    "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

Trucks that sear the highway night
Make a noise of pinkish white
My head sleeps in the window
The sound’s a cradle
A pattern, aching, but not quite

Who’s that riding in the back
Searching for the heart they lack
Driving, searching for a meaning
In search of feeling
Peterbilt accedes to Mack

Radio whirs and whines
Tells a story, just not mine
Station identification
An unknown language
Words as music
By design

This boy’s body is betrayed
Nothing ever stays the same
Bones with somewhere else to go
Someplace I may never know
Nothing in the end remains

Like a thought unmade to words
People fly away like birds
Chirping, singing in the trees
Saying fare thee well to me
Seconds slicing into thirds

In the left side of my head
I can hear the things you said
Questions nestled in the pillow
A bed of answers
Satan sleeping in the shed

Sweetly sleeping in the shed
Kittens dancing in his head
