Hollow - Jon Bryant

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: https://ditto.fm/only-human-the-satellite-station

‘Only Human’ is about how hard it can feel sometimes just being human… whether things are good or bad. Sometimes we need a reminder that everything we do isn't perfect and we make mistakes, and to give ourselves freedom to do that and know everything is going to be okay.

The Satellite Station - Only Human

Olivia Wendel originally wrote “Portland” in 2018, pre-pandemic while riding the 1 train home from her restaurant job. During the shift, a customer asked her if she’d ever been to Portland Oregon, somewhere they thought she would really enjoy. This song was her response to that conversation and the feeling of wanderlust she felt while watching the sun go down over the Hudson River as the 1 approached 125th street. Now in 2021, as New York City begins to emerge out of quarantine, the song resonates completely differently for Olivia. It’s a song that finds beauty in the places we call home, while longing for the possibility of traveling and getting lost in a new places. Recorded last summer almost entirely remotely, producer Jeff Peters and Olivia worked to achieve a production that is buoyant and hopeful, while allowing the melody line to wander around and explore.

New Indie Folk Update - May 14, 2021

words and music K. Gennery
Image of my 20 track recorder. This song has 32 tracks on it. 
More bouncing than Jane Russell on a trampoline......



Same shit different day time to hit the road,
head over to pastures new, on the way I'm gonna dump this heavy load.
Cause the grass is always greener, so they say,
Pack my bags a few goodbyes and I'm on my way.

Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
cause you have your share and I've got mine.
Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
cause you have your share and I've got mine.

I'm a man of the world.

Faint heart never won fair maiden and thats my stance,
Nothing here but disapointments, gonna go and take another chance.
I dream, I scream, can't breathe, got to get away,
You've done all your contemplating, so what do you say?

Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
cause you have your share and I've got mine.
Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
(This lifes for living, doesn't stop it giving me the bird)
cause you have your share and I've got mine.
I'm a man of the world.

lets go

Wild

Wish upon
A shining star
 Find what burns
In your heart

 Drink from the fountain
It’s water from the mountain 
Let it wash over you
If it feels alright to 

And if you are 
Unsure of 
The way things go 
Don’t give up 
Don’t lose hope 

 Drink from the fountain
It’s water from the mountain 
Let it wash over you
If it feels alright to
 
Put your hands 
By the fire 
We’re a long way from home 
Try to stay warm 
Rest your eyes
 If you’re tired
I’ll hold you in my arms
Keep you safe from the storm

From the storm
From the storm

Water from the Mountain

📝 Lyrics:

Take me where the flowers grow,
Where we can grow old.
Take me somewhere we won’t know,
What the future holds,
And we’ll call it home.

I’ll hold pictures as you put fixtures in place.
And we’ll hang them on our wall.
I’ll sing some songs and maybe you’ll sing along
And we’ll feel like we belong

And we’ll call it home
And we’ll call it home

Take me, where your heart is,
Where your love is,
And I’ll call it home
Take me,
Where you are weakest,
Where you’ll need me,
And I’ll call it home.

In the morning I’ll press the snooze a while
and you will turn over and smile and wait,
For my kiss upon your cheek
I’ll put the kettle on and you’ll turn the heating on and we’ll fall back to sleep.

Something in your eyes, it tells me that this is all I need
and there’s no where else to be
Suddenly your hands are holding me closer than before, we’re heading to the door.

And we’ll call it home,
And we’ll call it home,
And we'll call it home.

📝 Lyrics:

Wild dreams
Keep haunting me
Visions of a life

I live on a screen
And I’ll die there it seems
Lover will you love me when I’m not alive 

Send me
Back to where I started out
I was alive 
In Wild Dreams

I paint by day
And I long by night
Pages torn and thrown to the floor

I read all the time
But they don’t hit like before 
Lover don’t set me alight while I’m not ashore

Send me
Back to where I started out
I was alive 
In Wild Dreams

"To us, this song is a reminder that we all need a time and place to slow down. Whether it’s going for a daily walk, paddling downstream or enjoying a campfire in good company, it’s so important to let life flow a little bit slower and cherish the memories that come from that."

📝 Lyrics:

Straight lines, Empty spaces
Untied, Out of patience
All because of me

Sore eyes, Hiding places
Still nights, Endless waiting
In and out of sleep
Will it always be…

A mystery
Will there always be a missing part of me?
Thinking back on all the things I couldn’t see
In front of me
A mystery

Almost, Set in motion
Untold, Never spoken
All because of me
Will it always be

A mystery
Will there always be a missing part of me?
Thinking back on all the things I couldn’t see
In front of me
A mystery

A mystery
(bgv - mystery)
Will it always be
Be a mystery 

A mystery
Will there always be a missing part of me?
Thinking back on all the things I couldn’t see
In front of me
A mystery
