about

Thursday, 4:57 AM.

lyrics

she comes home before sun up
Monday through Thursday morning
and though she misses the first shift,
the differential helps provide for her kids.

texting her boyfriend in the morning
"let's quit our jobs and just live on the streets..."
and while I know we can't do that,
goddamn it feels good to dream.

cause I just need one good night's sleep
but my kids have got to eat.

"you bring your guitar, I'll bring my camera
and we'll become super stars"

I just need one good night's sleep
but my kids have got to eat
oh, I just need one good night's sleep
but my kids have got to eat.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."

-Nick Tate, WXPN
