The multi-platinum country trio are touring in support of "What a Song Can Do Chapter One ," the first installment of their first full-length release as Lady A. The tour makes a stop at Ak-Chin Pavilion at 7 p. From the time the trio came together with Dave Haywood rounding out the lineup in until June 11, , they were known as Lady Antebellum.
They dropped the Antebellum part as Black Lives Matter protests were inspiring a national reckoning on racial justice. The decision inspired a backlash on several fronts, from those who thought they should've kept the name to those who viewed it as a token gesture.
So when we came up with that name, it felt Southern rock and very graceful. It wasn't until some non-white friends said they felt it was "kind of offensive" that Kelley realized it was maybe not as graceful-sounding as he hoped. As for the country fans who feel they should've kept the Antebellum, Kelley isn't buying that.
We're all evolving. This world is evolving. And as we create a more culturally accepting world, this is just part of the things that need to be done. Within a day of the trio announcing their decision to rebrand themselves, the focus of the story had already shifted to the fact there is another Lady A.
Wait Around 7. Except For Us 8. Shake It For Me feat. While the lilt of your language it made me think that I was sinking with the wreckage of that old ship. Even though our love has long been dead, its ghosts will follow to the foot of my deathbed. I ain't no brother I ain't no son.
There ain't no Aubergine in my blood. I ain't no warrior or king but how I am one when I sing, when I sing sing sing. While the vena cava - the most superior, the queen is bringing blood into the chamber always into your chamber. When gravity's a palm pushing down on your head like the devil's got a paw dug in your shoulder and the other one is rubbing your back.
But the kitchen in the new place has a window , yeah you can grow basil on the sill - maybe you can call your neighbors by name now.
Berries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living still this feels like eating the meat of the mountain. It's all grit and gristle i can't chew and swallow, I'm gnawing my way back home.
The clouds look a lot like wool gone through the wash. I check my phone for the time but I still wear my watch. The kind of high I like is when I barely make the train and the people with a seat smile big at me because they know the feeling and for a millisecond we share a look like a family does, like we have inside jokes, like we could call each other by little nicknames. And I could tell the story of how my great grandmothers' sister was deemed a saint, how they exhumed her body after years of being buried and they found she hadn't even begun to sully so they moved her again, straight into the Vatican.
I think of all the billions of eyes all looking at something different at the same time and I feel nauseous. Some days i can only see into my suitcase. It's got everything I need plus some superstitious things I may also need. I just want to fall into a pile of warm laundry. I just wanna keep very very quiet, yeah. Thought I saw you on the platform in Amsterdam and I nearly missed my train and I felt so defeated til I jumped on to see all the warm smiles were for me.
I made my train and it made me so happy. I made my train and it made me forget everything. It made me forget, made me forget made me forget made me forget everything it made me forget made me forget made me forget made me forget made me forget everything. You build a nest of yellow yarn, you hope to god the yellowed yard is soft enough to break your fall should you fall, should you fall.
Blood is let and tears are kept in hollow chests while sweat's ignored however spent, our tears are sweat just kept secret and strewn from pores.
Keep your silence golden and words important, you're only a handsome animal. Heretic, spit out your gum and bite your tongue - you're gonna eat your words you're gonna finish your milk, you're gonna drop your gun. Heretic, when you show us your notes and you stroke your chin you think you're up that you were tagged and you're it, you think you've already won. But the sun is burning a hole in your head, the sun is burning a hole in your head.
You should stay in the shade, Copernicus cause the sun is burning a hole in your head. Heretic, hysterical and ill-equipped historically to cope with what you say you see through your scope.
Heretic, what you know about the stars we don't care a bit cause we know in our hearts we are the only ones we are the favorite. And we don't care what you see in the sky, no we don't care what you see in the sky.
Galileo Galilee Galilae Galeli we don't care what you see in the sky. Heretic, this is not just house arrest.
Don't spend the rest of your life taking back, taking back what you said. Cause you and I are concentric- let's learn about black holes, unplug the television set. Let's ponder the true builders of the pyramids and then let's order in.
Cause I know it ain't no lie I know it ain't no lie. We both saw the lights. If you're a heretic then so am I. You scuffed your sunday shoes when you leapt the fence to chase the wolves from your baby sister who was eating dirt in the flowerbed near the house where your mother hung her head and wept for the lord to fill her up like buttermilk pancakes at sunday brunch. The town was swept away in oceans of praise with talk about how we're headed home and how we'll all be held in the arms of the most selfless love and the good that we have all done is already written down and we shall all become a phenomenon.
You scuffed your sunday shoes when you leapt the fence to save your sister from those hungry wolves but you fell the wrong way yeah you broke your leg and now the animals are turning their heads they're turning- no now they're turning back they're turning back.
To take you to their den and lick your bones, to take you down to their home and kiss all on your bones but don't be afraid to go with them, don't be afraid to be carried home. The sky, it will open it up it will swallow you whole but don't worry my love, it will feel so nice on your soul, so nice on your soul.
You will be laid to rest by gentle hands and you will be sorely missed by your mother and your father and you will become your most favorite color.
And like the dinosaurs, discovered and laid to rest, like the dinosaurs puzzled over and laid to rest. Like the dinosaurs pieced back together and laid to rest so don't you fret for your baby sister now. Now I'm sitting on the train and I am peeling an orange. I glance over nonchalantly at a woman, she is yawning and though this sight is common, I am abruptly mesmerized and it strikes me in this moment for the first time in my life how strange we all are, animal hearts pumping that animal, animal blood.
Was I born wild? Have I been asleep this whole damn time dreaming up a life? Will I awake to find that i'm deep in the woods and i'm snarling on all fours? I could be cracked open like a cartoon watermelon. Then you would see the solar system suspended in me.
It's the same one in you that pulses and spins. We're just made of flecks of the heaven's spat out spit. We are filled with the gore from long before and I'm through starting wars to make you see me a warrior. Some ancient answers have since been unearthed, still all these abandoned buildings they had to get built and who were these architects who left their work?
I left my body in the bed but my head floated through the ceiling. Will I awake to find that I'm deep in the woods and i'm snarling on all fours? Maybe when we are gone, you can have our bedrooms as your own. And we can't seem to find a stable table so we'll just take our eggs and we'll be on our way and when we pay your toll, you should pay us a compliment like, 'you have lovely eyes' or 'your bone structure is quite exquisite.
Take a swim in the water, take a swim in the water dear Arkansas daughter. You with the dark curls, you with the watercolor eyes. Test your MusicIQ here! In Lyrics. By Artist. By Album.
