Salt in my dreams Tracks in the bone I've never been dead this long before Star on the ground Stepped on the lie To find myself born inside a stone I'm making a cross of all you are And up on the hill I hear your name I'm making a cross of all you are And up on the hill I hear your name I'm making a cross of all you are It's never been easier Salt in my schemes Dry as a tear It's never been easy to know Frozen in fate Hooked on a line I heard you say it could be mine
I used to play this song with a girl I liked very much. I’d play acoustic guitar and she’d play keys. Then she broke my heart. I think about her often, and whenever I hear this song it’s bittersweet. But it reminds me of one of the happiest times in my life.
My favourite Desert Sessions song. My favourite Alain Johannes song. I was lucky enough to see this performed by Sound City Players (with Alain) in London... it was HEAVY!
@@PhilEisMethod i thought it sounded like Alain Johannes...? edit: it is, unless you're referring to harmonising parts... from description: Lineup: Alain - Vocal, Guitars, udu, Harmonium, cig fiddle Josh - Drums, Hi-Harmonies Sam - Bass, Slide Bass Fred - Harmonies Brendypants - Balalika
USCFlash This means the song BECAME an eulogy to Natasha... Alain and some friends played this in a concert back in that time when she passed away and he was mourning, and it was soulcrushing... so beautiful, and so sad...
Well i don't know if it became a "eulogy", just a nice song that they wrote. It was never intended as a eulogy since Natasha was 7 years away from being diagnosed with cancer in 2001. But it is a wonderful song regardless of when it was written and why.
Salt in my dreams
Tracks in the bone
I've never been dead this long before
Star on the ground
Stepped on the lie
To find myself born inside a stone
I'm making a cross of all you are
And up on the hill I hear your name
I'm making a cross of all you are
And up on the hill I hear your name
I'm making a cross of all you are
It's never been easier
Salt in my schemes
Dry as a tear
It's never been easy to know
Frozen in fate
Hooked on a line
I heard you say it could be mine
*it's never been easIER
one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

Damn dude, really? That’s incredible, I’m mad jealous you got to experience that!
So much soul, feeling and interest in the vocals. Brilliant. DS was worth doing purely for this one song.
The kind of song that is so pretty, it literally makes your heart hurt...
Rest In Peace Mark
That's Fred Drakes voice. Mark is not on this track.

That way that udu booms and screams really makes the song.

Very true
All I know is the person that thumbed this down has no soul
ay ay ay
I'm making a croissant 🥐 ....
....with eex-tra sauce.
🤣
Makes me think that Zeppelin might’ve sounded like this if they were still making music.
Who is the vocalist?
+Deniz Beyaz It's Alain Johannes.
And Mark Lanegan.
Alain makes both voices
That's definitely Lanagan
Is it dark mark too?
only sad people can afford such happy endings
My funeral song
Was this an eulogy from Alain to Natasha?
No, Natasha died in 2009, this was recorded in around 2001

Honestly, every each eleven tracks seems to me eulogies for her :D.
Cheers guys!
If you want Alain's eulogy to Natasha then check out his 2010 album, Spark. It's hauntingly beautiful.
