Tributary #13: «Gila-Salt» — back home our rivers flow only when it rains + when it rains it pours | post |
1 Oct 2021 | Bologna > Stream #13 off Tributaries = «Gila-Salt», the 1st song on the 2nd disc or side 3, if we were gonna actually put this on vinyl (which seems doubtful @ this pt) > «Gila-Salt» is a fairly simple song, we recorded the initial acoustic guitar in 1 take thinking we wd just use it as reference + ended up not adding much else > our bedder-½ thinks it sounds like a Sonic Youth song (tho not sure which), which is ironic considering it's 1 of a few tracks on the album that uses conventional tuning/chords > hear's the chords 4 any 1 wanting to record it themselves
> lyrically this song is our tribute to Tucson, where we met our bedder-½ + both spent a decade ('90s) > Gila + Salt are both nearby «rivers» which we put in quotes cuz rivers in Arizona are empty washes + only flow when it rains Gila-Salt how can 1 see this river
back home our rivers flow ya ta hey, all these leaves are in the way
this gestalten shrink
on seeing the Seine
back home our rivers flow ya ta hey, all this dirt's in the way
more than part of the sum
> the «bucket + a mop» line we stole from Meat Puppets (from Arizona, big reason why we wanted 2 move there) > hear's the video featuring stolen flash-food footage from around Arizona:
