When String Bone wrote music and lyrics for the single "Waitin' for my dyin' day", the Ontarian artist got inspired by the Netflix series "Lucifer". Nevertheless, the plot of the narrative in the song can easily be read without connecting it to the series.
"Waitin' for my dyin' day" follows a protagonist who is yearning for mercy. This desire is so strong that they do not insist on the relief coming to them in life. Instead, death has a merciful value to the protagonist, too.
Between the howling chorus "I'm alive", Barry James Payne and George Leger III, create (Anti-) Folk and Americana as cold and dark as the inside of an open grave around midwinter. The gloomily harmonic soundscapes built by slowly stomping guitars and a melancholic harp is Folk as dark as it can be. Imagine Tom Waits and Nick Cave joining forces with Bohren & der Club of Gore, and jamming Americana together. No, this is not Folk Noir, this is either Dark Folk or Funeral Folk.
