    Lyrics:
    They say it’s so much better to have loved and lost than to have lived in a bubble Never knowing the cost of a broken heart like a loaded gun, it scares everyone.
    Everyone tells me the same thing every day: “You’re wasting your time, just Wasting away. There’s a hole in your heart. Just go fill it with love.”
    But what is love? What is love? What is love?
    What is this thing I’ve been told since thirteen years-old where you feel Understood, undeniably good? It’s a stain on your sneaker, a hole in your speaker, A feeling apart when you’ve emptied your heart.
    She’s at the upstairs windowpane as the young boy cries in the rain.
    She’ll never know the power she wields as the thunder falls on his ears.
    And he tells himself, “Never again.”
    All these engagements and lover’s spit as they grasp at a future and promise it will Be joyful and fruitful, “We’re better as two.”
    And I cried too, I cried too, I cried too, I cried.
    Hoping you’d hear me and see right through all the endless denial I gave to you. I Was childishly hoping you’d pull me through. I want it too, want it too, want it too.
    I want it to change me and lift me explain me and give me a moment of time less Alone in my mind. When I felt so strange you would hold me and say, “I’m stranger Than you can imagine. It’s true.
    And I’m yours and I’m yours and I’m here.
    And I swear there’s nothing to fear.”
    So the young woman lies on the bed while the young man hears lies in his head,
    And there’s no one there and nothing left to be said.
    All these engagements and lover’s spit
    All these engagements and lover’s spit
    All these engagements and lover’s spit
    They grasp for it. They beg for it. They smother it and cling to it.
    Love is kind. Love is fair. Love is real. Love is true.
    I was wrong. I held on.
    I waited for you
    To be whole.

    This should have been the first single. What a great song.

    i'm running out of superlatives to use with regard to just how I feel about Mikel and his fabulous band's music, but i'm going to try to extend my run in lauding their importance to me. In almost 50 years of listening to incredible music, I don't think iv'e ever heard a band with such a rich seam of consistently beautiful lyrics, harmonies and melodies. They are for me, the complete package and the world, and most definitely my own, is far the better for having them perform in it.

    This was my song of the summer of 2020. It just felt so real and genuine. I am glad they are getting so much attention now. I can't wait to buy the book next week and see them in 2021! I am met them way back in 2011 in Tulsa. I have been a fan ever since.

    I miss Ana, but quit focusing on her at concerts when she went from her natural brown hair to Blond. She was sort of “ the girl next door” with her natural brown. I guess the Blond didn’t make it with me.
