about

From the new album coming soon, ‘Outsiders,’ this song started as a poem on tour after seeing two horses shrouded in fog on an early morning drive. I was listening to the news and feeling so struck by the amount of humanity and animal rage that can exist simultaneously; trembling anger and deep empathy, hatred and faith, prejudice and love. The poem was an attempt to explore the weight of our animal selves, that flashing and instinctual fear that makes us small and blindly intolerant. And that distinctly human capacity to rise up out of fear, to learn and grow and change and get free.

lyrics

Two dark horses just appearing, early morning fog
Breath like engines overheating, rising up and gone
Holy light across the pasture, barbed wire fences built to trap them
Two dark horses running faster, than they’ve ever run

Two dark horses, sweating, leaning, thunderous and wild
Flanked in low mist slowly leaving, red sun on the rise
Scars where darker forces whipped them, filled their mouths with blood and bit them
Two dark horses flying, lifting, weightless just this once

two dark horses, hallelujah, watch them disappear
powerful as dancers moving, low against the air
Thunder on the black horizon, rolling wild electric skyline
two dark horses, storm behind them, freedom finally come
