Divine 03:51
I was singing through the night At the local bar on 3rd and 9th When you walked in through the door A sight to see, yeah that’s for sure And you were so divine You were so divine If you were only mine You were so divine I finished up went to the bar You were drinking whiskey neat, no straw I smiled at you and asked for your name You smiled back and asked the same What should I do? What should I do? We talked and laughed throughout the night Inching closer to each other as the lights went down Then a man walked in he took you by the hand You kissed him on the lips, and I said damn, damn, damn What can I do? What can I do? You were so divine You were so divine And you will never be mine Yeah you were so divine

Heartbeat 04:24
I’d been wondering why it’s been so long Am I too picky, too quick to find what’s wrong I guess it took some time to realize I’d just been waiting for you to arrive I never used to think of you like this Now I’m wondering what I might have missed If I’d seen sooner who you truly are Is it too late for me to let you know? That you make my heartbeat, heartbeat And it’s so deep, so deep in my chest you know this Heartbeat, heart’s beating for the first time in so long Tell me does your heartbeat, heartbeat When you see me, see me, just tell me does your Heartbeat, heart beat at all for me I’m sure in some sense that I always knew The truth to how I felt about you But I couldn’t bear to lose my best friend Even if it means you’ll never know How can I betray, the trust you’ve put in me That I’d always be there when you needed a friend But still I feel this way, with this longing in my chest And I can’t seem to make it go away Does your heartbeat, heartbeat… Tell me does your heartbeat, heartbeat When you see me, see me Does your heartbeat, heartbeat When you see me, see me, oh yeah I need to know, I need to know Does your heartbeat, heartbeat at all for me?

Oblivious 04:02
He sits on the couch, sipping his tea Ginseng from his parents, with honey and lemon As frost gently dusts the window panes The radiator purrs Wrapped up in blankets, though just one would do He laughs at a joke on a silver screen Cozy and comfy, safe and secure Oblivious he’s Trapped inside He’s trapped inside He’s trapped inside No locks and no bars, no cuffs and no guards to keep him A text from a friend, an invite for drinks “The girl you were asking about will be there” He thinks for a second then turns his phone off” Oblivious, oblivious he’s… And he’ll never know why he waits there alone, just waiting for someone to show him the way No locks and no bars, no cuffs and no guards no hope as his heart slowly fades

Wishes 03:44
She’s been working here for years, took the job to pay the rent Still calls herself an actress, she just hasn’t made it yet It’s a normal day at work, when suddenly she gets the call It’s the role she’s always wanted, but instead she stammers, stalls and says: “No, no, I’m not the one you’re looking for No, no, I don’t want this anymore No, no” she can’t believe her words as she Says goodbye, to the truth she lived to lie He’s been waiting patiently through the years to make his move She’s a special girl and he knows he’s got a lot to prove After yet another breakup, she finally turns to him And the guy who’d always been there pulls away from her saying He lived to lie… It’s a funny thing when dreams we’ve held for so long become real When the things that we’ve been chasing turn and hand us the wheel Is this really what you wanted? Is this really what you need? Or will you find when offered your deepest wishes you’ll say: “No, no, I’m not the one you’re looking for No, no, I don’t want this anymore No, no” yeah you may change your mind And say goodbye to the truth you lived to lie

Too Far Gone 04:46
A face so kind, you’d think he’s the quiet shy type Polite and smart, liked by his colleagues and friends But deep inside, a sick sad sore is festering And only time can tell, when it will start to show Ask me not for forgiveness You’ll reap what you’ve sown Ask me not for my kindness Your sickness is too far gone You may yet think that there’s some hope left for you But you were doomed from the start The angels will never hear your story now And the devil’s still living in your heart Ask me not for forgiveness You’re past redemption Ask me not for my kindness Your soul is just too far gone Yeah you’re too far gone to save The things you’ve done Will follow you to the grave

about

Hunt for Hunter Brooklyn, New York

Hunt for Hunter is a folk-rock duo, comprised of Michael Hunter on violin, guitar and vocals and Ian Hunt on cajon, guitar and vocals. A typical performance will find Hunter singing and playing violin while Hunt plays cajon with his feet and guitar simultaneously. It's an unusual setup, but one that allows for a full, organic sound that perfectly suits their blues/folk-oriented style. ... more
