about

As the original project began to develop I began to think of other songs that I had enjoyed playing but that technically were not part of the 'supposed set list'. In capturing the songs from my time in China i quickly realized that many of them had been recorded acoustically in 2020 and early 2021, and so there was this idea of 'why do what's already been done and not actually come up with other songs that you had played from different times. That's where the Elle King song 'Ain't gonna Drown' comes into the picture. LS introduced the song to me early in 2021 and while being performed only one time in Tasmania I just felt it was too 'good a song' in my opinion to not record, and thus it got recorded.

lyrics

Ain't Gonna Drown
by Elle King

Train's coming but I'm stuck on this road
Moon's rising and my blood is growing cold
Preacher man can't save a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
'Cause the good Lord ain't bringing me home
I'm bound for the broken promise land
To meet my demons and get back my upper hand
Long man can't catch a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
'Cause the good Lord ain't bringing me home
Long man can't catch a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
'Cause the good Lord ain't bringing me home
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
'Cause the good Lord ain't bringing me home
