Let's call this week over, and roll out the weekly musical finale.
This week's finale features a country tune I stumbled across which sounds a bit more like a rock song: Spider in the Roses by Sonia Leigh and Daphne Willis.
The story behind the song, from No Country for New Nashville:
“Spider in the Roses” is a fierce and infectious track that cautions the listener about a woman who isn’t quite as sweet as she seems. Although the lyrics are expertly weaved using the creepy crawly as a metaphor, Willis says the song’s premise came about after the pair actually stumbled upon a spider lurking in a nearby rose bush.
“We looked at each other and just laughed,” Leigh explains. “We didn’t even have to say it. We started making up lyrics right there. The next day we were hanging out with our friend Libby Umstead. She loved the idea and we dove right in. Sometimes songs write themselves. This one felt like it already existed, we just needed to bring it to life. We later went back to LA and recorded it with producers Nick Furlong, Colin Brittain, and guitarist Carmen Vandenberg from the UK band BONES. It was nothing short of magic.”It is amazing how art can immortalize even a simple arachnid.
That is all for me this week. Enjoy your weekend, and come back Monday for more.
