Glory from Mother Engine by Amiture Music

Glory was built around this perpetual guitar riff, something that had been on our minds for a while during the writing and recording of the LP. We loved the way this riff has a 70’s country sound while feeling like so many other characters, there’s a lot of room to project your own idea onto it. Once we decided to construct the song around this riff, the rest of the melodies and words came almost immediately. The lyrics are telling this kind of legend/story from Whitescarver family lore- there’s so much repetition, we wanted it to be like the images flashing over and over with the riff- like the guitar is putting you under hypnosis.

Lyrics

I know my shit is pure
I know my shit is pure
Drive alone I can’t look at myself
Drive alone I can’t look at myself
Drive alone I can’t look at myself
Drive alone I can’t look at myself
Drive alone I can’t look at myself
Drive alone I can’t look at myself
Drive alone I can’t look at myself
I drive alone I can’t look at myself

I’ve seen a wicked man
I’ve seen a sinning man
Glory glory to the one I love
Glory glory to the one I love
Glory glory to the one I love
Glory glory to the one above
Glory glory to the one above
Glory glory to the one above
Glory glory to the one above
Glory glory to the one I love

She hangs her head in time
She breaths and leaves her life
And I wake up tied to a tree at night
Wake up tied to a tree at night
Wake up tied to a tree at night
Wake up tied to a tree at night
Wake up tied to a tree at night
Wake up tied to a tree at night
Wake up tied to a tree at night
Wake up tied to a tree at night
