Once again… A brand new “Song Of the Week”!
Garden John
He wakes up to the sound of horns beepin’ – Instead of dreams it seems he’s got a big meeting – Go back to silent zoo – Sing – And they’re gone – ‘Cause it’s dawn – And he yawns – Puts his tie on – Today – He stumbles through the doors of tower’s gleamin’ – In his lapel – A flower – Does the redeeming – In his dreams the grass is green – Sing – Garden John – And they’re gone – ‘Cause he’s drawn – On and on – Won’t mow that lawn – No way – His yard is long and tall with bug’s a teamin’ – The flowers bloom and swoon to his heart beatin’ – A song or two wanders through – Sing – Garden John – On and on – He sings his song – Garden John – Lives upon – His dreams

this one is cinematic! i saw a whole cartoon in my head. your voice sounds awesome too. i asked eliot if he’d heard this song and he said, “yeah, i listened to it with daddy. i know garden john. i know the whole song.” HA!
Love the lyrics. Your song makes me feel the need to get back to nature. Life’s too short to spend it in the confines of office space!
Dig those piano samples, man.
Nice energy. Love it when you attack those high notes. I also like the unique stuttery beat. Is stuttery a word?
