Shadows is such a cheap shot dude. It’s a tune written about quarantine during the middle of a quarantine. Clearly gonna be introspective and not at all what OP is talking about.
We’ve had this discussion before, the Can’t Stop/Bayou sound is the calling card of 4.0 live shows. And despite Bartender/LITHOG finding a mellower footing, newer songs like Birds and VITR just aren’t getting played. And that sound was disappearing from the band.
That said, I’m hopeful and tend to think that the quarantine has caused a shift, where we might see a folkier, mellower, Americana DM..with a focus on his acoustic playing/tiny songs/Prine/Simon covers, etc.
Although as long as Buddy is in the band, I’m afraid we’ll be Bayouing
