Road Maps by The Hungry Pyknic published on 2023-12-15T02:01:10Z Road Maps is a blues-inspired song about a knight who did not go to the previous crusade and longed for the glory given to those who did and came back. The song follows his attempt to rendevous with a large military group he belongs to, but is late to the party; he meets interesting and colourful characters throughout his quest to take up arms, with each character symbolizing, codifying and exuding themes of honour, enchantment, potential, backstabbery, and cowardice. Once our character arrives at the battle scene he's been searching for, he sees his side has already lost and tries to slip away unharmed. LYRICS: The sky is blue And the trees are green Armour shining in the sun. Headin' out east to Valence No the battle has not begun. Out on the road Ran into Raymond of Tolosa, His words are rogue From his battles over Asia. Who blusters by But the defacto Margrave boy! Only fools fly. The same as the others employ They are a king's toy. Their swords are sharp, But their minds are bare Absolving absolution: Been sent out here to conquer Lord they can't save themselves. The sky is red And the land is rich Signs of victory prevail. Egressing to Durazzo Ohh what it might entail. Through distant peaks Met the Moneyman of Milan, The Byz repeats Underneath the consecration song. As months go on See the Wealthy Barvarian! Their greed is strong. He escaped a contrarian But he was no barbarian. Their swords are sharp, But their minds are bare Absolving absolution: Been sent out here to conquer Lord they can't save themselves. The sky is grey And the walls are high Enemy of a lost cause. Runnin' on past Nicea No time to greet a pause. The sky is black And the trees are burnt A force surrounds to assert. Over the Isle of Cypress How many more will revert. A broken siege Constable Conrad wants to win, Thou doth beseech The sounds and sights are feeling grim. Down on the ground Steven the Coward was redeemed! His oath was bound. The process fails at the seams Must leave swiftly unseen. No matter where you're from, Or the suit you wear If then presented a path: Better not choose the wrong one You could meet the devil's wrath! Whatever one may want Or the aim you take Your target's in the distance: Better deem your ambition It's chosen by admission! If you take up in arms And meet a dismal end Outlived by a narrative: Create a clear perspective Tale tales so affected! Their swords are sharp, But their minds are bare Absolving absolution: Been sent out here to conquer Lord they can't save themselves.

Slides right into the groove from the start and stays there! Makes one hungry for some Leslie West or Zepp! And the cover artโs medieval scenery transports ones imagination to sort of scene conjured by the Sabโs The Wizard .. Good groove! 2024-03-23T03:11:39Z Comment by Devils Lake Revival Great track and southern vibes ๐Beautiful work 2024-03-22T03:34:52Z Comment by Carlos R yes!! 2024-03-06T21:40:14Z Comment by Sergey Melody ๐๐ฅ 2024-03-06T19:40:18Z Comment by philippe blanc - composer puissant! 2024-03-03T06:48:59Z Comment by Kenny Hultqvist aw nice one great track well done.๐ถ๐๐๐ 2024-03-02T06:02:39Z Comment by Jeff Roberts what a great story premise! you oughta let Werner Herzog have a go at the movie; nice twist -- knight errant blues!! 2024-02-28T13:43:12Z Comment by King Dodo ๐ค 2024-02-22T23:32:45Z Comment by Camille Bordelon love that slide 2024-02-19T07:37:35Z Comment by aKa nice work, like it 2024-02-14T20:20:13Z Comment by DAVID KEENER Sweet! 2024-02-05T21:41:28Z Comment by Donna Dior Very Cool Sound & Track !!! 2024-02-05T13:07:25Z Comment by Mjolund Music haha dope sound โค๏ธ 2024-01-31T16:45:21Z Comment by Eoin Shannon Nice!!!! love this ๐ชจ ๐ธ ๐ค 2024-01-31T08:00:20Z Comment by Robinson Rox super dope 2024-01-31T00:46:24Z Comment by Robinson Rox yes! 2024-01-31T00:46:17Z Comment by Michael Hopkins sounds great guys. 2024-01-30T09:20:11Z Comment by Zibo you have a great stuff. this voice and the guitar oh my god I wish I could perform in a band with you. you have all the talent to make a great career. keep going mate.spot on๐ 2024-01-27T09:16:53Z Comment by Edge Of The Void Love the bluesy rock feel.
