about

Revived this tune from the Groanbox album "Livingston Sessions", composed by Michael Ward-Bergeman (ASCAP / Voxumbilical Music)

lyrics

I walked the line in 69
From Mexico to Texas on a peyote high
And I heard the music of the crown
Coming from your majesty upside down

From a place of real sorrow
Singing down in the dirt
Not from something we feel
Just when we’re hurt

Peasant under grass
Singing your song
Aside the long narrow road
We’re walking along

Moon man is on the hill
Sitting in his blue chair quiet and cool
Violins play sweetly
All the angels gather round
To toast the sun and listen to the sound

From a place of real sorrow
Born in the sky
Not from something we feel
When a part of us dies

Peasant under grass
Singing your song
Aside the long narrow road
We’re walking along

Soon soon vibration moon touches song to soul
Boom boom no jewels compare to dancing lights
Their warmth for us to share

I saw the sun fly from its perch
A shooting star through blackest night
, colors burst
The sky was chanting wide and strong

How every peasant would belong

To a place of real sorrow
Beyond any tear
Not from something we feel
Or something we fear

Peasant under grass
Singing your song
Aside the long narrow road
We’re walking along

Cory Seznec image

Cory Seznec Paris, France

Somewhere between musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist dwells the artist Cory Seznec and his unique world.
A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated, and idiosyncratic. He also sings, plays old-time banjo, and wades in the deep river of American song.
