This story is our take on the wonderful song of the Beatles “Rocky Raccoon”.
We wanted to capture the right atmosphere so we worked to get a dialogue going between the lead and back vocals.
Think of Dakota as Dot Legacy exploring its Western side with an old cowboy on stage telling the crowd a story and them responding in turn.
lyrics
I’m from that hill in Dakota He’s from that hill
She knows my face in the shower She knows his face
I’m from black hills in Dakota He’s from black hills
She knows my place on the sofa
The Rocky Raccoon
I’m from black hills in Dakota He’s from black hills
Lil, Magill, Nancy’s my proper LMND
The’black mountain hills of Dakota The’black mountain hills
She’s so seductive-in water
The Rocky Raccoon
The story goes on so gather The story goes
‘Round me to see who’s the victor Hope it’s Rocky
I’ve seen him rise from the corner Oh Rocky Boy
A bullet’s not enough for Rocky
Oh oh the Rocky Raccoon !
Oh Rocky Boy, Lil is screaming - Rocky Raccoon
I’m from black hills in Dakota
Oh Rocky Boy, Nancy’s killing - Rocky Raccoon
She knows my face in the shower
I’m from black hills in Dakota He’s from black hills
She knows my place in the shower She knows his place
Lil, Magill, Nancy and Danny LMND
Rocky’s revival’s coming to you
Oh oh the Rocky Raccoon !

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art?
But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
