Lyrics:
Oh Lancaster County
All covered in green
Was I born into you?
Were you born into me?
On the Susquehanna River
Inside a valley of stone
My need to go away
My need to come back home
I’ve been all around the world
I’ve seen a lot of things
Tried to open up my mind
And fill the space with empathy
I go everywhere with you
I don’t need to be amused
I go everywhere with you
I’ve been all around the world
I’ve seen a lot of things
When we talk about forgiveness
Which way do I go?
I never meant to close my mind off
Make you pull water from a stone
Or watch me balance my commitments
And my desires to be free
You know I want that for you love
As much as you want it for me
I’ve been all around the world
I’ve seen a lot of things
When I look into your face
It’s like I haven’t seen a thing
I’ll do anything for you
I don’t mean to be confused
I’ll do anything for you
I’ve been all around the world
I’ve been all around the world

Here's Denison on this song: "The recording of "Lancaster County" started out as something of an afterthought. When we were making American Foursquare, we ended up finishing drum tracking ahead of schedule on the final day of recording. Since I still had another 4 hours of studio time, I called my friend Jessica Dobson (Deep Sea Diver) and asked if she wanted to come to the studio. Jessica is the best guitarist I know -- she can play anything really well -- and I thought it would be fun to experiment with a live recording of this song. I usually write and record in isolation, so the opportunity to play in a band setting is always exciting. I love feeling/hearing the songs become something new in other people's talents and headspace. This song unfolded exactly as it needed to: It's a folk inspired country rock anthem. It's the only song from the American Foursquare sessions that feels this way, and it's the only one that was recorded live. In the end, it didn't quite fit the overall vibe of American Foursquare, so I decided to release it as a stand-alone track. I wanted the art for the single to reflect Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs, a form of folk art that can be found painted on barns around my home town in Lancaster County."

That ending!! 🥰

[@mountainman81]

Riverbends was one of my favorite albums. Denison I LOVE all of your music! There's something powerful when you got a bunch of great musicians to create a sound behind you to support it. Looking forward to hearing this album brother. God Bless you.

Yesterday, I watched a series on Mystical Lancaster, PA (youtube) and studied the Triple Moon Goddess symbol and the Triskele symbol on the same page of a book on esoteric symbols. Today, I see your logo for this song, and I know I'm on the right path. Trust the timing of your life. Love your music. #Synchronicity

[@AsthmaticKitty]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing Watcher!

[@SensoriaMaRia]

Your comment has me sobbing! Not from the pain that is now constant. But, with JOY that another human being is awake and aware of direct signs. Of Synchronicity. Of those things reason alone cannot explain. I live in NorCal where I now meet the requirements to end my life via Euthanasia. I've spoken with God greatly on this topic. I've asked for 3 signs (what a NUMBER) that this is the door I now open. I've received 2 signs that were given with direct synchronicity. I await His timing for the 3rd. Can you please give me the name of the KZbin channel? Many thanks and live your LOVE, Maria

@@SensoriaMaRia 3 is my favorite number. My birthday is 3/3. Synchronistic experiences show us we are on the right path. No amount of money can buy them. The Mystic Lancaster series by Susquehanna Alchemy starts here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXKTpmSMaJZjgdk Michael Wann has a number of videos about his synchronistic experiences on that channel. I wish you well on your journey. Appreciate what you still have here before you go. If you are in pain, appreciate that you can still sense pain. Pain gives us great art and is that darkness that defines the light.
