”If I ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hold on to it, till that eagle grins”
The lyrics are cut from an old US depression song, written by Jimmy Cox and performed by many artists after that, such as Nina Simone and Eric Clapton, to name a few.
The words are also relevant to us in these crazy times. From one day to another, the world of musicians and artists has suddenly changed in a drastic way - and the already quite uncertain situation has become even more uncertain.
Well...truth is we worked on this song for quite some time before Corona, so this twist/angle was more of a “happy” coincidence.
Recap:
Simon of Tape Machines came up with the idea to do a modern version of his dad’s old favorite blues song and Fredrik liked the idea. To ask our dear friend Limón to come onboard as a featured artist was a no brainer!
“With distorted synths, warm and energetic vocals, and a powerful beat, Tape Machines and Limón tells an old story of a man's destiny in a new and modern way.
Tape Machines feat. Limón - “Till That Eagle Grins” will be out on all digital platforms May 15th.
