Waning Heavy Drunk Feet Sun Lies

about

This ethereal background of guitars and owl sounds makes a great canvas for reader Hannah Mosqueda. She reads four of her poems back to back combining them into a theme of self-examination and acceptance.
Erick Hovey

lyrics

If your body should invite me in to stay
I would be a stranger anyway
Strange to all the things I have forgotten
My memories, like fruit, have all gone rotten
Remembered in a different way
The light has changed since I started this collage
With eyes like embers and hearts like cups
Lines so fine our hands were the same hands Cupping a heart
Building an empire of thought and sound and ambition
Spiders build a delicate home, in the corner where that canvass now lays
Dusty and behind a pair of shoes
Because starting from scratch is more appealing than revisiting what that picture revealed
I wander from lightbulb to flame with the same determination
A familiar and sweet destination
That no longer exist on this plane
I’m a stranger in a different moon’s wane
Heavy, everything you lost weighs more than you could have guessed in your chest
Heavy, Don’t drop your burden. They break into more cargo to carry
Heavy, Labor for your pains, just ignore the feelings, until they’re, buried
I dreamed about you last night
You put my drunk feet on your drunk feet, and together we danced
And though its not a thing you actually would do
I finally felt like I was home again, dancing and drinking with you
Alone in the dark the truth comes out
In a storyboard of whispers, secrets, and tears, down pour and drench
The lives that we mold ourselves into fall down around us, remaking themselves
With the rising of the sun

Erick Hovey and Friends Fort Dodge, Iowa

Erick Hovey's music is peppered with seasonings of blues, roots rock, jazz, funk, old power trio rock, reggae, and newer folk fusion styles. His lyrical content has not only good humored nods towards classic blues and rock clichés’, but spans the afterlife, and existentialism as well. Sometimes it’s spooky, sometimes it’s raw, spiritual, and sensual. Think Mark Knopfler, JJ Cale, and Peter Green. ... more
