about

"In the early days of the pandemic I was trying to cheer myself up at home any way I could and my favorite method became watching British TV shows like Bake Off and most importantly, The Repair Shop. It's a delightful show where they repair well loved items which have often been handed down through a family. It made me think about my own life, legacy and yes, death as well as my own very well loved guitar (a high school graduation present made but the incredibly skilled luthier Joel Keefe Shoemaker)." - Holly

lyrics

LYRICS:
Death is sewn to our feet like a shadow
The tragic grace as we waltz to our life’s song
Pirouet down the streets of your hometown

No use trying to pretend
‘Cause we all live with the end

When I die wipe my prints from the fretboard
Unbraid all of the words from my songs
Cast my bones in lake Pend Oreille’s shallows

And don’t let me hang around
‘Cause the dead tend to bring the mood down

[Chorus]
I could never be someone else
Light casts a shadow dance, shadow dance
The night falls with one last chance
And I thought you’d never ask, never ask


Somewhere there’s a great tower of records
Triumphs, trials and ultimate failures
Things you said at inopportune moments

That’s the life you have led
The fates boil you down to a thread

Pearly gates or if reincarnation
When my life hits the last stop at the station
I will savor every emotion

Though we all live with regrets
It was a life well spent

[Chorus x2]

The songwriting is ever poignant, painting a picture with nostalgia. Shadow Dance, as the name implies, plays with the themes of loss and hope and how the two criss cross through our lives.
