Dead Man's Fingers is a deeply personal song that I (Drew) wrote for and as my wife following her father's death in 2019. The voice you hear in the song is my wife's talking to her father on his deathbed. She was struggling finding her the words for her final goodbyes, and when she finally did, she continued to struggle. The trouble with last words is they're never perfect, but they last forever. With this song I wanted to give merit to decision to remain true to herself and to convey that it is okay to be angry, sad, happy and grieving all at once, and that there's no good way to say goodbye.
lyrics
Can I tell you a secret, can I tell you a lie?
Can I tell you what’s really wrong with my life?
Half the part’s knowing, the hard parts growing
Drove down to Florida to put it all to rest
But every Palm tree was like a ghost from my past
Do you know how many Palm trees there are in Florida?
That’s a lot of ghosts
Surprised myself with how much I cared
How angry I was, but also how scared
Sat under a willow and listened to that brook
His leaves like a dead man’s fingers, reflecting back, begging me to look
Well, I’m sorry I came here, and I’m sorry I care
Sorry for everything I carried here
But I can’t be sorry for you, and
You know that too
Crow flowers, nettles, daisies, long purples
So much sadness, so much wrong in this world
But so much beauty, and so much right, too
Watching the wind like watching your last breath
It comes and it goes, and come back again
Can you feel that breeze on the back of your neck?
It’s simple, I know, but I haven’t accepted it yet
It’s simple, I know, but I haven’t accepted it yet

Simple finger picking with haunting vocals, perfect arrangements and top notch production make this my favorite album for chillin'. Think croissant: each buttery layer creates a mouth watering treat. The Naked Sun
