Coming Down[permalink][rss]

Lost Dog Street Band, "Coming Down," featuring Thirteen Strings and a Two Dollar Bill // Take Away - Youtube link to a live recording (because I require that SOVL)

The same song on bandcamp, for purchase

At first, I didn't think this was a very good song. Upon listening more closely, it was incredibly moving. This version has an evolving chorus which was incredibly compelling to me. The change of a single word entirely drives the decline from dopesick and desperate to delirious and withdrawing.

Upon the first iteration of the chorus:


And in my dreams, there's a needle and spoon,
And there's a pair of dice, a loaded gun, maybe me and you
And you're sawing on a fiddle and I'm wondering which to choose
Everything's so complicated now I am coming down


Upon further iterations:


And in my dreams, there's a needle and spoon,
And there's a pair of dice, a loaded gun, maybe me and you
And you're sawing on a fiddle and I'm wondering which to shoot
Everything's so complicated now I am coming down
