Have you seen my dog?
Have you seen my dog?
I called his name
Maybe he ran away
we talked today
And you didn't say a thing
There goes a night
and another day
We walk to mass
sit under the cross
You talk so low
You let me know he's gone
My tears they come
And they don't take it away
So confused
For loving my dog
Oh my god
Hanging on the cross
He was staring down
At your hands so full of shit
10 years old
No hand to hold
The years have passed
But I've never lost my love

about
On VISITOR
from Chris Crofton
Do you ever think about "the sacred and profane?" I do. Especially these days, I’m interested in the sacred. And I’m not talking about religion. Nothing against religion, but I’m interested in the secular sacred - kindness, flowers, coffee, music, waterfalls, being of service - that sort of thing. If you get enough kindness and coffee in one place - for me, that’s church. Annie Williams takes you to that kind of church. These songs of hers are sacred spaces. Little universes, where, through the honesty of Annie’s voice, small subjects become large. In Annie’s world, a lost dog (“Midnight”), the movie “Thelma and Louise” (“Thelma”), a highway (“Hwy 287”) and love (“Oh My Love”) are all equally-worthy inspirations.
Annie is based in Nashville, TN. You wanna know how she got here? She was playing her guitar at a party at University of Wyoming, and a touring gospel hip-hop group saw her. They invited her to come to Nashville, and be on their label. The deal fell through, but Annie stayed in Tennessee.
When you listen to this record, you might say to yourself, “Gospel hip-hop group? I don’t get it.” But I get it. At that party in Wyoming, sacred recognized sacred.
In the midst of the 24-hour news cycle, it’s easy to lose track of what’s important. Annie’s songs gently, effortlessly - and joyfully - remind us to refocus.
