Under Holy Water <br />by Mark Fielding Darden<br />Written 2008, Oxford NC<br /><br />Obviously written post-divorce and after I’d read the confessions she’d left behind by accident. Tough time for both of us. I was just beginning to understand what happened to our marriage, but it was too late by then to do anything about it. She was gone. <br /><br />At that time, Chris and Kristin were working through all kinds of new songs with me (and divorces of their own). Chris played bass, but I’m pretty sure I played everything else, including the piano and string parts. I actually surprised myself. <br /><br />Now, fourteen years later, I am putting a video to this song. Beth has moved back to Clayton, Kristin is with a long-term fiancé not far away, and Chris has disappeared somewhere in Raleigh. I’m living alone and I have a very painful back issue… and cancer. <br /><br />I’m hoping to get as many of these great, unpublished songs online as possible before the shit hits the fan. <br /><br />Mark Darden: guitars, song, vocal, video, percussion, piano, strings<br />Chris Kisgen: bass<br />Kristin Kanady: lovely harmonies as always<br />God: still in charge<br /><br />Recorded at Blue Creek Valley Farm Studio in Oxford NC in 2008<br />Copyright 1/28/2023<br />PAu 4-168-584<br />
