Last summer, the videographers from @iknowweshould were on hand for Rootsy Summer Fest '23 in Falkenberg, Sweden, shooting a series of Rootsy Summer Sessions featuring artists from both sides of the Atlantic. At golden hour one evening during the festival, as the waning sun gleamed over the North Sea and Skrea Strand, Colorado singer-songwriter @EmilyScottRobinson performed "Old Gods" with Nashville-based North Carolinian duo @VioletBell.
Robinson's open-tuned guitar is accompanied by Omar Ruiz-Lopez's resonant five-string fiddle, warm shimmering tones to match the gorgeous setting. On her 2022 EP, 'Built on Bones,' Robinson was also joined by Violet Bell – as well as @alisa_amador – on the studio version of the track. Here, the song shines in a stripped down setting, offered more as a folk song than the album's theatrical arrangement. Robinson and Lizzy Ross harmonize, singing, "Carry my prayers on the ocean / Carry my prayers on the sea /" as if offering their own little prayer to the waters of the North Sea.
