While You Work (@whileyouwork)

Originally released on Bandcamp in 2021: https://adamhorowitz.bandcamp.com/album/behold-be-held

Songwriting became an unexpected anchor for me this past year: a practice for directing attention amidst turbulence, for returning to wonder and reverence amidst uncertainty, for stumbling toward mystery, even—or especially—when the path is hard to come by.

This album, my first, is an intimate sharing of some of the melodies and words that emerged from inner and outer landscapes during these strange, in-between times. My hope is that you’ll find at least one song in here that resonates with the wonderings and wanderings of your own heart. I invite you to take your time exploring them.

This is not a glossy production. Recorded without preciousness from home, it has a kind of pandemic sparseness to it: just my voice(s) and a baritone ukulele. I hope to one day collaborate with other musicians.

If you choose to download the digital album, half of the sale proceeds will be donated to grassroots Indigenous-led efforts where I live, via the Honor Native Land Tax; the other half will support the next musical project.

Thanks for listening! I hope you enjoy.

Puzzled

She ain't dead yet, but try tomorrow, I hear she tryin
If she die young, it's not her problem, I guess she dying
If you jump now, I won't forgive you, I'm not a liar
If you jump now, I won't forgive you, I won't deny it

I ain't dead yet, but check tomorrow, or check the next day
I'm building up the heart to go and jump and make my death day
I know I won't be happy at the bottom of the bottle
But it's better than the sorrow
I really wish for no tomorrow

When you climb up, just stop and think about the hole you'll leave in my heart
And all the love that you'll miss not being wrapped in my arms
Yeah you'll never really know just how you look in my eyes
Yeah you'll never really notice how I'd feel if you died

Notice how I'd feel if you died

She ain't dead yet, but try tomorrow, I hear she tryin
If she die young, it's not her problem, I guess she dying
If you jump now, I won't forgive you, I'm not a liar
If you jump now, I won't forgive you, I won't deny it

She ain't dead yet, but try tomorrow, I hear she tryin
If she die young, it's not her problem, I guess she dying
If you jump now, I won't forgive you, I'm not a liar
If you jump now, I won't forgive you, I won't deny it

I ain't dead yet, but check tomorrow, or check the next day
I'm building up the heart to go and jump and make my death day
I know I won't be happy at the bottom of the bottle
But it's better than the sorrow
I really wish for no tomorrow

A world with you gone would be so empty
I'd cry alone, picturing you with me
I couldn't say goodbye, so I said good riddance
Guess I'm nothing but a damn good cynic

She ain't dead yet, but try tomorrow, I hear she tryin
If she die young, it's not her problem, I guess she dying
If you jump now, I won't forgive you, I'm not a liar
If you jump now, I won't forgive you, I won't deny it

I ain't dead yet, but check tomorrow, or check the next day
I'm building up the heart to go and jump and make my death day
I know I won't be happy at the bottom of the bottle
But it's better than the sorrow
I really wish for no tomorrow
I really wish for no tomorrow
Wish for no tomorrow
Wish for no tomorrow
Wish for no tomorrow.
