Halloween (The Gaslight Anthem) | Elizabeth Carol K
A friend once joked in order to sing certain songs I might have to “man up” my vocals. Challenge accepted. Can’t you see my neck muscles strain? -
It’s happening. Soon I will be heading into the studio to begin the recording process. I can’t promise it will be what you expect but I can promise it will be honest. So cheers, here’s to embarking on new adventures - whether you begin them running full speed ahead, stumbling, or stutter stepping.
I hope you’ll join me on the journey, I’d love the company. -
If you watch ANY of the videos I post, it should be this one. Apologies for the fact that the second microphone is eating my face.

LYRICS HERE
This song stemmed from a time in my life of great discontentment. But in the midst of it, by the grace of God, I found myself surrounded by just the right people, at just the time time, doing just the right things. I looked back at the past of myself and others, looked at the present, and looked at our futures, and could be nothing but bone-shakingly grateful. It was the first song I wrote that was, in some ways, so painfully honest. -
I went to practice tonight. Empty stairwells are becoming a grand place. The acoustics are fantastic. I didn’t know what I felt like playing, just messed around a bit. A kind stranger came down a few extra flights to say “you sound great” before carrying on with his night. I pulled a few songs out of the dusty history binders. I ended on this song, quickly realizing it was exactly what I’d been aching to play all night.

National Anthem - The Gaslight Anthem
“So, take what you need now honey, and do what you like
don’t worry about me Mama, I’m alright.
And if there’s something you need, and if there’s something you find
whatever gets you through the night”
