We (The Plain Travelers) heard this band with the odd name of Ivan & Alyosha back in the mid-2010s at a club in Austin called The Parish.
I’m rediscovering them today, and this tune, “Running for Cover” has some heavy lyrics wherein I’m hearing about a garden, a fall, and taking the blame…
If I could be a wiser man
To rest my head and trust the plan
I’m fighting like a child to get my way
If I could see the garden place
Before the fall would things have changed?
I wasn’t there and neither were you
But I’ll take the blame as you should too, my friend
Now we’re running for cover
Running to hide
Yes, we’re running for cover
Yeah, we’re running afraid
As we war with one another
Oh, the mess that we’ve made
Enjoy!
Veni, Vidi, Scripsi
