about

A broken-up song, a moving-on song, a meditation, a hum-along.

A mid-tempo, gentle baritone acoustic-guitar driven ballad reflecting on the death of a relationship and the present aftermath. Featuring rich 3-part harmonies (Elijah's voice is accompanied by those of the great J. Hoard and Clair Oaks -- the latter of whom is Elijah's mother). With a wordless vocal middle section, one can drop in and feel the depths of melancholy and resolve on this track from Elijah's latest album collection, entitled "Hey Day."

lyrics

I made stories with my baby
I told tell them stories no more

She still sparks the city
But her shine don't fall on me no more

I never wanted this to happen
Except for every God-damned day

She can light a room up
But those ain't the rooms that I play

She can light a room up
But those ain't the rooms that I play

I told her over and over
Many many ugly things

If love's the better angel
She's no longer waiting on my wings

If love's the better angel
She's no longer waiting on my wings
