about

Black Rodeo is either a song about racial politics disguised as a love song, or a love song disguised as a song about racial politics.

Co-produced by Seth Richardson and Matt Lohan, this song was tracked in full at the Dyado home studio in Louisa's grandfathers barn, in Camden, Maine.

lyrics

I've got a Gibson J-50 and a pack of smokes
If you wanted I could take you to the black rodeo.
You always remind me of a dream I wrote,
lets make something out of nothing everywhere we go.

Could I be lost here, could it be that I've been found.

There's a backwoods preacher with a broken nose.
There aint nothing but static on the radio.
There's six bullets in the back of a man I know,
and heaven is a place that nobody goes.
You're living in hell or you're dead on the road.

Could we get lost here, I don't want us to be found.

I got graves for digging, I got dice to roll.
I got a ring for your finger, and a broken soul.
So my long lean woman with the eyes that glow,
We could run away together to Mexico.
I've got a 750 and man she goes..

Could we be lost here, I don't want us to be found.

Dyado (pronounced dee-yah-dough) is the project of east coast songwriters Louisa Stancioff and Matt Lohan. The two are cousins who reconnected later in life, and bonded over playing classic country, and writing songs. Together, they have crafted a hazy, film-grain sound that phases between dreamy California beach days, and fall fields drenched in fog. ... more
