about

Dave wrote this on some of the chord changes from a Bach cantata (BWV 92 for those of you keeping score at home), and the progression has some non-jazzy twists and inversions to keep you on your toes as a player or listener. Again Kevin Barry’s layers of guitars add another level of pathos beyond the swinging jazz combo accompaniment, like we’re listening to this band playing in a movie scene, and the jazz group is the actual sound in the room for the scene, and the guitars are a theatrical underscore. And is that Tom Waits in the naugahyde booth back there?

lyrics

Let's all go
to the dark side
it's always full of charming losers
Getting down
bringing down the others
who are tryin to go up where the wind blows
to find good air

We all know
about the dark side
whenever in our darkest moments
We conceive
what it's like
to fall so far you never land
let's go together
come take my hand

Sounds so sweet
the dark side
to enter into fallen nature
blinded to
all your sins
no feeling past the here and now
maybe we all are
already there

David Thorne Scott Boston, Massachusetts

“At a time of great conflict in our country – when words often fail us – music has the power to bridge divides. With his latest album Thornewood, released earlier this month, David Thorne Scott explores the intersection of Jazz and Americana, city and country, instrumentation and lyrics to create lush compositions and covers that are unifying, and healing, in their beauty.” - Laurie Fanelli ... more
