about
Dragondeer brings a raucous alt-soul thunder to traipse through life’s trials and tribulations in “Patient Boy.” After returning home from a late night, vocalist/guitarist Eric Halborg laid down the skeleton of the tune strumming a traditional blues progression on an acoustic guitar and recording the impromptu lyrics on his phone. The full band gave it a funky twist and a little shake with collaborators Will Trask (High Hawks) on percussion and Casey Russell (Organ). The filled-out track has a Rolling Stones-esque sound polished by Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds) sailing the ship on production and mixing. Halborg’s lyrics speak to having patience amongst the rigamarole of fitting into societal standards of being told how to conduct your life and commanding to be free from the unsolicited commentary. “Patient Boy” will release in tandem with Roadhouse Brewery’s Mountain Jam Vol. 7, a Double Dry Hopped Hazy IPA brewed in collaboration with the band to celebrate the intersection of live music and craft beer in a carefree lifestyle that exemplifies the "Patient Boy's" call of living your life on your own terms.
lyrics
"How many roads I gotta go down?
How many times I gotta smack my head against the wall?
How hard I gotta fall?
How many rivers I gotta cross
How many dreams gotta drown?
Before I can really get on down?
How hard can we get on down?
How many lessons I gotta learn?
What do I gotta get my nose rubbed into
to be a little free of the man?
No no, I understand
Im a patient boy
How many checks I gotta cash?
How many times I gotta get on my knees
just to do as I please?
Give me a little do as I please
No no, I understand
Im a patient boy "
