About: If I were to identify this band of cowboys, they would have the threateningly of Lee Hazlewood on the bag of Cowboy In Sweden but in the distance is piled a black cloud, therefore it is without k-way that we pass through the storm . Is of Warren Thomas (growlers blocking his way, Grand Elegance), this first album of the Abigails is the perfect of the finger oscillation of our cow boy on the trigger of his Colt 357.
Description: By Joey Genovese
In sunny southern California it’s always warm out, you’re near the ocean, and the weed is supreme. These things make the area a great place to shack up for a while and give life the middle finger. Unfortunately, they also have a way of making all the music from this great place sound similar. While many local acts take a bong rip and look to the beach for inspiration, Warren Thomas and company of the Abigails opt for a handle of the stiff shit and a trip down the lonesome backroads you don’t wanna get a flat on. Songs of Love and Despair is their latest offering, and it’s one of those “transporter” albums. The combination of Thomas’ deep, haunting croon and those twaaangin’ ass guitars “transport” you on a journey deep into the woods onto some wooden porch, with the bug zapper crackin’ into the wee hours of the night. Somewhere very far from here. And it feels great to leave
Biography: The Abigails “Songs of Love & Despair” truly lives up to its name, it is an LP full of songs about love and despair. Not only do these topics become obvious in a lyrical sense, but I’d be lying if I said Warren Thomas’s voice doesn’t rip apart these ideas in complete lovely desperation. Southern winds drift through open windows becoming all you feel, dark atmospheres absorbing comfort for a short moment then shocking you with its abrupt release of things you’ve felt for as long as you can possible remember. Nostalgic late night walks, letting the one you love sleep all night in your head. Stories. getaways. Escaping into air so thick you can barely breath while letting previous things, people, memories, and plans leave along with you without looking back. The Abigails “Songs of Love &Despair” is a look at the past, reminding you of things you once loved, feared, and hoped for. Check it out on bandcamp and be sure to head down to THE SATELLITE in LA on May 5th for their Burger Records/Mono Records LP release show with Night Beats and Cosmonauts!
Sincerely,

Story Of Pain
The Abigails Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will I get it, thats' to see
Still I wander everytime to hide my shame
Like a light's burn out or a drunk in a drought
Life's blood under a swamp song,
Take me away
So the story goes
Seems our story's stopped
Our blue skies turned grey
Well that's the story's pain
The black heart's blade
The chandelier had dropped
And I'm falling down again
Take a shot in the dark
Try to mend my broken heart
They say misery loves company
But no not round here
So to lord that I pray
To the lord, I'm afraid
On a full moon, I'm a lost cause
Take me away
So the story goes,
So the story says
Seems our story's stopped
Our blue skies turned grey
That's the story pain
The black heart's blade
The chandelier had dropped
And I'm falling down again
The Abigail's "Story of Pain" depicts a protagonist who is struggling to cope with guilt, shame, and the pain of heartbreak, reflected in poetic language and haunting melodies. The lyrics of the song imply the feeling of being lost, alone, and hopeless. The song begins with the lines "If there's a will, there's a way, will I get it, that's to see. Still I wander everytime to hide my shame." Here, the singer acknowledges that there is a possibility for things to change, but their path is unclear, and they are still wandering around alone, trying to come to terms with their situation. They talk about feeling empty and lost, like "a light's burn out or a drunk in a drought."
As the song progresses, the singer continues to express distress and confusion, showing their hopelessness and sense of being unable to control their fate. They take solace in prayer but also express a certain sense of apprehension towards it, stating "to the lord, I'm afraid." The chorus of the song repeats "So the story goes, so the story says, seems our story's stopped, our blue skies turned grey, that's the story pain, the black heart's blade, the chandelier had dropped, and I'm falling down again." Here, the singer expresses their despair, acknowledging that their story is not going in the direction they wished, and they are left to suffer in the aftermath of a painful outcome that they cannot reverse.
Overall, "Story of Pain" can be interpreted as an emotional journey of an individual struggling to come to terms with their grief and pain through the journey of remorse, guilt, and sorrow. Its haunting melody, poetic lyrics, and reflective meaning can resonate with anyone experiencing heartbreak, despair, hopelessness or any other deep emotional pain.
Line by Line Meaning
If there's a will, there's a way
As long as there is a desire to achieve something, one can always find a path to get there
Will I get it, that's to see
Whether or not I will succeed is unknown and only time will tell
Still I wander everytime to hide my shame
I continue to search for an escape from feeling guilty or embarrassed
Like a light's burn out or a drunk in a drought
I feel depleted and lost, just like a light that has burned out or a drunk person searching for water in a dry place
Life's blood under a swamp song,
My vitality is like the blood that flows beneath a murky and unpleasant place
Take me away
Remove me from this current state of mind and existence
So the story goes
This is how the tale unfolds
So the story says
This is what people claim happened
Seems our story's stopped
It appears that the narrative has come to a standstill
Our blue skies turned grey
Our once bright and positive outlook has now become bleak and depressing
Well that's the story's pain
This is the source of the tale's torment
The black heart's blade
The cruelty and malice that is at the core of this story
The chandelier had dropped
A major event has occurred that has brought everything crashing down
And I'm falling down again
I am experiencing a sense of failure and despair once more
Take a shot in the dark
Make an attempt at something uncertain
Try to mend my broken heart
Attempt to repair emotional damage that has been done
They say misery loves company
People often share their negative experiences and feelings with others
But no not round here
However, in this case, that is not the norm
So to lord that I pray
Asking for guidance, I turn to a higher power
To the lord, I'm afraid
Despite my faith, I still feel frightened and unsure
On a full moon, I'm a lost cause
In certain situations, I feel completely hopeless and without direction
Take me away
Remove me from this current state of mind and existence
So the story goes
This is how the tale unfolds
So the story says
This is what people claim happened
Seems our story's stopped
It appears that the narrative has come to a standstill
Our blue skies turned grey
Our once bright and positive outlook has now become bleak and depressing
That's the story pain
This is the source of the tale's torment
The black heart's blade
The cruelty and malice that is at the core of this story
The chandelier had dropped
A major event has occurred that has brought everything crashing down
And I'm falling down again
I am experiencing a sense of failure and despair once more

I am amazed. How did Abigail marry someone like Nabal? She is very thoughtful, she actually proposed to David without proposing😅😅. 1 Sam 25:31 "...But when the Lord has dealt well with my Lord, remember your maidservant." 😇🤭
