Across the great expanse
We connect the rails
Will ride this train
Right in to hell

Built upon the backs of many
There stand just a few
Promises of change
Somethings never do

Hit me with that moonshine
Keep them coming till I'm blind

across the sacred ground
Respect we can't afford
Progress will prevail
Go ahead declare your war

Hit me with that moonshine
Remember what I take is mine

Always got to watch your back
Deaths behind every door

The world's turned upside down
Just as I was going to lay on the floor

Across the great expanse
We connect the rails
Will ride this train
Right in the hell

Something different - this is Mid-west Americana country, inspired by a DADGAD tuning. Difficult to mix, so not 100% happy with this - probably need to boost the vocals more. Great lyrics by Hook, always managing the read what I'm after and knowing out of the park, thanks brother :-)

This is great, a real infectious tune.

That repeating chord progression is grooving and gets stuck in your head very quickly, and liking them little harmonics popping up now and again.

Very cool vocal Hook, delivered with panache and a swagger.

The mix seems pretty sound to me, listening on cans and the vocal is sitting at a nice level and the overall balancing is spot on.

Nice one!

[Redler]

This is so good and captivating! Sounds perfectly to "acoustic band" - very mellow sound. Violin is tasteful here....

Top notch job, guys!

[Hook]

I love getting a Bruno track & this couldn't have been timed better. I've been watching the show Hell On Wheels which is set in America right after the civil war as the railroad was being expanded west, great show!
Everything about the Bruno's track is amazing but that fiddle really does it for me!
Rock On Brother!

It does for me too, and I failed to mention that when initially commenting on the song

[Kenny B]

I've listened to this so many times now and every time it just gets better.   This is one of my favourite songcrafters songs ever. Love everything about it but it's the violin that brings it over the top. I'm so jealous of your violin skills Bruno.

I'm a fan

[ODH]

I'm tending to agree, one of my favorite SC songs too.  Conjours such an evocative atmosphere and hints at such a big story in the lyric.

across the sacred ground
Respect we can't afford

...such a keen-eyed insight into the treatment of the indigenous American peoples by brutish, drunken, greedy settlers, mostly western Europeans.  We have much to be ashamed of in our history.  It's a tragic, sad tale (it makes me angry), but a great lyric.

Musically just spot on in performance and production, to my ears.  Everything sounds fresh and the fiddle is sublime.

Addictive, fantastic.  Well done both.
