about

This one has John's rock roots showing. A tangled up mess was the vision for this recording of a tune he wrote in 2021. We feature three fantastic guest musicians on strings for this track
Seth Murphy on Cello
David Gant on Viola
Joe Macharet on Fiddle
These guys were great sports as they recorded their parts without hearing the others they were playing with until it was all finished. This required a lot of trust and we are so appreciative of that from those guys..As we built this song, it grew into exactly what we wanted. This effect turned out great to our ears and we hope you enjoy it too.

lyrics

Virginia Creeper by John R Bowyer

Gonna wake up in the morning and go bury a man I'm out on rent and I'm out on the plan the hole will be deep but my love was much deeper it's a tangled up mess like Virginia Creeper.

Way down in the west by God
He'll be laid out on a heavy weight cot
The hole will be deep but my love was much deeper it's a tangled up mess like Virginia Creeper

Don't you come around acting like a preacher at me I've opened my eyes and I can see what I see

The hole will be deep but my love was much deeper it's a tangled up mess like Virginia Creeper.

I'm the alive I'm the one still alive

Way down in the west by God
He'll be laid out on a heavy weight cot
The hole will be deep but my love was much deeper it's a tangled up mess like Virginia Creeper
