Far From Any Road - True Detective theme cover video free download

My cover of the haunting theme from The HBO True Detective series.

Written by Brett & Rennie Sparks and originally performed by The Handsome Family.

I'm completely enveloped in this made-for-TV, eight hour movie. So much so that the theme was burned into my brain, so I felt the need to get my version out there.

This version expands on the acoustic genre of the original. I couldn't resist adding some space for a guitar solo.

Shout out to my friends from Reddit. DON'T READ THE SPOILERS!

I cranked this out in 3 hours as an experiment while test driving my new Screenflow update so please don't be too harsh!

I''ll spend some more time on it and try to add more imagery and stuff soon.

FAR FROM ANY ROAD

the Handsome Family

From the dusty mesa

her looming shadow grows

Hidden in the branches

of the poison creosote

She twines her spines up slowly

towards the boiling sun

And when I touched her skin,

my fingers ran with blood

In the hushing dusk,

under a swollen silver moon

I came walking with the wind

to watch the cactus bloom

A strange hunger haunted me

the looming shadows danced

I fell down to the thorny brush

and felt the trembling hands

When the last light warms the rocks

and the rattlesnakes unfold

Mountain cats will come

to drag away your bones

And rise with me forever

across the silent sand

And the stars will be your eyes

and the wind will be my hands
