lyrics

40 Watt Light

My neighbors won’t talk they don’t even know me.
Everybody’s just trying to sleep and survive the morning.
They don’t stay up all night.
They don’t know the glare of your headlights.
My neighbors aren’t the type to tell stories.

If you see my 40 watt light, drive on by.
If you see my window is white, drive on by.
I’m tired and bone cold frozen; oh lord I feel so damn lonesome.
See my 40 watt light, drive on by.

I can’t make it to the bar this December.
Cause it costs too much and only brings up your memory.
And it’s not like a George Jones song.
bThere’s no melody for humming along.
Only makes the nights feel never-ending.

But I got a bed, room and radiator.
And the walls are thin but sometimes I put on a record.
And this light bulb shining, shining bare, shining like a fading star.
When I close my eyes swear I hear your car.

If you see my 40 watt light, drive on by.
If you see my window is white, drive on by.
I’m tired and bone cold frozen; oh lord I feel so damn lonesome.
See my 40 watt light, drive on by.

Love Amidst Collapse
by Aaron Semer

This is a powerful songwriter, a powerful presence. He's great live, and the CD catches a different kind of energy. The Foghorns

Winter Seeds
by Virgin of the Birds

Virgin of the Birds are an inspiration. This was the first LP they did, and a few Foghorns appear on the record. Highly highly highly recommend the vinyl. But this is fantastic in any format. The Foghorns

"Pomp and Circumstance" EP

Casey Ruff, a member of our choir, is himself a fantastic band leader. This is MR. Ruff's EP, and we sometimes do some of his tunes live. The Foghorns

These recordings feel knowingly classic but gently break through to make their own impression. Truly well crafted/produced songs with the right blend of skilled instrumentation and expressive lyricism. Mary of Rain and Tickets and Tapes are my favorites. a leaf
