DOWNLOAD THE BREATH AND THE BELL

cover by the silent giants.

here is a mess of a video blog:

here are the lyrics:

i can hear you straight through the wall,
the breath and the bell.
your sigh shook my fragile frame like a sub bass boom.
even now I store what comes through deep in my shoulderblades.

You are hilarious. Have you ever considered doing stand up? By stand up, I mean stand up comedy. I'm not sure if that was clear or not. I'm over thunking this.

Ha ha, I think you are mistaking inability to speak for comedic talent! But I will consider it :-)

I know what you mean with the patchy beard!! It sucks! I can't grow hair on the upper-lip/tuft region. I will never experience what it is like to have a magnificent beard....

You just need to grow what beard you can, shave it off but KEEP THE HAIR, then regrow the beard, then use the hair from the first time to fill in the patches. No one will be the wiser! (...but you will know, in your shame)

YES. Jonathan, you are the master of replenishing hope when all is lost. Oh and your works in Absofacto are the thing getting me through nursing school. Thanks much for the music amigo! You have no idea how much it helps.

Nate, if my songs have helped get you through nursing school so far, you will REALLY like the next song I'm putting out, entitled, "All the Answers to All the Nursing School Tests (Earbud Mix)."

You sir, are way too clever for your own good. That was like, what, two clever responses within the same month? I think you're the only member of a music group that actually responds back to their fans. I salute you sir!
