lyrics

Sean’s Gone

He tells the same story tonight
He calls me Sean.
Says you were always looking for a fight
You were always like your mom.
And he says that old car wasn’t worth it
And just so you know
Better a dozen busted Buicks than a broken home.
And when I take his tray he stops
Looks down at my shoes and says
Sean’s gone.

Blue bottle flies, he says. I swear I hear blue bottle flies.
I can’t see them but I hear them
They’re louder when I close my eyes.
He says my wife and my child is dead.
I hear flies buzzing by my head.
I’m not the first old man to wet this bed.

And he says you know that you look me in the eyes.
You are the only one who looks me in the eyes.
You know when you look me in the eyes
I forget about the flies.
Kid you make it easier to die.

Sean’s gone.

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

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
