In 40 years of going to shows, Bill Callahan moved me more than any other performer. I didn't even know any of his songs before a friend took me to the show, and I never forgot any of them after it. Especially this one, and 'Rock Bottom Riser'. Thank you, Bill Callahan.
That’s funny, this was the first time I had seen him as well. Aside from a few Smog selections, I was completely unfamiliar with his material. His performance that night totally blew me away and stuck with me.
"Say Valley Maker" Intense song and awesome performer! "With the grace of a corpse In a riptide I let go And I slide, slide, slide Downriver With an empty case by my side An empty case That's my crime And I sing Say Valley Maker To keep from cursing Yes I sing Say Valley Maker To keep from cursing River oh, river end River oh, river end River go, river bend Take me through the sweet valley Where your heart blooms, blooms, blooms Take me through the sweet valley Where your heart is covered in dew And when the river dries Will you bury me in wood Where the river dries Will you bury me in stone Oh, I never really realized Death is what it meant To make it on my own Because there is no love Where there is no obstacle And there is no love Where there is no bramble There is no love On the hacked away plateau And there is no love In the unerring And there is no love On the one true path Oh I cantered out here Now I'm galloping back So bury me in wood And I will splinter Bury me in stone And I will quake Bury me in water And I will geyser Bury me in fire And I'm gonna phoenix I'm gonna phoenix"

Beautiful!
"Say Valley Maker"
Intense song and awesome performer!
"With the grace of a corpse
In a riptide
I let go
And I slide, slide, slide
Downriver
With an empty case by my side
An empty case
That's my crime
And I sing
Say Valley Maker
To keep from cursing
Yes I sing
Say Valley Maker
To keep from cursing
River oh, river end
River oh, river end
River go, river bend
Take me through the sweet valley
Where your heart blooms, blooms, blooms
Take me through the sweet valley
Where your heart is covered in dew
And when the river dries
Will you bury me in wood
Where the river dries
Will you bury me in stone
Oh, I never really realized
Death is what it meant
To make it on my own
Because there is no love
Where there is no obstacle
And there is no love
Where there is no bramble
There is no love
On the hacked away plateau
And there is no love
In the unerring
And there is no love
On the one true path
Oh I cantered out here
Now I'm galloping back
So bury me in wood
And I will splinter
Bury me in stone
And I will quake
Bury me in water
And I will geyser
Bury me in fire
And I'm gonna phoenix
I'm gonna phoenix"
Thank you for sharing the lyrics.
