lyrics

oh, the innocence of a child playing outside
so young, and have no idea what they're getting themselves in to.
I feel moved to yell out my window,
"Beware of pain cause it'll find you inevitably!"

I'm watching the underside of a lady bug on my window
maybe there's some luck in store for them
as they pretend to sail the atlantic ocean
with their rakes as oars and their leaves as the seas
they're never coming back!

sail on, sail on young souls.

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
