infrared heaters

Liner Notes

This February was not what I had planned. I had wanted to collaborate with a number of people. This song is sorta that, in that I stole some words verbatim from some text messages with two of the hoped for collaborators and built a song--my only song this year--around it in the last 3 hours of February for me. Thanks guys.

A theme in this song and February has been healing bodies in friends, family and myself. Let's all get healthy in 2025!

(Check out Blindboy podcast and listen to him talk about the origin of the word February and why that extra r is in it.)

Lyrics

my infrared heaters click off on days like this resulting in an unfamiliar silence

I walk around on one or two crutches all day I bought from you when you were healthy but a little bit broke

my infrared heaters click off on days like this

Stan is back on outdoor afternoon patrol which will hopefully exhaust him

enough to let me sleep until at least first light crawling over the hill coming for my eyes I’ll be coming for you

Stan is back on outdoor afternoon patrol

shoulda thought twice fore I dropped that ice on my foot and now it’s swelling up bad but I left my ice axe in your shed and that ten foot pole is the only tool I had so I just went with it and now here I sit

injections should help but so far I’m too wired to sleep I’d prefer immediate [100%] recovery

but I try to be realistic if Ida known it woulda made me so sick probably woulda passed what you were offering me

injections should help but so far I’m too wired to sleep

it’s the middle of the winter and temper’ture is bitter that it has to hang above the red line

My FAWM February was so cold and it seeped into many of my songs. I'm glad for it mostly, but not sure if they'll be playable in July.

Winter is so dangerous for reasons that aren't immediately apparent. I feel like I've twisted both my ankles on the ice!
