about

This song was written while I was driving under a bridge over the Red River. I noticed a bunch of new red flags and a red sweater tied along the top of the bridge. It took my a second to realize that each flag was a symbol for a missing Indigenous Women. The flags were put up there by their friends and family to create awareness and bring a little more closure to their pain. I immediately had to pull over and write the words that started flooding my head.

lyrics

Fishing on the river
There's something in the water here now
I caught her by the sweater
Pulled up from the river bed yeah

I think you need some shelter
I think you need some food and rest yeah
I think you need some water
So I tossed her back into the Red yeah

Carry on, Carrion
Carry on, Carrion
Carry on, Carrion
Carry on, Carrion

Later on the drive home
There's something hanging from the bridge yeah
I think it was her sweater
Red shining mirror of the Red yeah

I think you need some shelter
I think you need some food and rest now
I think you need some water
So I tossed her back into the Red yeah

Carry on, Carrion
Carry on, Carrion
Carry on, Carrion
Carry on, Carrion
Carry on, Carrion
Carry on, Carrion
