lyrics

Hopin' ya heard this from where you're at today,
me 'n a lonely strung up six string playing,
all the things that I couldn't say
ashamed we became estranged

yeah I'm hoping things'll change
constellations rearrange
and every dog's got its day
but none of the black cats get to stay, sooner than later they're shooed away, bagged and drowned, float to bay, see ya later kitty cat, yeah

hoping the sound waves reverberate
to wherever it is you are today
missing the scrape of your mane
missing calling out your name

yeah I'm hoping things'll change
constellations rearrange
and every dog's got its day
but none of the black cats get to stay, sooner than later they're shooed away, bagged and drowned, float to bay, see ya later kitty cat, yeah.

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
