Another Time & Place

from Gold Country / Country Gold by Secret Emchy Society

supported by
/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Another gem from the first lady of queer country. Pressed on ebony wax.

    "Gold Country ~ Country Gold from Secret Emchy Society is brilliant, delicate, and fucking hilarious. If you think Emchy is a country singer, she is. If you think she’s a poet, she is. The breadth and depth of her lyrics are astonishing. The album itself revolves around how people pull together and come apart, it’s about being human and the rollercoaster that involves. She evokes dramatic mood swings throughout the entire release, from lost love, to the pandemic, to fucking and drinking whiskey all on the same album.”
    - Patrick Haggerty, Lavender Country

    "With their gorgeous new album, "Gold Country ~ Country Gold", Secret Emchy Society finds honkytonk’s rollicking queer heart."
    - Karen Pittelman (Karen & the Sorrows)

lyrics

Another Time & Place
Words & music Cindy Emch 2020

Days in September, I wish you were here
With a case of sangria and those good bad ideas
Swimming out in the water, under mountain starlight
Songs, fire, and laughter goin’ all through the night

But we’re farther apart than we’re used to
Even when we’re face to face
Wish I could just
Touch your hand
But that’s another time and place
That’s another time and place

Driving through the fire, dreaming through the trees
White-knucklin’ through the mountains make it home before the freeze
The road sings a swan song, the guitar it screams
All those good people now are falling to their knees

But we’re farther apart than we’re used to
Even when we’re face to face
Wish I could just
Touch your hand
But that’s another time and place
That’s another time and place

My heart burns like a star for you
This time is carving a scar for two
and I
haven't hugged a friend in twelve months time



Small screens of living are all we got left
And I hold your sweet laughter right close to my chest
The phone rings no answer all through the night
It’s just me and the forest leaving all of this behind

But we’re farther apart than we’re used to
Even when we’re face to face
Wish I could just
Touch your hand
But that’s another time and place
That’s another time and place
