about

A song filled with memories of Death and new beginnings. With the sound of my sons voice as a baby in the beginning, to the grieving lines of a passed father and star studded hero. This song stopped and started as it was written slowly over time plastered against hardship and growth. ‘What a simple pleasure just to shake your hand’. Outlines the grief and missed opportunity buried within the experiences detailed in this song ultimately appreciating the new stars born into such a complex life-giving universe.

lyrics

Break the early day from dawn,
There’s a heart beat in that dear old prison song,
Pull away your hardened shell,
What a simple pleasure just to shake your hand,
Just to shake your hand,

Hold on to your body,
I’ll show you what failings like,
A glass of whisky and mountains to climb,
And I’ll remember you,
And this song,
And I’ll remember how you came along,

Blue eyed robin window pane,
Moldy hands hold reigns that drive the spirit home,
Yeah you wish your face was smooth like Gods,
Candy red sunshine holds my shadows hands, holds my shadows hands,

Who ruled the game? I’ll think about you now and then, and hope you know how I feel, yeah, how I feel

Sail Cassady came alive while reading ‘on the road’ by Jack Kerouac in 2012. The adventure, art and imagery held within the parameters of a single book birthed the idea that the same concept could be experienced within a song or a band.
