  • Record/Vinyl

    "Heckuva Day" sounds a heckuva lot better on vinyl... especially marbleized green vinyl.

    The 45 features "Heckuva Day" with "Get Yourself Together" on the flipside. Both tracks are from my current album, Sea of Clouds.

    With a retro design for the label, and a classic ol' white dustsleeve, you'll be able to fool your friends into believing that these songs were released in the same year as numbers like "A Little Bit of Soap" by the Jarmels and "Please Mr. Postman" by the Marvelettes. What's better than that.

lyrics

They’ll need a new word for this
Brilliant doesn’t start to explain how great thou art
And it won’t be long before they know

They’ll need a new word for this
A pen to push upon for every day you’re gone
And it won’t be long before they know

And the oceans bend
And the mountains roar
‘Cause there’s something there that was not before
And it need not get
Any further yet
Anymore

I keep your former room
The heirlooms that reside
I handle them with pride
But a paragraph is all they wrote

And I wasn’t there to see you off
But my brother cried like his father died
And it need not get
Any further yet
Anymore

They’ll need a new word for this
They seemed to miss this one
My heart has come undone
And there’s nothing here to bind it to

They’ll need a new word for this
‘Cause there’s something there that was not before
