about

This version of Golden Lights was recorded well before the Dead Surfer sessions were ignited by kickstarter fans. Bil Bowen and Michael Hayes went into Kissy Pig to hash out demos in 2009 during the band's hiatus, just the two of them with drums and acoustic guitar, and Kerm Mogensen behind the board. Hayes added electric guitar, bass and harmonies, and Jody Blackwell came in for some background vox as well. Later, Santospago added lead guitars, effects and this made brilliant remix.

lyrics

Yesterday the dailies came to you
flowers on the table with bread
golden lights, golden lights
yesterday the dailies came to you
ripped up on a Saturday evening
dried up in a sermon's repair
passing wine, passing wine
another day's paid self-medication
how did all the years go by
we sang your song a thousand times
every time I close my eyes
I wonder where we'll be
in the morning

all the booze you lifted on
all the sizes you've worn
all the years you wasted for so long..
all the news you've written
all the signs you carried
all the lies you buried for so long

Flowers on a passing by casket
towers in a state of disrepair
golden lights, golden lights
a glimmer that fades into your sunset

all the booze you lifted on
all the wars you've waged
all the shame you've carried for so long
