We call that old cabin the Whippoorwill
Drawing up plans from wicker thrones
All of the best ideas they come from you
You let me find them on my own
And we parade them into every room
And when you leave I let them go
All my kingdom for a weekend
All our kingdoms slip away
Another draft in your apartment
Catch the smell of rust and pine
Mixing in winter coffee canisters
Gin up a spell that stalls for time
All my kingdom for a weekend
All our kingdoms slip away
All of your favorite time it comes from me
So you put it on the calendar
And you save it in your phone
All my kingdom for a weekend
All our kingdoms slip away
Drawing up plans from wicker thrones
All of the best ideas they come from you
You let me find them on my own
And we parade them into every room
And when you leave I let them go
All my kingdom for a weekend
All our kingdoms slip away
Another draft in your apartment
Catch the smell of rust and pine
Mixing in winter coffee canisters
Gin up a spell that stalls for time
All my kingdom for a weekend
All our kingdoms slip away
All of your favorite time it comes from me
So you put it on the calendar
And you save it in your phone
All my kingdom for a weekend
All our kingdoms slip away

I thought this was the Samples for a minute! Sounds great!
Beautiful harmonies. Eternally grateful to you William and Alanna.
Darlingside are one of the many bands that RP has introduced me to, and for which I remain very grateful. I make whatever financial contribution I can afford, and send warm thanks by way of making up the difference.




Listening to this one again now - and this is a technique they employ in many of their songs - I'm particularly appreciating the way they use that dampened, percussive attack on acoustic instruments to create dynamic energy and drive the rhythm.
They're just such a talented and creative bunch of musicians / songwriters and everyone here in this humble hut loves them!
Thank you RP for making my cold, wet, Pacific Northwest day a whole lot brighter by including Darlingside in your playlists!
