about

“Deep Down” is the upcoming single from modern roots duo, Joselyn & Don, a follow up of their 2020 debut album "Soar." Its swampy guitars, powerful blues-tinged vocals and ethereal lyrics embody the spirit of nature come to reclaim her wild heart in no uncertain terms. Don’s heavy guitar hooks and rhythmic work are juxtaposed with syncopated drums, creating a hypnotic feel. Whether this is a song or a spell is debatable, but this Gothic Western blues will compel its listeners to dig in.

lyrics

I was here, before you were, a whisper in the wind
Quiet down, feet on the ground, I’ll tell it like it is
My seeds and bones are buried here, deep in Mother Earth
You might think that I’m long gone, but it’s time for my rebirth

I am, deep down in the riverbed, down in the riverbed
Deep down in the riverbed, I'm down in the riverbed
They tried to bury me, but I’m still here
Down in the riverbed

I got willow for what pains you, yarrow for what burns
Centuries of knowing, if you listen to my words
I’m the cool air of the canyon, the shiver down your spine
Look back over your shoulder, and remember you were mine

I am, deep down in the riverbed, down in the riverbed
Deep down in the riverbed, I'm down in the riverbed
They tried to bury me, but I’m still here
Down in the riverbed

Some they come to seek me, some they come to cry
Some they are my songs and daughters, very much alive
You can cover me with concrete, build a city on my bones
But I could bring it crumbling down, if I let you hear my moans

They go Hey, Hey Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey Hey, Hey

Tonight turn off your bright lights, step into the dark
Pull your shawl around you, put your face up to the stars
Slide your bare feet on the ground, dirt between your toes
Close your eyes let me inside, your soul already knows

I am, deep down in the riverbed, down in the riverbed
Deep down in the riverbed, I'm down in the riverbed
