“Dora Lee (Gravity)” is the latest single from Rosetta West, from their released EP “Gravity Sessions.” The EP finds the band in the renowned Gravity Studios in Chicago, blazing through some fan favorites, mostly live, in just two quick days. “Dora Lee” is a song about a man haunted by a fleeting, passionate visit by a seemingly supernatural female being. The video casts the narrator in the role of a hardened tank commander still haunted by this visit even in the midst of combat.
