Carrie Rodriguez is a classically trained violinist who studied at the Berklee School of Music and made a name for herself as an earthy, passionate songwriter in the musician-friendly Austin, Texas. “Infinite Night” is a track from her second album, She Ain’t Me and it’s a murky bit of countrified, roots-y soul music with Rodriguez shining succinctly as a vocalist.

Lyrics to Carrie Rodriguez’s song “Infinite Night”

Druglords, crooked cops and thieves,
preyin’ on the poor and on the weak,
boys with rifles in their hands,
far too young to understand,

When it’s more than you can bear
let the silence fill the air
get a glimpse of the holy light
Well the sun is just a star,
it reminds you of where we are,
a little part of the infinite night

Rich holding on to what they got
keep them far away
from those who have not
oceans rise and the fires rage on
too much loss and nothing won

When it’s more than you can bear
let the silence fill the air
get a glimpse of the holy light
Well the sun is just a star,
it reminds you of where we are,
a little part of the infinite night,
infinite night

[instrumental]

Oh looking down from up above
how we live and how we love
how many days are yet to come

When it’s more than you can bear
let the silence fill the air
get a glimpse of the holy light
Well the sun is just a star,
it reminds us of where we are,
a little part of the infinite night,
infinite night,
infinite night …
