Explanation Not Forthcoming (2021 Mix)

about

I will always be a huge Bruce Campbell fan. Here's a song for Ash.

And this one's specially for Tim.

lyrics

This cabin out in the woods
is perfect as a hideaway where we can go
and not be disturbed
We'll live on canned and dry goods
That old man's warning was quite clearly
completely absurd

But there's that scratching at the door again
and that unearthly distant humming
Who left that skeleton just lying in the rain?
Explanation not forthcoming

I am beginning to think
the motives of the guy who sold this place to us
were not so benign
And I am drawing a link
between that troubled family history of his
and of mine

And there's that howling in the yard outside
(at least it's better than the humming)
Where did the lantern go on which we had relied?
Explanation not forthcoming

The thought of flight
still makes me hesitate
Instead of packing
I'll just stand and watch you levitate

And now that scratching at the door's returned
Fresh blood is leaking from the plumbing
I must admit I'm just a little bit concerned
Explanation not forthcoming

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
