Folk • Chapel Hill, NC

Artist Profile »

Larry Bach is a lyrics-driven folk/Americana artist, living and writing in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. His upcoming (October 2, 2020) release, Rounding the Bend, was recorded at The Rubber Room and will be part of the Robust Records catalog. Its songs explore the intersection of regret and redemption. He's written another album's worth of material during the 2020 COVID pandemic, and looks forward to playing it in public someday very soon (along with material from Rounding the Bend and his first two records, Kivvunim (2008) and Openings (2013) and his favorite cover tunes).

Lyrics

Gonna make myself a desert, still in the heat of the day. Quiet like death, but alive with each breath that I take. The night brings a wind that blows through me again, howling, whispering Your Name. Gonna make myself a desert. Gonna make myself a desert, waking to each drop of rain that descends from dark clouds into dust, washing the past away in creosote dreams and quick-moving streams flooding with power and pain. Gonna make myself a desert. Gonna make myself a desert: nothing borrowed, nothing owed Gonna make myself a desert: never lost, never home Gonna make myself a desert, a home for the rich and the poor with skylight for ceiling and prickly pear poking up from the floor, inviting the wise and the simple alike to walk through a wide-open door. Gonna make myself a desert.
