Stumbling through the 'barren waste' a devoted couple, convinced of a compelling destiny, leave their tribal group and head off on their own. Near the end of their resources they find... death?... or is it an encounter with a transforming magic?
melodic lyrical political emphatic high energy protest opinion
Artist picture
Progressive rock with heart, political, message, strong lyrics, good melodic singing, sometimes complex... always multi-layered/sometimes light-sometimes thick.
Michael Bix (and studio/stage bandmates) constructs songs around lyrics, beat and drone... bottom line - "where are the Emperor's clothes?" even when the emperor is Bix himself. No wierd scams, just solid songs about people using or used by power in strange and often unaccountable ways... unless there's a witness writing it down, and it's not altogether unaccountable anymore.

Story behind the song
Like "Chief Joseph" this song was composed and sung at the keyboard - and recorded while improvising. No preparatory time was given... the song just compelled a performance, and the story was told without a moment for thinking or laying any groundwork. A pure improvisation.
