Written in memory of my Grandfather, Rober Barlage. Dedicated to those who have experienced pain in losing a loved one. There is joy. Victory is won. Death is only the beginning.
lyrics
A small town boy from the great midwest
with the weight of the world, upon his chest
A southern sea and a foreign shore
from the great midwest, to the great world war
His feet grow tired and tears fill his eyes
as smoke from the gunfire, fills the skies
And gently he falls to a knee
Lord I need rest, I need angels wings
When my days on earth are done
I will raise a banner high
for I have won
Curse the winter storm, that stole my son
for he was the only one, of whom I loved
Raise your glasses high, raise them high
for this is the day, we say goodbye
When my days on earth are done
I will raise a banner high
for I have won
May the tears you cry cease, weep no more
for there is no more pain
for I am home
May the tears you cry cease, weep no more
for there is no more pain
for I am home

Dan Sheron has a rare talent for telling compelling stories set to incredible music. October's Road is a thing of beauty, a record to get lost in at a time when too many see music as either a disposable single use commodity or as sonic wallpaper. Fantastic. Martin Elliott
On “Meet Me By the River,” Dawn Landes’s self-described “Nashville record,” buoyant country melodies settle deep into lush instrumentation. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2018
