about

These songs were written in the dark, uncertain moments. The recordings, like many others, were thrown down without aim in the studio in between projects, about eighteen months ago or so. They've asked to be shared, and Bandcamp makes that very easy.

Old Newhat is dedicated to my friend Joe Garner, who is a wonderful songwriter recording and performing as THE KERNAL.

Track Name: Old Newhat
I'm not a subject of your empire but it gets to me
Your clothes and entourage that tell me you got everything
Nothing's wrong with my food but I feel it wants to swallow me
Another song is playing and again the world is saying
That I'll never be much of anything

My heart is beating so much harder that I want it to
I need some oxygen if I am gonna speak to you
Nothing's wrong with my friends they are talking but they can't get through
Another song is playing and again the world is saying
That I'll never do much of anything

Brand new demo in my pocket
The old one might be better I don't know
I see they left you at your table
So I straighten up my sweater
But I won't go no

When I feel myself get jealous I just look around
Thank God for all the gals and fellas who don't let me down
Sing a song that I believe never worry if it's out of bounds
And then I get to feeling like there never was a ceiling
That could shackle down much of anything
Least of all me
Track Name: Hurts to Love (Live B-side)
It hurts to love it's part of fate
That lazy minds are taught to hate
Take a man and treat him wrong
He'll destroy you in flesh, in mind or in song

Be forewarned before you singe
All forlorn will be avenged

It hurts to love I should know
I've felt my tears turn into snow
Winter bride, it's no surprise
The whole world laughs when one man cries

Champaign sparks the towns on fire
A restless ghost is my desire

It hurts to love just ask the man
With the nails punched through his hands
I could laugh and be set free
If I could see what he can see
But all I see is your smile
And all I feel is a hole that shouldn't be there when you smile

Slow as ice the days they pump
Blood in me... I'm waking up
Track Name: My Best Friend (Live C-side)
I was walkin' in the rain
Goin' to my home again
It's nothing like the rain
Fallin' on you my best friend
You don't get to go home
It's a good day if you grin
With all the storms of shells and bombs
Fallin' on you my best friend
Always had fun with guns knives and metal
But that was when the flower pedals
Were bloomin' 'round our feet
No sand crystals or smoke and Mama's cookin' to eat
To stay away some drink Red Bull
But for you it's probably fear
'Cause the rain's not beautiful
Like it is here my best friend
In Jesus' name I live
And I want this war to end
So what can I give to help you?
My best friend
