Beautifully crafted song chap, loving your Vox, so much feeling , depth and latent power . Very melancholic and endearing.

Lovely reminds to to Charlie McGettigan from Ireland.

It’s really good! Thanks for the follow btw!

I am down with any song about Phil. Great sound!

If You Want It (c'mon Inside)

The plight of the groundhog serves as a metaphor for one's fear of confrontation.

Lyrics:
I’m afraid of my own shadow
Run and hiding when I can
To my place of isolation
A place where I don’t need to take a stand

Down in my hole again 
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again

Avoiding confrontation
A skill I’ve turned into an art
I can feel when it comes my way
And it won’t be long before I soon depart

Back to my hole again 
Back to my hole again
Back to my hole again
Back to my hole again

Out here in the wilderness
Life can be a really cold hard slog
And rather jump into the fray
Sometimes I feel like an old groundhog
I feel like an old groundhog

Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again
Down in my hole again

Scott Krokoff

Groundhog

Black Lines

With a rich sound drawn primarily from his love of 60s and 70s music, New Yorker Scott Krokoff (pron: Crow-Cough) weaves elements of folk rock & country pop into confessional and compelling Americana.  He is an evocative and introspective songwriter, and a deft finger-picker in the vein of James Taylor and Paul Simon with “an edge of Replacements styled alt rock to his strum” (Hiplanta).  Scott has opened for Elle King and Grace Weber, toured from Vermont to Nashville, played live in Belgium for his biggest fan, and received radio airplay throughout the US, Canada and Europe.

Leading independent publisher, Music-news.com (which has retained the top "music news" Google search position for 16 years), calls Scott a "favourite" and his latest single, My Own Terms, "inspiring and powerful," noting that "[t]he second that kick drum comes in to start the song, you can't help but immediately want to hop in a convertible, put your arms out and ride off into the next chapter of your life."  Music-News.com was also a fan of Scott's last single in 2019, Groundhog, remarking that Scott's music "has a compelling way of instantly drawing the listener in."  Medium.com called Scott's first 2019 single, Cubicle, "a sublimely gorgeous song." 

Scott’s last record, 2015’s Realizations & Declarations, Vol. 2, also received rave reviews praising Scott’s “graceful tales of morality and perseverance” (The Vinyl District) and "music in the vein of 1960s and ’70s songsmiths, but also recalling hot up-and-comers like Father John Misty” (PopDose).
