about

Written under the auspices of draconian lockdown orders here in the beautiful totally not trash-filled City of Angels, "The Thin Ice" (NOT the Pink Floyd song) is the result of a collaboration between Ben Foerg and Conor Spellane (Karma Vulture). Fueled by booze, drugs and months of not being allowed to play live shows, "The Thin Ice" is a folk-inspired psychedelic rock song that feels like taking a long walk through the desert at night... Because you're lost due to your head being full of psychedelics.

So come, all ye faithful! Experience this dazzling display of musicianship in which two LA hard rockers explore their softer side.

lyrics

if you really want, i can take you there
but you're gonna wish that you had stayed
the door is open, but if you walk through
you'd best be sure that all your ducks are in their place

for the faint of heart, i feel for you
must be hard to be that way
but you can't expect everyone else to
treat you like you're the thin ice and they're the skates

if you wanna pretend, it's fine
don't make me suffer through your mind
just cuz it matters to you
doesn't mean it's true

if the path you seek is one of innocence
don't come walkin' down my way
but if you wanna see life in its true sense
keep walkin' even if you don't know the way

if you wanna pretend it's fine
don't make me suffer through your mind
just cuz it matters to you
doesn't mean it's true
