"I scribbled these lyrics down on the first day of spring in 2023. My flatmate and I had been sick for a month, I was finally strong enough to pick up my guitar and play this little mantra of a riff. These lyrics take place in Nevada City, California, at the cemetery on the top of the hill, where my dearest friend and I would picnic and visit the grave of a long-gone infant. Once, under the moonlight, we brought my harp up there and I played for the dead. We’d read poetry to each other and to the residents, discuss our sadness and our gratitude, say hello to the man who was living in the 100-year old ponderosa above us that would eventually be chopped down by PG&E. This song is for the friend who brings poetry everywhere, to everyone. I have more than one version of baby blues, all of them are for her." - meka

meka is the musical guise of American multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Melissa Lingo whose transcendent musicality and utterly exquisite vocal transports listeners to the hazy sweet spot of 60’s-70’s folk.

Behind Appearance

Spending Time

TOMORROW

The war in Ukraine
The Earth is unleashed
Blood in the plains
Tomorrow will not come

Women in chains
Tears in chains
Children in pain
Tomorrow will not come

Boats drift
The sea that intoxicates
Boats capsize
Tomorrow will not come

People leaving
To other nations
Die in unison
Tomorrow will not come

But who can believe in a new future
And where do the songs and laughter go?
What chance do we have? Tomorrow

War at your door
The heat carries you away
The harvests are dead
Tomorrow will not come

Fear in the square
The cold that freezes you
The emotion that fades
Tomorrow will not come

But who can believe in a new future
And where do the songs and laughter go?
But what chance do we have?
Tomorrow

Another day
and I’ll be fine
I’ll be leaving this behind
I can only stop and talk
For a moment

Remember when
We moved in
And we’d say
hey over the fence
And we would
take the time
To talk about
The song birds

Mister Sampson over there
How’s your garden?
How’s your hands?
How’s Betty Anne?
Man, old man
It’s good to know you

We load the car 
In the garage
The room I used
To play guitar
Where we washed
Our dirty clothes
Was now as quiet
As a roach

We raise the door 
It slides along
The idle motor
Hums a song
As we reverse 
Into the world
It fades to nothing

Mister Sampson over there
How’s your garden?
How’s your hands?
How’s Betty Anne?
Man, old man
It’s good to know you

Mister Sampson you take care
As we drive by
But he’s not there
The road is old
the pavement’s cold
The panes are busted

Keep What You Steal

This song captures a moment in time and how that feels.

In The Moment

You said we would never break
That we'd outrun the storm
And it’s all for the sake 
Of the dream
Oh, the dreams we had, drunk on the air of our youth

We hit the city like the spark of a match 
A little too fast
Eager to crash
Anywhere
Now it’s just a game, and we close our eyes to the truth

Now I’m driving
And you’re a fading star
In my rearview
A flash of light
I thought I knew
 And the dream we served
Ate us alive
And I’m just another ghost in blue
On the 405

We used to talk about the world we’d shape
But now we’re slowly crushed by days
Of aching
Compromise
Oh, the dreams we had

And we burned bright
but not enough
For the ghosts of Hollywood
To care

So now I’m drifting
And the nights get cold
Up in the canyon
And we long ago let go
Of the stories we told
Coz we play the game

And I’m driving
And you’re a faded star
In my rearview
 A flash of light
I never knew 
And the dream we served
Ate us alive
And I’m just another ghost in blue
On the 405

And I’m driving
And you’re a faded star
In my rearview
 A flash of light
I wish I knew 
And the dream we served
Ate us alive
And I’m just another ghost in blue
On the 405

Ghost in Blue (on the 405)
