Charles Van Kirk, Christopher Marion: Slingshot

Charles Van Kirk and Christopher Marion´s “Slingshot” is a haunting and atmospheric portrayal of a gritty landscape filled with coal mines, snakes in the grass, and Biblical references like John 3:16. The composition drives a relatable storytelling underscoring human struggles and fleeting encounters. In his own words: “This song is for some of the characters I met on the road, those who tried to convert me to religion at rest stops, those who offered me beers, told me about travels and asked for my phone number.”
