February 02, 2017 Keep Your Head Up by Ben Howard February 02, 2017/ john besmer “I’m walkin’ back down this mountainWith the strength of a turnin’ tideOh the wind’s so soft on my skin,The sun so hard upon my side.Oh lookin’ out at this happiness,I searched for between the sheets.Oh feelin’ blind I realize,All I was searchin’ for was me.Ooh all I was searchin’ for was me.”
December 01, 2015 Old Pine by Ben Howard December 01, 2015/ john besmer “Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, I’ve come to know that memoriesWere the best things you ever hadThe summer shone beat down on bony backsSo far from home where the ocean stood Down dust and pine cone tracksWe slept like dogs down by the fire sideAwoke to the fog all around us The boom of summer time”
