about

Though our heroine’s name might not be, for the sake of this telling, she’ll be Annie. For it was Annie who carried The Band’s laden Weight. Our story’s Hamlet-bound tension is that indecision, her wait. 

lyrics

Oh, Annie, won't you go?

Accept this invitation that was engraved in gold for you. By Robbie and his Canadian friends in the Pink House of their blues. The Weight you carried done did its work, held you down so you could see. Bring your anchor up and set your sail, for this is how it needs to be.

Yes, that’s you they call, not some other soul who sounds your name in rhyme. Resist the need to clarify because you’ve known this all this time. It's your fear that pins you up in doubt, flaps you back inside the breeze. Should I stay or should I go? Are they really callin' me?

You pine inside for that miserable shore you want to call your life. When it’s gone from sight, whatcha gonna do? When that view has up and died? It’s time you sang out your own song, not the abusive men who do. Not talking about those wolf-man types, I mean the devil inside you.

In order to seek out a new land, you've got to let go of this shore. For days and years and millennia, spiral slowly back and forth. Go make your way in the watery sun, eyes to the horizon line. The new land will ripple up slowly; it was cast in your potter’s eye.

Mudsong crafts stories that give voice to our breaking human hearts. Thomas King said, “The truth about stories is that’s all we are."  The truth about Mudsong is songstories are all we are. Original stories. Soulful songs. Crafted from the sloppy mess of life? That's what we do. Our evenings open on the hearthfire of the bass guitar, shimmy through the saxophone, and linger over heart and soul. ... more
