I See Hawks in LA
From ANDRAS JONES: MIKE TEMPO of The Bonedaddys joins us for our latest Pop Oracle session with I SEE HAWKS IN L.A. which gives me the opportunity to talk about the brief period when that band’s guitarist, Phil Gough, joined my own band, Mr. Jones & The Previous, for about a week. (Listen to the end for a bonus track from one of those gigs). Mike’s question for The Pop Oracle is on the topic of cultural appropriation and opens the door to a rich conversation about this divisive issue.
SINGING IN THE WIND
I visit graves when I go to the country
Churches haunted, desanctified
Mossy tombstones fallen over
Too worn to read or shed a tear for
Well worn hearts and angel wings
I love to hear the willow sing
Singing in the wind
Singing in the wind
Corncrakes flee the stinging rain
Over stones of priests and blackguards
Hungry Heathcliff, Catherine, and Edgar
Still walk the moors, unsatisfied
All that trouble
All the worry
The old cold turf cools the fury
Singing in the wind
Singing in the wind
In dreams I fly the hills of Down
Cold Drumballyroney
The whispers of the lonely
Ooh ooh ooh
All that trouble
All that worry
The old cold turf
Cools the fury
Singing in the wind
Singing in the wind
