Name: "Rivulets" Single
Duration: P00H03M46S
Description: Written in Oregon in the winter of 2022, "Rivulets" captures some of the feeling of that heavy time in Omicron America. Dean is supreme on the vocals, energized by the singing of Longhi, and Bush and Richards on guitar bring majesty to the hard-done-by lyrics. "Rivulets" is a modern-day take on that old-fashioned kind of lonesome country music.

lyrics

Rivulets

Goddamn, I acted carelessly
I want to see friends but they’re all pissed at me

Don’t gimme no guilt I’m so over it
Don’t need any more I was raised Catholic

[Rain, rain in rivulets,
Givin’ me givin’ me shivering fits,
Oh my, will it it ever be dry,
I’m drowning in drizzle, I think I could die.]

This walking on eggshells, it's for the birds
I want the sun’s shine so bad that it hurts

What I need is connection, I need energy
Not just my happy light and vitamin D

[Rain, rain in rivulets,
Givin’ me givin’ me shivering fits,
Oh my, will it it ever be dry,
I’m drowning in drizzle, I think I could die.]

Now I don’t know if I’ve ever felt lower
Just laying in bed and reading Pessoa

Trapped in here, it’s tipping down out there,
This basement is smelling like wet horse hair

[Rain, rain in rivulets,
Givin’ me givin’ me shivering fits,
Oh my, will it it ever be dry,
I’m drowning in drizzle, I think I could die.]

I guess in this life we all have to pay
Things haven’t been the same since New Year’s Day.

I know, I know, it’s all relative but
It’s also okay to be sick of this shit

[Rain, rain in rivulets,
Givin’ me givin’ me shivering fits,
Oh my, will it it ever be dry,
I’m drowning in drizzle, I think I could die.]

[Rain, rain in rivulets,
Givin’ me givin’ me shivering fits,
Oh my, will it it ever be dry,
I’m drowning in drizzle, I think I could die.]
