there's cranes in the field
and it is happening
they finally found me
carrying water
sorrow can only get you so far
this is a message
for someone at the back of the bar
everything is slowly shattering
a rope is always
tied around my left foot
we're leveling down
what are you waiting for
a layer of sound
the ground outside your door
so take off your shoes
and feel the flattening
the earth rises up
this is our last night
literal saint
a little restraint
couldn't send me
come on and send me
a little refrain
a literal faint
couldn't tell me
tell me nothing
the strings will slack
and we don't even notice
we slowly draw in
there is nothing to be done
there's cranes in the field
and it is happening
they finally found us
walking with our daughters

little marmot
are you screaming?
is this your territory?
little marmot
are you strung out
on everybody?
we stressed you out
and made your tummy hurt
i'm sorry
for all of it
little mouse
in a teacup
is this your museum?
little mouse
are you sleeping?
did they finally shut up?
we stressed you out
major tummy hurt
i'm sorry
for all of it
we stressed you out
and made your tummy hurt
i'm sorry
for all of it

chonky was a chunky cat
i hate to be specific
chonky snuck outside the door
his tale is quite terrific
chonky soon fell in
with a middle-aged ex-mystic
some enchanted evening
while inhaling vaporifics
oh chonky went harpooning
nobody saw him but somebody knows
he decided to follow the end of his nose
the two feline admirers'
opinions were prolific
and steeped in stark conspiracy
so pseudoscientific
now chonky chomps cigars
with his fiancé magnific
while harpooning mahi-mahi
from a boat in South Pacific
little birds would help him find the words to say
and choose his little clothes
oh chonky went harpooning
nobody saw him but somebody knows
he decided to follow the end of his nose

wandering whales
cross foxes/ bad taxes/ crass faxes
there's a convoluted trail
of bad taxes

joshua wayne hensley recommends:
Immersive & expansive musics from my best friend/life partner. Emotional alchemy. Sound worlds that help make sense of this existence. Put on some headphones and dive in. <333
go to album
Coed Pageant's music aims straight for the heart. They don't miss. RIYL: harmonies, honesty, laughing while crying, crying while laughing, life. You know, that kinda stuff.

Side Man
by Michael Harold Doty
MHD has been quietly writing & recording melodic gems for as long as i have known him. This Side Man album was inspired by the beats from an old Wurlitzer drum machine and i love it so much.
