about

This version of "Amends" was self-recorded on an ancient laptop in my basement in Doylestown, PA in 2008.

lyrics

I left New York City on a cold December day
holed up way back somewhere in the woods
I was looking for a savior to do this boy a favor
and I tried everyone and thing I could

But I learned early on that it doesn’t take too long
to meet up with your demons face to face
And you can try to run anywhere under the sun
But they’ll meet you there in every hiding place
I gotta find my grace

All the wise ones told me that life is always lonely
and you gotta love yourself before the rest
And it’s been a long time coming
for this sorry singer’s strumming
to finally figure out it’s for the best

'Cause I learned way too late
just what I had at stake
And what I lost and never can regain
'Cause love’s most disenchanted
when you’re taking it for granted
and a scar like that don’t ever fade away
Need a new way to pray

If you see my old baby, won’t you tell her I said hi
and I regret our hapless circumstance
And tell her I am sorry for I could not make it right
even with a seventh second chance

And if you see her kiss her
and tell her how much I miss her
and I can’t wait to see her face again
But right now I need the comfort
of the great wide open road
until this awful nightmare finally ends
I gotta make amends

The Feverfew Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Feverfew has a sound born in the South and dragged up through the East, landed somewhere between a Brooklyn rooftop and the sea. With unassuming posture, Andrew Bethany Spiers makes an impact. Spiers' lyrics are formidably poetic and steep him as a promising talent in a tradition of literary musicians that includes Patti Smith, David Berman, Thurston Moore and David Byrne, to name a few. ... more
