded/loved last year’s Dance The Bridge EP yet, well hot crap, here’s your chance! I made the cover all purdy with color this weekend. Clicky clicky!
