In your lonely streets, in your empty highways
With your polyester shirt and your long tangled hair
I will be there in your haunted rooms
I will befriend you
When your hit record drops and you're suddenly a rockstar
Got your Bono sunglasses, pleather pants painted on
You can find me in the three-second silence between songs
My love rings on
Over the crowds and sounds of superficial lovers
With plastic Barbie doll hearts that don't know how to beat
In your halls of years, in your river of days
When you feel them slipping away
Remember me
When you wake up in the morning and you find you're 47
And you're living in the suburbs with your four-stall garage
Stuck in traffic in your hybrid car
I'm not as far as you think
Over the crowds and sounds of superficial lovers
With plastic Barbie doll hearts that don't know how to beat
In your halls of years, in your river of days
When you feel them slipping away
Remember me
In your garden of grief, on your hill of crosses
When you're staring into that gaping tomb
I will find you, look into my eyes
Let me remind you
Over the crowds and sounds...

Ari Hest's music is melodic and meaningful, and he is surely among the best recent songwriters of any genre. Twelve Mondays, a collection of remixed fan favorites, does much to demonstrate this. Jessamyn Rains
Inspired by life in lockdown, Fuzzy Jones's new astral folk EP is sobering but playful, girded with expansive production and ample wit. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 18, 2020
