Universal 03:34
The time you’re left is doubtful Unknown and unfair Feels so unequal,  and no one cares. The case that’s been left open Unseen for all these years, The author still left hoping  For truth in dried up tears. But that’s universal. Sweeten the pot, give me some belief. Take your shot, right behind me knees -  (You said this was the first time, you answered other phone lines) It it’s hard to die, then it’s harder still to cry -  (How could this be the first time, you laid out on a train line) A steady eye guards an empty well inside. (How could this be the first time, someone read your call sign) But that’s universal. Nothing sacred, no great sins -  (You said this’d be the last time, you’d end up in a coal mine) Just imagine what you could have been - (You said this’d be the last time, dead out at the fireside) WIth a steady hand and eyes that do not flinch - (How could this be the next time, the first time was the last time) Breath to match your words with confidence. (Born under a bad sign, the Bad Moon Rise and the time we’re left -) And the time you’re left is doubtful Unknown and unfair Feels so unequal,  and no one cares. And I’ve sawn through all my bars, My eyes fixed on the stars. The moon in my living room Cuts like a deck of cards. But that’s universal.

Sunset 04:15
So much depends upon a heart Sometimes I need you as you slip away I need a romance fix, a feeling to replace. Even just one embrace would turn the lights back on. Most times you need me not to slip away Into neon nights where I find my place Amongst the cattle calls and the put-on drawls Splashed upon my face. So much depends up a heart Too much upends before it starts No sunset will mend a broken heart. Sometimes I see you in your sleeping mask You don’t call my name as I stumble past. Swallow a cough and make sure The lights stay off. Maybe your younger self would not be afraid Maybe my older self would be so ashamed, Drifting out instead of drifting into sleep. So much depends up a heart Too much upends before it starts No sunset will mend a broken heart. When a lone soul returns where it came from Send it away, put it at a run Fast past the homes of broken glass. No home can be carved out of the past.

about

Puckett Electric's first-ever single/b-side release; "Universal" backed with "Sunset" are two honest and direct statements on living in this complicated decade; with some of the most listenable (though always a touch experimental) musical arrangements in the solo musician's catalog. Catchy too, with arguably their most polished production to date.

about

Puckett Electric Kentucky

Self-described as "Psychedelic Americana", Puckett Electric's original rock songs find the complimentary between often opposing influences. The sound nods to the past but is not retrospective; experimental yet accessible. Based in Chicago and rooted in Kentucky, the songs embrace city fuzz with pastoral feedback.
DIY musician Scott Puckett writes, records, and performs all instruments and voices.
