    SOUNDTRACK: Blood Sings by Suzanne Vega

    July 29, 2022 / 1 Comment

    Black Veil: Blood Boss by Davidson King

    Blood Sings by Suzanne Vega, a song about meeting one’s father for the first time, for a book about a young man with a powerful voice who learned who his blood family was and their sacrifice.

    When blood sees blood
    Of its own
    It sings to see itself again
    It sings to hear the voice it’s known
    It sings to recognize the face

    When blood sees blood
    Of its own
    It sings to see itself again
    It sings to hear the voice it’s known
    It sings to recognize the face

    One body split and passed along the line
    From the shoulder to the hip
    I know these bones as being mine
    And the curving of the lip

    And my question to you is:
    How did this come to pass?
    How did this one life fall so far and fast?

    Some are lean and some with grace, and some without;
    All tell the story that repeats
    Of a child who had been left alone at birth
    Left to fend and taught to fight

    See his eyes and how they start with light
    Getting colder as the pictures go
    Did he carry his bad luck upon his back?
    That bad luck we’ve all come to know

    And my question to you is:
    How did this come to pass?
    How did this one life fall so far and fast?

    When blood sees blood
    Of its own
    It sings to see itself again

WE WERE INEVITABLE.

In the thin air of Ricochet Ridge, the truth isn’t just a revelation—it’s an epic meltdown thirteen years in the making.
