April Song: The Weight of Lies
Artist: The Avett Brothers [more]
Essence of the music/lyrics: Thanks to good friend Craig Niess for turning me on to this indescribable band. They fit in no traditional music genre I know of. They seem instead a fusion of many. Many of their songs, like this one, have a great point and of course that always attracts me. Check them out and don't be turned off if you don't like the sound of the first few songs you hear; it takes some patience. "The Weight of Lies" reminds me of my youth when I thought getting a new start - going to somewhere or someone new - would change me as a person!
Excerpt:
"The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere"
