about

“Spiral of Smoke” is Alek Rein’s 2nd single off of the new album “Golden Montana” coming out April 19th via Lay Down Recordings. The song is a break from the usual rock and roll we’ve grown to love from him. Still very mystical and psychedelic, with tales of dragons, heroes and windmills, its chill and repetitive acoustic guitar draws us in exactly like a spiral.

lyrics

~ Lyrics ~

Drive me to the top of the hill
Where the windmill
Waits for a hero to slay his dragon ways

Turning sacred leaves into dust
He knows he must
Keep his head low at all times

A spiral of smoke rushes up to the ceiling
Such mighty scales on the fish that I’m reeling in
The air is still but the windmill keeps turning
Turning, turning ‘round and ‘round

A spiral of smoke rushes up to the ceiling
Such mighty scales on the fish that I’m reeling in
The air is still but the windmill keeps turning
Turning, turning ‘round and ‘round

Drive me to the top of the hill
Where the windmill
Waits for a hero to slay his dragon ways

Turning sacred leaves into dust
He knows he must
Keep his head low at all times

A spiral of smoke rushes up to the ceiling
Such mighty scales on the fish that I’m reeling in
The air is still but the windmill keeps turning
Turning, turning ‘round and ‘round
