lyrics

In nineteen eighty-three
That’s when it came to me

I dig like I’ve done before
I know these words, I’ve heard these chords
Like a ringing in my ear
We all know that we’ve been here

In nineteen eighty-three
That’s when it came to me

I won’t forget the light

Hanging on a dream
It’s where you won’t find me

I dig again like I’ve done before
I know these words, I’ve heard these chords
Like a quiet ringing in my ear
We all know that we’ve been here

Hanging from a tree

I won’t forget the light
No don’t forget

There’s a sacred chord
That I’ve heard before
And I can’t ignore again

Hanging on a dream
Hanging on a dream

about

Jason Kent Montreal, Québec

Swampy folk rock rooted deep in the caverns of song. Spending most of his 20's glued to a 4track machine, Kent amassed over 350 songs before he released his debut album in 2006. Morphed into Sunfields and back.
