lyrics

Once I was, young Tommy Joad, out on the road
Once I mined, a seam of gold, a tale untold
Once I tried, to shelter from, the bitter cold

Hold me down, hold me down

Once I fought, decorated for, exploits in war
Once I saw, an emperor, without his clothes

Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down

Once I sold, a precious stone, a flake of snow
Once I had to move along, I just let it go

Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down

Last night was free-falling
That night was me calling
This light will see all this
Rope holding on
Thrown to the ground
If I get to the top
I’ll let it go

about

The Winters Norfolk Island

Steeped in the sound of classic American folk musics—blues, country, RnB, soul, Appalachian—The Winters emerge with their own identity, some kind of hybrid of Roy Orbison and the Sir Douglas Quintet… oscillating between moody and clubby.
