lyrics
I’m a self-made man
I made myself do
All of those things
That I ought not do
I’m a selfish man
I thought you knew
It’s shouted in halls
And whispered in the pews
I got my pick and spade
I’m digging my own grave
One foot in the gates
And the other on the blade
I’ve been torn down
I’ve been humbled
And the roads that I paved
Have all washed away
I have torn out
All of your lessons
These are confessions
Of a self-made man
I’m a fire brand
All cinder and spark
On the open sea
Atop a burning ark
It was the devils plan
For a gambling man
When the ace is marked
And the dice are bad
I’ve been torn down
I’ve been humbled
And the roads that I paved
Have all washed away
I have torn out
All of your lessons
These are confessions
Of a self-made man
These are confessions
Of a self-made man

Brunswick Ballroom show was epic. I thought Stars was my fave track. Then I listened to Match at home … sublime! I may never see EMMYLOU & Rodney Crowell & the hot band live .. but seeing Tracy & Dan & the GoodLife live is amazing!! Thank you 🙏🏼 cinders
Philadelphia-based Labrador make unfussy and empathetic alt-country meant to sincerely bolster the downcast in times of strife. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2023
This is some great music for a morose, rainy day. Lush, sedate, bluesy, and with a certain apocalyptic flair, most evident on White Horses, which sounds very much like a psychedelic blues dirge.
I appreciate that the songs sometimes lose themselves along the way, giving way to some beautiful psych explorations. I also enjoy the vocals on this - they sometimes waver, but they fit the music so well. Smekermann
