about

I recorded this song live in the studio. It's a very experimental composition pushing the boundaries of my guitar playing and lyricism. A modernist impression of fatherhood and domestic life seen in an angular fashion. I confess it's one of my faves, leaving aside false modesty. I was attempting a fusion approximately of Syd Barrett and John Fahey influences, assimilating and coming up with a new Edgar Breau direction.

lyrics

Pony Ride

Took a bumpy ride, on a crippled pony, a speckled bay with sleepy half closed eyes, saw his swishing tail, the failing arms of a scarecrow, clock struck daisies, wildflowering vines

Miss Emily D. is on a shelf by the window, hear a bawling baby, see Di' sweep by, suppertime such a scene at the table, grasping hands, dangling feet mouths are wide

On the spur of that moment, that fleeting spur, I felt the goad of grizzled hapless shoemen, my coffin closes, shuts out the drawn sky, dissipates like a dream as I sigh
