The Sickness and the Cure (lyrics by Kal Cahoone)
This is the sickness and the cure together
Thought we were dying but we’re feeling better
It is the locked door and the key
Do we agree to disagree?
It is the joyride and the accident
A promise to stay I don’t know where he went
And in the fall and in the spring
We’re dying to be born again
Yes it is true shall we admit
not sure what will become of this
it is withdrawal and the fix
is there any love in the mix?
If we could make it to the cordillera
Get to top and take a vow I dare ya
We’ll reach the highest kind of love
All bright and shiny white
All bright and shiny white
All bright and shiny white

Green World (Kenneth Patchen “Nobody is a Long Time”)
In this my green world
Flowers birds are hands
They hold me
There is love all day
I am amused
I have to laugh from crying
Trees branches are arms
There is love all day
Love all day.
In this my beautiful green world
There is love all day
In this my beautiful green world
There is love all day

Polka Dots (lyrics by Kal Cahoone)
Nothing is flawless
‘Neath the splintered sky
They say this snow it fell to cover up
All that is dead and rotten
True but underneath
I feel the baby’s breath
I have no knowledge of higher worlds
I want the knowledge of higher worlds
The art of seeming like something I’m not
It’s like we’re seeing all polka dots
But I love the shadows in the back
I want to love from where I’m at
The branches break once more you
Came into view
I saw the crack in your smile
But twice your eyes blue
Oh they are so blue
But I love the shadow on your back
I want to love you where you’re at
I love the shadows in the back
I don’t want to see in white and black

Namesake Girl (lyrics by Kal Cahoone)
We were watching birds
When the news we heard
Seemed to stop the time
Was she ok
Would she be fine
The owner of our bloodline
We did it for her
You’re her namesake girl
What a lovely one at that
And she liked the birds and
She must have heard them calling
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t say goodbye
Until we meet again
One more time
We’ll listen to those stories you can’t write
With those aching hands
Oh how I’d like to make a little history of your life
Don’t close your eyes
No more goodbyes
Til we make it home
Til we make it home
Til we meet me again
Will we meet again
One more time.
You’ve already made
A history of your life.

Sugar for Sugar (lyrics adapted from Rabbit Brown)
The times they ain’t now
Nothing like they used to be.
The times they ain’t now
Nothing like they used to be.
And I’m telling you all the truth
Oh take it from me, take it from me
I done seen better days
Yet I’m puttin up
With these
I’m giving you sugar for sugar
I’ll let you get salt for salt
Cuz I was born in the country
He thinks I’m easy to rule
But I done seen better days
Yet I’m puttin up with these

I had the pleasure of seeing David Eugene Edwards at Fire in the Mountains 2022 and appreciated Wovenhand in a far deeper way that I did not when I saw him open for OM in March 2020. His solo Wovenhand performance on that stage, in the Teton wilderness, his vibrato echoing in the hills, really stuck with me as an emblematic sound of the vibe of that experience. Love his spectral, gothic, spiritual, and Western as hell mood.

Not so subtle reminisce of what is to be. Everything I didn’t understand reiterated eloquently. I didn’t want to know. Beautiful key notes, percussions, and capo. Sandy loam, volcanic ash, 4900’ elevation. Essence of ash, beefsteak tomatoes, and rosy hips.

No More Songs About Wildflowers

In paying homage to American country, folk, blues and rock and roll, Snakes has come full circle in recording (in the DIY punk ethic) music that is straight up fun to listen to all while evoking feelings of heartache, love, loss and nostalgia. Stuff we all know too well.
