about
Written in 2019 with only a few minor tweaks since.
This is the imaginary story of isolated life in inland Buller, New Zealand.
Some of it is observational & some based on rumours I’ve heard.
Basically it’s a mountainous area of National Parks with the Alpine Fault running through up it.
It’s a sparsely populated area with some of my favourite scenery, that I drive through regularly.
One day I passed a sign in the middle of nowhere that said Deep Gully.
I sang it out loud exactly the way it is now. I pulled over & sang it into the iPad to come back to later.
It evolved once I made the Logic demo.
I than discovered how to change tempo in the session which thrilled me.

lyrics
Down in Deep Gully
In the district Erehwon
A horse has never been observed
In this no horse town
It’s a drive through, there is no view
It’s a blink & you’ll miss it, if you see it you’ll forget, let down.
Down in Deep Gully
Dreams are a menace to her health
She scolds the kids like her mother did
& hates that about herself
Emotion simmers over, loses self control
Never seen a beach, happy life out of reach
Never spent a night outside this shit hole
Oh down in Deep Gully
Down in Deep Gully
Alpine fault line, alpine strife
Wonders how life might have differed if she’d not become a young wife
He was the only boy when she grew out of toys
But he’s still behaving like a boy
Never thinking, always drinking
As he causes carnage, everything he touches he destroys
Down in Deep Gully
His favourite pastime
Stealing cars from the forest parks, taking more risk all the time
Crash the car, ignite the car, push it off the side of the road
Settle up & drink some more
What to hear the wreck explode
Oh down in Deep Gully
Gotta get out of Deep Gully etc
In the district Erehwon
A horse has never been observed
In this no horse town
It’s a drive through, there is no view
It’s a blink & you’ll miss it, if you see it you’ll forget, let down.
Down in Deep Gully
Dreams are a menace to her health
She scolds the kids like her mother did
& hates that about herself
Emotion simmers over, loses self control
Never seen a beach, happy life out of reach
Never spent a night outside this shit hole
Oh down in Deep Gully
Down in Deep Gully
Alpine fault line, alpine strife
Wonders how life might have differed if she’d not become a young wife
He was the only boy when she grew out of toys
But he’s still behaving like a boy
Never thinking, always drinking
As he causes carnage, everything he touches he destroys
Down in Deep Gully
His favourite pastime
Stealing cars from the forest parks, taking more risk all the time
Crash the car, ignite the car, push it off the side of the road
Settle up & drink some more
What to hear the wreck explode
Oh down in Deep Gully
Gotta get out of Deep Gully etc
