about

On "I'm Making a Deal (Muddy Water)" Hustle Souls singer and multi-instrumentalist, Billy Litz, sets aside his trumpet and B3 organ in favor of the Acoustic guitar to sing a song about regret and redemption that is just as infectious and groovy as it is emotionally potent. The lyrics are loosely inspired by the Kazuo Ishiguro book "Remains of the Day." Kathryn O'Shea adds a hauntingly beautiful vocal harmony to Litz's captivating and always unique vocal delivery and a beautiful slide resonator guitar roots the song in a sense of nostalgia for days gone by. The song was produced by gold and platinum mixer and producer Eric Sarafin and will be the first single on the bands first vinyl, distributed by Sugar Mountain Music.

lyrics

Well I’m making a deal with
The Angel of fate
And I’m throwing it all out
I’m giving it all away

You see
Falling in love is a waste of time
A bank account will keep you sane

I see it now
I got it wrong
But what Remains of the Day?

Oh Lord
This world has not been kind

Hard rain falling from the sky
Makes muddy water
Hard rain falling from the sky
Makes muddy water
Hard rain falling from the sky
Makes muddy water

Well I’m making a deal with
The Angel of fate
And I’m making peace with
Even my worst mistakes

I’m laying all my burdens down
It’s better than never, they say

Grab the bull by the horns
Or just get through the day

Oh Lord
This world has not been kind

Hard rain falling from the sky
Makes muddy water
Hard rain falling from the sky
It makes muddy water
Hard rain falling from the sky
Makes muddy water

Oh Lord
This world has not been kind

Oh Lord
This world has not been kind

Hard rain falling from the sky
It makes muddy water
Hard rain falling from the sky
It makes muddy water
Hard rain falling from the sky
It makes muddy water
Hard rain falling from the sky
It makes muddy water
