about

‘Big Red Blanket’ recalls the risk and folly of our youth, without being too obvious, and how the power of loving relationships can save us from any adversity. It’s a fitting conclusion to this record, which features similar themes on aging and life in general. Backed again by the solid rhythm section of Greg Schutte and Nick Salibury, the song’s rich textures from Tommy Barbarella’s Hammond Organ and Dan Schwartz’s guitar work, are truly a ‘Big Red Blanket.’

lyrics

Just a lighter and a cigarette
These are two things, I'd just soon forget,
Baby please don't remind me
of the days when I was reckless

The two of us…oooh what a pair
10,000 drinks and a broken down chair
Saved by our warm little bed
From the days when I was reckless

CHORUS
Let’s do what lovers do best
Put our sweet love to the test
Safe in our warm little bed
Under a big — big red blanket
Safe From the days when I was reckless

In a snowstorm one night, I was driving
with only one eye on the road
Baby please don't remind me
of the days when I was reckless

BRIDGE
Sometimes love ain’t quite – big enough
Only one ticket for the show
And the high road ain't no road worth traveling
And we really got nowhere to go
Got nowhere to go
CHORUS
