Kelly Hunt - "On the Bayou" (Official Video)

The official video for Kelly Hunt's “On the Bayou” off her forthcoming album 'Ozark Symphony', due Oct. 13, 2023 on Compass Records. Pre-order the album here: https://found.ee/onthebayou "I see this song as a kind of modern-day adaptation of the 'Evangeline' tale, a centerpiece of Louisiana folklore which I first encountered through Longfellow's poem by the same name. This particular song emerged just a couple weeks before heading down to make this record with producer Dirk Powell at his Cypress House studio in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. I felt compelled to revisit the 'Evangeline' poem and was struck anew by how deeply her story resonated with me and seemed to mirror my own. On a whim, we ended up cutting it for the record, and I went on to film this accompanying music video for it in the bayou-strewn countryside close to where the album was made. The chorus is an invocation of sorts: 'Evangeline, tell me what you know…' A plea for guidance across time and space from one lovelorn woman to another, and a summoning of the same lodestar that, as the story goes, led Evangeline to the live oak on the banks of Bayou Teche where her search was fulfilled."

You brought me here on a warm June night, And in the flicker of the stars and the fireflies, We spent hours I could never forget, So now instead of home, sleeping in my bed, I’m sitting in the grass in the morning dew, Wishing I was here with you On the bayou, oh, on the bayou.... Oh Evangeline, tell me what you know, I’m sitting underneath that old live oak, Wondering if the things they say are true… And if that star up in the sky Really is a kindly light, I pray that it will shine down on me too, And guide me on my way back to you. If I’d known then what I know now, I would have turned the car around, And told you all the thoughts that were in my head, Freed the ghosts of my old regrets. And maybe right now, I’d be by your side Instead of sitting here with my foolish pride On the bayou, oh, on the bayou… Oh Evangeline, tell me what you know, I’m sitting underneath that old live oak, Wondering if the things they say are true… And if that star up in the sky Really is a kindly light, I pray that it will shine down on me too, And guide me on my way back to you. Where the crickets and the owls and the bullfrogs sing, In the silhouette of the cypress trees, Not a worry in the world weighing on their minds, Just singing their songs, living their lives… And if life was so simple for people too, I wouldn’t be sitting here missing you On the bayou, on the bayou… Oh Evangeline, tell me what you know, I’m sitting underneath that old live oak, Wondering if the things they say are true… And if that star up in the sky Really is a kindly light, I pray that it will shine down on me too, And guide me on my way back to you.
