From the album Hey Mathematician (2017)

Pittsburgh It Is

3 hours out of New York
Which way do they wanna go?
Straight on down through the mountains, in the snow
Well it seems the weather is saying no.
So which way do they wanna go?

And its pedal to the floor
Can we make it? You know I’m not sure,
And I’m not sure about you
Or the one that you’re sat next to.
So please let me sit next to the pretty girl,
She’s scared enough to be in this world.

And I never felt so cold or to feel my brain fizz
Well I know exactly just where I am but not what time it is.
And I never had no cutey to miss
Pittsburgh It is.

So we sit around like refugees on the floor
I cannot take this no more
Let’s get out and see this town
And the wind is blowing the snow down
We got stories and opinions to throw around.

And all I can feel is this cold, hard industrial frown
This is a ghost of a town
And there’s nobody around
So let’s find a bar, shut ourselves away
There ain’t no trains leaving Pittsburgh today

And I never felt so cold or to feel my brain fizz
Well I know exactly just where I am but not what time it is.
And I never had no cutey to miss
Pittsburgh It is

The process around this album emerged from a series of conversations with Luke over the last few years in Montreal around creative practice, including a snowy winter night organ move up a couple of flights of stairs in east Montreal. I had also shared some local community events with Luke, including a home concert where Luke did a beautiful hammered dulcimer set. I have been a fan of Luke’s evolving Holobody project for sometime now.

I documented a series of warm and textured acoustic guitar recordings that I wanted to share with another musician who could work them into a series of newly imagined works. I felt super lucky that Luke was into that, a true community arts collaboration. This album is the result, I am happy to share it.

"all beautiful places
are prone to natural disaster
but being swallowed
by the earth in Manilla
beats a slow death
In the midwest"
