Oh the dancer leaps in the snow
To songs that I’ll never know
As the music streams in the field
Used by someone to conceal
Buried feelings you can’t depict
What they are, I can’t predict
Aww the singer screams at the terce
With poetry structured in verse
When he sings it, he sings to you
Wond’ring if you’re listening to
His song he wrote just for you
Do you hear or merely eschew?
To his words written all in vain
I hope you never feel his pain!
Ah the friends converse in the crowd
As trumpets sound off aloud
And violins streak while you frown out a smile
And you listen to his words all for a while
Wondering why he wrote it quite that way
Was it something he never got to say?
Hmm the sirens sing in the sea
“Please, please come to me!”
As they sing their duet notes out of tune
The beats and pulses pound out certain doom
They foretell our twisted fate
Shackled up in chains by the gate

DVOJR is one of the grungiest folk artists out there. If you like my music, then you will like their tunes too. Give it a listen today if you dare. Hal Guitarist
With a subversive irreverence reminiscent of Tom Paxton and Phil Ochs, Travis Love Benson takes protest (anti) folk music on a new, personal journey into the 21st Century. They are an important voice. Hal Guitarist
Beautifully played and full of moving vocal performances, the Bay Area singer/songwriter's latest is a stellar work of art. Bandcamp Album of the Day Feb 3, 2023
