about

The album’s centerpiece, “They’ve Never Walked Through Shadows,” wades through the mystery of the afterlife with the foreboding gait of a funeral march and the choral cadence of a gospel hymn.

lyrics

There's a big black cat on a smooth pebble road
Waiting to borrow my shoes
And a little songbird warm in my pocket
Waiting to sing good news

They've never walked through shadows
(They've never walked alone)
Barefoot in the road I stand
Colder than the shiniest nickel
(Cold, but I am here)
Baby, hold my hand

Hey there you raven haired beauty
How your pink cheeks shine in this light
Join us in the darkening hour
We'll dance away the night

They've never walked through shadows
(They've never walked alone)
Barefoot in the road I stand
Colder than the shiniest nickel
(Cold, but I am here)
Baby, hold my hand

We are bound to walk this road forever
As tortured souls in dreams
But as the songbird sweetly whistles
It's never as bad as it seems

They've never walked through shadows
(They've never walked alone)
Barefoot in the road I stand
Colder than the shiniest nickel
(Cold, but I am here)
Baby, hold my hand


So, raise your lanterns high
To shine above the pines
Follow me through the wind in the trees
That bend as we cry


They've never walked through shadows
(They've never walked alone)
Barefoot in the road I stand
Colder than the shiniest nickel
(Cold, but I am here)
Baby, hold my hand

Colder than the shiniest nickel
(Cold, but I am here)
Baby, hold my hand

about

Nikki & the Phantom Callers Atlanta, Georgia

Nikki & the Phantom Callers’ debut LP, Everybody’s Going To Hell (But You and Me). The 11 track collection of boot-stomping alt-country & jangly indie-rock weaves a series of stories exploring a beautiful darkness in stark contrast to their predominantly sunny tonality; a Southern Gothic study of grief soundtracked by country-tinged ‘60s pop. ... more
