about

Cover song of Dick Curless - Originally released in 1968.

The acclaimed early works of the folk/acoustic project stroszek have been sold out and unavailable for quite some time, but now in 2013 we are pleased to reintroduce these monumental albums in the form of a special double-album reissue which includes a complete remastering of all the tracks, as well as rerecorded vocals on the “songs of remorse” album. In total, the reissued double-album will include the “songs of remorse”, and “life failures made music” full-lengths, the “the wild hunt” ep, as well as two brand new cover songs making this a must-have for stroszek fans and collectors who missed the original versions as well as for those who want to hear the updated versions of "songs of remorse" with a more apt vocal performance. Originally released between 2007-2009, this reissue, featuring brand new album art and including lyrics and liner notes allows you to embrace the darkness and melancholy of stroszek once more.

remorse - disc I
With carefully strummed minor key acoustic guitars, deliberate yet restrained piano lines, bursts of heaviness added for texture and deep, lush clean sung vocals that relay a sense of dread lurking beneath the surface, "songs of remorse" is perhaps at once one of the most melancholic yet accessible albums of 2007.

lyrics

There's a stone in yonder graveyard with my name carved in it deep
It don't tell my life story these things it can't repeat
I never had a family I never took a wife
All I have was a barroom and I dran away my life

So bury the bottle with me for it's what tore me down
So I won't be alone tonight when they put me in the ground
When they lower my body down

A drunker is a sinner on this I place no doubt
Oh the Lord won't share this palace with a thing he lives without
For the bottle is the devil and drinking is his name
Now the bottle is what took my soul and petrified my brain

So bury the bottle with me...
