Aberdeen 03:52
Aberdeen, Aberdeen I knew you so well. though your grace is far behind me and my word is shot to Hell. It's a pity to remember, it's a fault to forget. Aberdeen, Aberdeen I don't know you yet. Aberdeen, Aberdeen what once was so near. I put sea and sky between us just to try and disappear. Oh, I'd set the story straight what is false and what is fear. Aberdeen, Aberdeen my song is sincere. Aberdeen, Aberdeen, I can't let you win. There's nothing left to say here so silence amends. How do stories sit straight, how does jagged learn to lean? Aberdeen, Aberdeen unfortunate queen. Aberdeen, Aberdeen they're talkin' in town. Though your grace is far behind you they've fashioned you a crown. So the hearts left in the wake will learn to swim or sink and drown. Aberdeen, Aberdeen ah can't you hear the sound? My country heart is never more to see that green. Doomed from the start a Southern Gothic dream in the midst of Georgia pine I swear I hear you speak to me. Aberdeen, Aberdeen I knew you so well. though your grace is far behind me and my word is shot to Hell. It's a pity to remember, it's a fault to forget. Aberdeen, Aberdeen I don't know you yet.

about

The By & By are a new Boston band taking a fresh approach to American Roots music. Here, we've dug up some of our favorite traditional tunes---tunes we learned from dusty recordings, hymnals, mentors and friends---and approached them with a shared language of jazz and improvisation. The resulting music is inventive and yet familiar, forging new territory for the American string band sound.
