    A moody little number. A bit of Leonard Cohen and a bit of David Gilmour. It's about that moment of moving on when the world is bigger than you
    CD: Thin Veneer   Label: Quarter Tank Collective Records
    Credits: Kevin Bowers Wrote this one

    Story Behind the Song
    Wrote this after too many moody Sweedish Bergman movies. Think stark landscape, intriguing maybe violent characters, and a kid with angst in his gut about to move on. Oh ya and crickets. Recorded in my studio, lots of guitar tracks (6 or 7). I think we got a good production on this one, and the voice of the song works.

    Lyrics
    OVER ON THE HILL
    (Words and Music by Kevin Bowers)

    Over on the hill
    Soldier and gambler came
    When the soldier bummed a cigarette
    I could smell perfume
    That’s the smell of another I left crying
    After sorting out my solitude
    Love give me something to do

    The Gambler took the bottle
    Danced around the fire
    His face it filled with laughter
    His golden tooth did shine
    This is it kid, the carnival is in town
    The caravan is sleeping
    Tomorrow you will go

    The crickets filled my silence
    ‘Cause I didn’t know what to do
    Then he said look at the moon
    I was surprised to see
    The moon looking back at me
    Staring at your feet
    You’ve never been so far from walking
    Love give me something to do
