Madison Cunningham
&
Eleni Mandell
From ANDRAS JONES: For this Pop Oracle session with ELENI MANDELL we are joined by a young songwriter with whom Eleni’s been working of late; MADISON CUNNINGHAM. Madison’s question, inspired by a Kahlil Gibran poem, approaches the emotions stirred up in the last reading from an intellectual point of view. If I may extend a metaphor from that session with Chuck E. Weiss, Madison added a salty bone to the synchronistic soup, and I just keep stirring the pot.
Salt Truck
Salt truck, salt truck
Clear my path
All my dreams have frozen fast
I want roads that I can drive on
I want a love I can rely on
Salt truck, salt truck
It’s a shame
Driving in the freezing rain
I want roads that I can drive on
I want a man I can rely on
Salt truck, salt truck
Salt truck, salt truck
After hours
Spinning in the snowflake showers
I want roads that I can drive on
I want a friend I can rely on
Salt truck, salt truck
Mean black ice
Swerving isn’t very nice
I want roads that I can drive on
I want a love I can rely on
Salt truck, salt truck
