Name: Red Twist
Duration: P00H01M44S
Description: A short number about arriving at a motel after a long drive. I wrote this to accompany a dreamy piece about a long drive. This piece will be re-released later this year as part of a three song EP about a road trip. I had fun playing with a synth patch on the guitar for this one.

lyrics

It's been a long day, been a long drive
flicker of a neon sign, stop for the night
try and catch the diner before they close

flop down on the bed, clothes on the chair
flip through the drawers, notebooks and bibles,
and things overlooked

beam from the street lamp, casts a red glow
Warm from the shower
I drift off

Kyla Tilley Newfoundland and Labrador

Kyla Tilley plays guitar, wears high heels, and writes sometimes sad, often funny, occasionally disconcerting, story-telling songs which rarely rhyme.
