Watch Spafford Dig Into 13-Minute ‘Soil’ In Omaha

Spafford shared pro-shot video of a 13-minute excursion on their original “Soil.” The performance closed out the quartet’s first set at The Waiting Room in Omaha, Nebraska on September 12.

Spaff opened their first frame with a pairing of originals “Broken Wing” and “Windmill.” The band then offered a cover of The Cure’s “Love Song” ahead of OG “Lovesick Melody,” which led into the “Soil” set closer.

Spafford debuted “Soil” on New Year’s Eve 2017 at Phoenix’s Crescent Ballroom in their home state of Arizona, as per Spaffnerds. The song has remained a steady staple for the quartet with Omaha’s performance marking the 86th play.

“Soil” kicks off with a jazzy flavor before taking a rocking turn with raucous drumming from Nick Tkachyk. While the lyrics are few, bassist Jordan Fairless makes the most out them with a powerful vocal performance. The jam begins with a vibey sequence which evolves into a funk fest laced with clavinet from newest member keyboardist Cory Schechtman. A final blast off from guitarist Brian Moss brings “Soil” from its peak back to the ground.
