lyrics
This sweat lodge mind
it's a trial and a purge
every minute is a lifetime
limping to the cadence of a dirge
They'll push you to the pavement
lean a foot into your throat
They've chosen your replacement
dressed him up in your clothes
I'm not going to push this away
I just want to feel bad
not going to divert my eyes the other way
from the red eddies that churn and bleed
Bandages and sutures
jimmy rigged with a shaky twitch
balancing on crutches
debating which phantom pain to keep
my periphary is anxious and angry
underneath it's hurried and hot
there's a whole lot of commotion in the wings
the safety's off, they're taking pot shots
I've been listening to this record for over 30 years (!) It still holds up as one of the best pure pop records that you've probably never heard. A gem, to be sure. Tom Jessen
I'm including this just because it was the first thing I ever heard Dan make and I think it's necessary to start here. Quirky, honest, sometimes goofy and funny, but always heartfelt. Tom Jessen
Johanna Samuels writes introspective and empathetic songs that explore authenticity with lovely, low-key pop melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable May 20, 2021
