Dax Riggs When Bones Turn To Dust

[@chrisb.4228]

A friend and I went to this show, at some bar in New Orleans called D.B.A. It was his first solo acoustic show, and he played one set of covers and original stuff (he actually debuted the songs "In Death I'm Only Hiding", "No Rainbow", and "Evil Hides" this night). After closing the first set with "Barefoot in the Dark", he thanked everyone for coming and put his guitar away, and several people left, thinking that was it. He got back onstage about 20-30 minutes later and did another set, though it was much shorter, and I believe it was all Deadboy songs. Anyway, that second set is when he played this, so all those people that left missed out on seeing this live. Mike Sanchez was in attendance at this show, as well. 😎

Still so f’cking powerful after all these years. I remember getting this vhs tape in the mail. Dax’s first solo acoustic show. Jesus what a voice…. This song literally helped me kick heroin 14 years ago. This and goddamn the sun by Swans.

This song is a testament of a natural singing talent...this song is absolutely spiritual to me! This is beyond words ,the way his voice rolls like the most beautiful, yet tragic lullaby that is Dax Riggs!

[@herselfjeannemacmccarthy7991]

[@yayichangedmyhandle]

I so agree

[@colinerikstanhouse6385]

It's 2024, and Dax's voice STILL gives me chills ! Best way to describe his voice, is haunting. Once you hear it, it stays with you forever !

[@ducking_wow3964]

Still here and this song still slaps

[@ducking_wow3964]

Hey it’s me again. This song still b slapping me in the face and I still digging it.

[@aevolver]

"To forget your smile, to taste your tears." Some of these lyrics became "No One Will Be A Stranger" on his most recent release. Keep up.

[@yermongo]

Wish he'd put this on a CD.

[@braddfield]

Yall have no clue what this song that helped me thru. I appreciate the person who posted this.

[@ducking_wow3964]

[@Josh_Green44]

Thank you, Dax....

@ 2:27 partial lyrics to No One will Be a Stranger

[@rashellfenton8983]

This is amazing

[@alexferland101]

Lyrics: During the eclipse within your head, have you cried like the ghost brought to life I've been out cooling 'till midnight Sing it badly, badly, at the highway light During the eclipse within your head, have you cried like the beast taking flight And I will still call out your name when bones turn to dust And I will still call out your name when it all gets to be too much Dying is living without love I would sell your soul to walk alone if I could reach your heart I would

[@herselfjeannemacmccarthy7991]

Magical vocals!

[@cdubs4real]

[@brennaboo]

[@pan952]

This song is amazing!!!! :-)

[@Josh_Green44]

Incredible singing!

[@robberger1549]

During the eclipse within your head I heard you cry like a ghost brought to life eyes that are cooler than midnight singin burnin by the moon at the highway line during the eclipse within your head I heard you cry like the beast said goodbye and I will still call out your name when bones turn to dust i will still call out your name when it all got to be too much dying is living without love i would sell your soul one and all if i could to reach your heart i would

[@TWM1122]

You know, this song holds a dear place close to my heart, and I first heard it nearly 10 years ago when I ripped the audio along with some others to cd. A lot of it I could understand, and much of the rest I thought I could... but upon reading your post of lyrics I find I was a little off on some. Not NEARLY as off as a few who have posted "lyrics" to this song. Just wondering, did you get them from somewhere, or just hear them clear enough?

[@robertberger2358]

Just my interpretation of it. Dax is tough to make out a lot of times

[@robertberger2358]

I didn’t even finish: Spitting this sex like I was pissing in the wind of a thousand years. To forget your smile the taste of tears and I will still call out your name when bones turn to dust. I will still call out your name when it all got to be too much. Dying is living without love probably a bit off but pretty close overall

[@DR-xr8gv]

I always heard that as eyes that are cooler than midnight sing it burning bodies at the highway line

[@yayichangedmyhandle]

Yes found it 🎉🎉🎉

[@magneteye]

yep. and one of his major influences.

[@alexferland101]

Spitting this sex like I was pissing in the wind of a thousand years to forget your smile And taste the tears

[@SanctuaryOfDissent]

[@pirodirty]

[@mlmcmillan100]

@myredryde it's from the first deadboy & the elephantmen cd

[@SanctuaryOfDissent]

im freaking kinda, i didnt know he done this over again....

[@Lukeor]

is this an orginal?

[@NickEvansMusic]

Know what's true? That wasn't a cohesive sentence.

[@dianavandevalk3714]

How important, jeez. Artistic expressive freedom and such.

[@grewell912]

Is it just me or are all of his songs just about the same... and he's way to slow, at least Travis Meeks plays different songs for each song, jeeezz..

[@SN-cb9xj]

It's just you.

[@dianavandevalk3714]

That's a you problem man, not a rest of the world problem.

[@ducking_wow3964]

@@dianavandevalk3714 Oh, I am digging the deserved callout on a 14yr old comment. Guy/dude/brah/betch/or whatever either has broke ears or cognitive impairment…and little pricker has an attitude so imma say cognitively impaired. Dax has many flavors and I dig them all!!

[@shanesnock2000]

Dax is GOD
