Walking Uphill (Lockdown Version)

by Woodhead

supported by

Dave Jones Yana is an über-talented guitarist, combined with the energy this band already exudes, this track is a no-brained to enjoy. Even their full-length pulled me in. I hope to hear more like this soon from them! I saw the video on Instagram and kept playing it. It made sense just to buy it so I can listen everywhere!

about

As many know, it has been difficult to continue music production during the pandemic. I have been very fortunate to be able to perform and record this song remotely. Each person recorded their own part and video from home and the video was edited by Yana Davydova. You can see the video here:

lyrics

Let’s go for a walk
A thousand steps uphill
I am amazed by your obstinacy
Who do you think you are?

The role calls for a knife
Whoever even heard of a gun
But you indulge in the shoot out
And you pretend you don’t like it

It won’t be easy
Believing coulda saved us
Now we’re against the wall
I celebrate the Fall

WE TUMBLE BLINDLY THROUGH THE TUNNEL IN THE DARK
WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE TURN ON THE LIGHTS
WE STUMBLE AND FALL AS WE WALK BACK UP
AND NOW WE’RE IN THE MOOD FOR A FIGHT
I DON’T BELIEVE SOPHISTICATED WEAPONS
OR POINTED INSULTS MAKE IT RIGHT
IT’S NOT ABOUT THE SHAME

I was always in harmony
Happiness from the highest decree
I indulged in the finest things
But I was in love with the enemy

Improper never meant a thing
I know you stole it from the cemetery
You had the smile of the darkest fang
I hope our faces don’t give it away

I pray to my good God
That they can’t shoot very far
I think they know where we are
We have to walk uphill
We ditch the getaway car
