about

I have been enlisted by a dear friend, Joshua Dumas, #fieldguide1 to record a song in video form from the Guided By Voices album, Alien Lanes.
This record came out exactly 25 years ago. If you are not familiar with it, I highly recommend a listen!
This wonderful album has a stout 28 songs! There have been 28 different artists enlisted to perform and release all 28 songs in order for the rest of the days in May!
There’s a fun catch though! None of these artists find out what song they’ve been paired with until 48 hours before it is supposed to be released!
I’ve been on the clock since Monday! So, I have recorded my song, and I have been grateful to receive this song in particular. It’s short and sweet.
The song is called, They’re Not Witches, the 4th track on this fantastic album.

lyrics

Dear kid,
the size does not matter
Bad luck anyway you call it
Red ants and mercy giants
The angels of the bars
They're all wrapped
They're all wrapped
They're all wrapped to say good morning
Don't seek to burn them
They are not witches
Just spoiled little children
Out on a lucky streak
