bright purple thighs

Liner Notes
i got a lot of lyrics and many recordings to do.
this is one of the last lyrics that i force-fawmed my way through.
captivating and all completely true.
played this on fender FA-100 number three. low action with some string buzz, but better than #1. i think i'll have to do a multi-track with all 6 of the cheap acoustics here.
Lyrics
started out the month under the blade the hazy mornings after where my sick bed bones were laid when I look back at these long february nights seared in my mind – bright purple thighs.
incision, well-hidden from my view sewn beneath the wound sheath my femur head brand new my titanium saviour in the xray tells no lies and the angels in my tissues give these bright purple thighs
finishing the month back on my feet still gimpy now but on the mend crutching down the street when I look back on these long february nights seared in my mind – bright purple thighs

I dig this a lot! The guitar and horn work well together and the vibe is great!
(Also - assuming that this autobiographical, I'm glad you are back on your feet! And hope you recover quickly)
Love it!
Really liked the percussiveness of the vocal delivery, especially on the last three words. Hope you are on the mend 💚
Love the chord progression and choppy rhythm. Lyrics tell a tale of suffering, hope you are healing well. Here i am queueing up for knee surgery, kinda glad it now it is not my hips as well. 😎
Oh I like this! All of it. Words, rhythm, delivery.
And I've been there. Long time ago now. Had a bad motorbike accident when I was 25.
I'm just sitting here. . . listening and smiling.
