In the watches of the night
I can't see where I am going
And I stumble into thoughts
And a dark polluted river runs through them
In the watches of the night
While everyone is sleeping
I stumble into griefs
In the grip of pain I lie awake and sing
Why do you hide in times of trouble?
Why do you stand so far away?
Why do you hide in times of trouble?
Why do you stand so far away?
Why do you hide your face?
Why do you hide your face from me?
I look for open doors
I search the heavens for the signs I know
There's an infinite expanse
But it's hidden by the haze of circumstance
There's a window in my mind
I keep thinking of the stories that I've heard
All their prisons all their dooms
All their resurrections and their empty tombs
Why do you hide..

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
