Gravedancer - 'The Spice of Life' field recording

Shot and recorded by @NickFutch

The Spice of Life

Take me on a pub crawl in a far and distant land
Kentucky Derby, Eiffel Tower, Ikea, or Iran
Set me on a sailboat and I'll let the compass spin
Just take me some place I have never been

Fill my plate with fast food or some three star Michelin
Give me lakes of gravy or a dish that's au gratin
Relish me in recipes boiled, braised, or basted
Just make me something I have never tasted

Give me sunshine, give me rain
All of life's pleasures, some of its pain
If you walk a mile in my shoes
Please give them back cause my bare feet are getting bruised

Play me a new instrument, a strange and foreign sound
Write lyrics in a language the translation's not been found
Don't you dare play Wonderwall, nor Stairway or Free Bird
Just sing me a song I have never heard

Give me sunshine, give me rain
All of life's pleasures, some of its pain
If you walk a mile in my shoes
Please give them back cause my bare feet are getting bruised

I'll rendezvous with a blonde or two
Brown curls or straight black hair
Short or tall, hell, big or small
I never really cared
Variety in my company and no need for dialogue
Yes, I like every single kind of dog

Give me sunshine, give me rain
All of life's pleasures, some of its pain
If you walk a mile in my shoes
Please give them back cause my bare feet are getting bruised

Absolutely amazing! I loved the song and also the incidental squirrel! I only saw it the second time I watched. haha

This is my new favorite song. My first time hearing it was him live in NO on Tuesday night. Can't stop listening to it. Beautiful tune.

[ethanhamilton]

Heard this song for the first time at your show in Indy earlier this month, and it was my favorite song of the night. Had me grinning ear to ear (a rarity) the whole time, especially that curveball in the last verse!

[laureldakini]

This sound touch touched my soul. Thank you so much!!

[SafetyMentalst]

The spice of life is in all of the variety
Some of a faithful life seek out piety
Some of wayward life seek sobriety
Some searching variety face anxiety
Variety is the spice of life in society

[justanobodymusic]

this sound really good, by the way, I'm a big fan from Iran 😀, just wanted to say that it's not I-ran, it's Iran, it's pronounced like E + Run not I + Run 😉👍
