about

• MEGAPHONE HEART is a kind of love song about how I choose to live day by day, and a vehicle to explore feelings about losing five friends to cancer in the past year. I like the twisted, crunchy sounds of megaphones, trying to communicate and connect if only in a clumsy, loud, somewhat distorted fashion, right on the edge of feedback - the way the heart feels sometimes.

lyrics

MEGAPHONE HEART

can i write you a letter ?
blast it out from a meg-a-phone heart
all my thought are much clearer
when i let the words fall a part

i thought you were forever
like the lights on the prairie at night
just a light house of color
burning fast and always so bright

when you lift up your arms and let it go
does the soul fly or get caught in the under tow?
send a post card just
to let us know
you can hear us clear sometimes
when we call on the old megaphone

all the weight that you carry
just a measure of how fast we fall
al-ways fall ing and fly ing till we don't feel the weight at all
till we don't feel the weight at all

should you rage or go gentle
you just laugh when you take up the fight
in your bed by the win-dow
see the stars in the desert night

when you lift up your arms and let it go
throw my head back
just to watch you from below
do your wings hurt how is the landing gear
is that you on a megaphone
play it loud so that i can hear

when you lift up your arms and let it go
does the soul fly or get caught in the under tow?
send a post card just
to let us know
you can hear us clearly sometimes
when we call on the old megaphone
