2020 has been a Hurricane of a year. We produced this song last spring and then I pretty much left The Dan Kaufman Band on a back burner. The space for the project was not there and did not feel right to me. But I never can stay away from music for long and new stuff is on the way.
I feel like the Hurricane Song really reflected my life this year. Being thrown into tumult and trying to remember what is truly important: love and life.
A hurricane will land and blow you far away
And then you’ll long for that record you wanted to play
It’s the one that’s got your brand new favorite song
The one you were going to teach all your friends to sing along
That one about love
That one about love, love, love, love, Life
Well you take that sand and you fill it up in the jar
Until there’s no room left for what you really are
You turn around and see that what you lack
Is the old guitar in the brand new back pack
Let’s talk about love
Let’s talk about love, love, love, love, Life
Don’t bother walking with a pebble up in your shoe
But who am I to tell you what you ought to do?
You’ll find the path but first you’ll you’ll find the way
and then you’ll drop the needle on the record you wanted to play
That one about love
That one about love, love, love, love, Life
