about

"Lady" is an epic rocking ballad for the ages, one that a band like Black Oak would've taken to the bank. Gentle guitar picking over a nice organ sound lead us in gently, until that big guitar chord kicks in and launches us off into a soaring world of psychedelic blues rock. The melody here is big, I mean arena-sized big, and this song would've brought the lighters out in full force during a big 70's rock festival -- alternating with huge dudes rocking out to air guitar. Lead singer Seth Copeland reveals a classic, soulful voice, aged and perfectly weathered in the time tunnel of the Midwestern classic bands that preceded. Dustin Ray (Headshot) on drums and Brandon Gibson keep the song tight through the rocking passages and the slower, blusier moments. Meanwhile, Ryan McGowan and Bentley Smith tear it up on guitar, laying the foundation for what will be recognized as the classic Deadweight sound; combating layers of that searing guitar. Perhaps the Black Crowes could've come up with a song like this in their prime, but I think not. This is something better. -Ripple Effect

lyrics

Lady can’t you see your getting older

Lately blue eyes been getting colder

In the autumn of my night I want to see you shine a light

Maybe maybe you could have saved me

With the charms, chakras you gave me

When the leaves fall to my face

I’ll rise in your elected grace

There was a time I walked in your shadow

And the winds of autumn blew my hair to and fro

But now the creek bed’s dry like a heart in the holler (lol wtf is this)

And I feel I gotta let go

Now I can’t see for the forest

Dry veins, dead tree spread

Drag my nails in the dirt

Lift my weary head
