    The Streams "today, I died" is 14 songs lyrically centered around the bloodbath of the American Civil war. This band smoked a li'l too much Ken Burns back in the day, released two vinyl 45 records and called it quits. In 2011 engineer Ron Sutfin baked the original mixed master tape reels and resurrected the band's album who's title; today, I died was the final entry in a soldier's dairy as told in Burns' The Civil War documentary. The album released 20 years after the fact is not necessarily for history buffs, The Streams' intent was to play hard rocking and heart breaking songs with the drama and panoramic sensorial impression of the great undoing that was the Civil War. The Streams: Dave Brooks, Jeff Wiederschall, Spike Priggen, Bill Beckett. Recorded at Studio Red, Philadelphia by Adam Lasus.

about

Inspiration: Cormac McCarthy

lyrics

Ride the sun up Ride it back down
Ride the sun up Ride it back down

Forked tongues of vipers
Licks of lightning out on the plain
The rain ain’t hit us yet
But its coming all the same

Crossed the river shy of sundown
Quickly threw together a small fire
Raindrops sizzle on embers
And there’s nothing in the pack to eat- so I ride

Dawn breaks over the land
With sheets of cold rain coming down
Ride out over the country
‘til the sun bursts through the clouds

a mule train camp at night
Draws me into their fire
They hand me beans and tortillas
I sleep and before dawn I rise

I stand staring watching the plain melt up to the sky
It stands to reason that the world laughs to trick the eye

I don’t anymore know why I ride
I don’t anymore know why I rise
