insects and rain clouds inhale and ex- now i can breathe i'm entering the stream here. float on our backs cool evening sky turning black for our sleep oh selfless light! there's no sense crying for the passing of days nothing you can cling to will stay but change let it go let it go fall away like falling of snow down straight down big fish and conch inhale ex- pell all the knives i'm entering the sea here water to tread cool morning sky turning red for our lives oh selfless night! [we] won't be crying for the passing of days nothing we can cling to will stay but change so let it go! let it go fall away like falling of snow down straight down please hold onto some grace for us grieve, grieve for the grass we crush down we walk carefully please hold onto some grace for us grieve, grieve for the grass we crush down we walk carefully

about

These songs were written in Lexington, Kentucky in Hedges' former apartment during the writing sessions for the full length album Curvature. These are perhaps his most intimate and revealing recordings to date. Recorded using primarily a built-in microphone on an old laptop, a childhood keyboard, and an acoustic guitar, all the attention is drawn to Hedges soulful voice and his surprising, intimate lyrics. In the spirit of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, this collection of songs works precisely because they are raw, off-the-cuff, and revealing. In contrast to the slick production of his solo record Curvature and his work with July For Kings, this is Hedges at his most fragile.
