The Familiar Song - Limited Edition Book
The album "The Familiar Song" was conceived of as a narrative -- part myth, part murder ballad, part spooky bedtime story -- and to suit the theme we have commissioned a limited run of 28 page hardcover books! The lyrics for each song are accompanied by an original illustration by Mikey Wheeler on the facing page. Each high-quality hardcover book has been signed by all members of The Widow's Ride, and comes with a download code.

Includes unlimited streaming of The Familiar Song via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Bring me all your wasted years,
Your faded photographs and broken souvenirs.
And I will burn them all.
For you.

Curse me and I will wave goodbye.
Don’t wait for me on the other side.
And my heart will no longer break
On your shore.

And I hear there’s green fields on the other side
Or so I have heard from hell.
And I hear the sun always shines
Or so I have heard from hell.

Dont bother to remember me.
Your ears were deaf to my beggars plea
Just like christ this love will stay in the grave
I gave you all the love I could give
I sang for you every song I knew
And spurned all the gifts
That the wisemen brought to me

And I hear the storm will calm and subside
Or so I have heard from hell.
And I can hear the savior calling my name.
From the other side of hell.

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 5 fans who also own “Or So I've Heard From Hell”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

FALSE FIGURE - A PROMISED END
by FALSE FIGURE

supported by 4 fans who also own “Or So I've Heard From Hell”

I like how gritty and the punk nastalgia I felt with this album! So after listening to this several times I want to give song number one 5 stars. The Tempo of this song is amazing with those guitar Melodies that are changing and almost all over the place. In this song this guys voice "kills me softly"! the lyrics are simple yet profound! "The light is Lost inside!" socially awkward
