This song is the absolute epitome of Southern Gothic. I imagine a hoodoo practicing witch is about to be burned at the stake and her final words are this song.
Hickory, oak, pine and weed Bury my heart underneath these trees And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul Spread my spirit like a flock of crows Cause I loved ya for too long I loved ya for too long I loved ya for too long Old heat of a raging fire Come and light my eyes Summer's kiss thru electric wire But I'll never die Sycamore, ash, moss and loam Wrap your roots all around my bones And when they come for me When they call my name Cast my shadow from a bellow's flame Cause I loved ya for too long I loved ya for too long I loved ya for too long Old heat of a raging fire Come and light my eyes Summer's kiss to electric wire But I'll never die... I will never die You can bury my body but I'll never die In the dead of the night (In the dead of the night) I'm gonna loose this chain (I'm gonna loose this chain) I'm gonna run and run and run and run and run (Sing on sister) I'm gonna run and run and run and run Coming for you again (Oh I'm coming for you again) Oh So let the storm come Old heat of a raging fire Come and light my eyes Summer's kiss to electric wire But I'll never die... I will never die You can bury my body but I'll never die Hickory, oak, pine and weed Bury my heart underneath these trees
Yeah. This is an extremely talented band. At the top of my list for a couple years going. This new CD in 2015 is absolutely riveting! The passionate vocal in the last 90 seconds of I will Never Die is just stunning. Saw them in Maryland 2 years ago when they were just breaking - on the top of the live venue game as well. Just hope they get some serious label support.
I am so glad the dark came out and gave us more music like this but I always find myself going back and listening to the classics like this. This song it too good to forget about.
My favorite band right now frfr and I don't even usually listen to their type of music. Each artists voice is just so enchanting no matter which song it is.. Hope I get the privilege to work with them before my passing. HMU!! hahah
The whole song is basically about being reincarnated by the spell she's casting in order to take revenge on someone. Reincarnated may be the wrong word for this, idk
Nogueira, carvalho, pinheiro e erva daninha Enterrem meu coração debaixo dessas árvores E quando um vento sul vem para elevar minha alma Espalhe o meu espírito, como um bando de corvos Porque eu te amei por muito tempo Eu te amei por muito tempo Eu te amei por muito tempo Antigo calor de um fogo intenso Venha e ilumine meus olhos Beijo de verão para fio elétrico Mas eu nunca vou morrer Sicômoro, cinza, musgo e gnomo Enrole as minhas raízes em todos os meus ossos E quando eles vêm para mim Quando eles chamam meu nome Molde minha sombra de uma chama abaixo Porque eu te amei por muito tempo Eu te amei por muito tempo Eu te amei por muito tempo (Então deixe a tempestade vir) Antigo calor de um fogo intenso Venha e ilumine meus olhos Beijo de verão para fio elétrico Mas eu nunca vou morrer Eu nunca vou morrer Você pode enterrar meu corpo, mas eu nunca vou morrer Na calada da noite (Na calada da noite) Eu vou perder essa corrente (Eu vou soltar essa corrente) Eu vou correr e correr e correr e correr e correr (Cante, irmã) Eu vou correr e correr e correr e correr e correr Eu estou vindo para você novamente (Oh, eu estou vindo para você de novo) Oh Então deixe a tempestade vir Antigo calor de um fogo intenso Venha e ilumine meus olhos Beijo de verão para fio elétrico Mas eu nunca vou morrer Eu nunca vou morrer Você pode enterrar meu corpo, mas eu nunca vou morrer Nogueira, carvalho, pinheiro e erva daninha Enterrem meu coração debaixo dessas árvores
Thats bc they were stuck at their record label, and iirc they werent too pleased either, and as soon as they ditched it they began putting out lots of new music that is much more like their old sound. I'm especially looking forward to their new album.
