about
The Lost Ark Studio presents "Sinnerman" by Rose’s Pawn Shop, the latest single from the Lost Ark Studio Compilation - Vol. 09. Enjoy!
As so many fortuned events have unfolded, it was through a series of chance meetings, twists of fate, and a little help from Craigslist, that Paul Givant met kindred spirits in Stephen Andrews, John Kraus, Tim Weed and Christian Hogan. Together they began building the music and the band that would soon become Rose’s Pawn Shop. They combined, in their collective musical melting pot, the old style American sounds of Woody Guthrie, Bill Monroe, and Hank Williams with a higher energy approach more reminiscent of modern Alt-Rock, all with a deeply melodic songwriting sensibility. The goal was to create a sound that was unique, yet imbued with a sense of familiarity.
They confront traditional country music themes of loss, lamentation, and redemption, with a couple of drinking songs for good measure. Sure, they’re borrowing pages from the books of Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, and Johnny Cash, but Rose’s Pawn Shop takes those pages, tears them up and sets them on fire with three and four part vocal harmonies and lyrics that’ll break your heart.
lyrics
Rose’s Pawn Shop - Sinnerman
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to
All on them day
Well I ran to the rock, rock please hide me
I ran to the rock please hide me
I ran to rock please hide me
All on them day
But the rock cried out I can’t hide you
The rock cried out I can’t hide you
The rock cried out I can’t hide you
All on them day
I ran to the river it was boiling
I ran to the sea it was bleeding
I ran to the sea it was bleeding
All on them day
And I called to the Lord please save me
Called to the Lord, Lord please save me
I called to the Lord, lord please save me
All on them day
But he said go to the devil he’s waiting
He said go to the devil he’s waiting
Go to the devil he’s waiting
All on them day
Power, power to the Lord
Power, power to the Lord
Power, power to the Lord
Power, power to the Lord
