about

In "Knock the Wind Right Out of Me," verse 3 really was verse 4.

This song was recorded on 9/10/2011 in a recording session at Paul Langford's studio in Chicago (paullangfordmusic.com) during a session originally intended to be a demo of five or songs. We were productive enough to go ahead and record a full album of songs.

lyrics

Is this redemption just a candy for my mind
thought you were burned from there long, long, ago
are you still beautiful or is this misrecall.

Never is the only way you ever leave
if breath were mine it leaves in disrespair
do you still laugh

Knock the wind right out of me
Somehow thought enters the mind
The concrete presses down (toward) the line
Mistaken jade to breathe
Head down, crawl through meant to be
Sew me back and set me walking

on my face, and love that will not loosen
chains me here, higher than I fly
only in a mad man’s mind does 4 proceed 3

Knock the wind right out of me
Somehow thought enters the mind
The concrete presses down (toward) the line
Mistaken jade to breathe
Head down, crawl through meant to be
Sew me back and set me walking

Is this coincidence divine
threw away your photograph some time ago
and at 24 degrees, breath falls
