lyrics

When I was just a toothless boy
I felt no fear, I felt no joy
Just another holy son
Waiting on a ghost to come

You’re given names you can’t forget
You live with eyes you haven’t met
No colour turns the way you feel
When you’re always spinning on the wheel

When black eyed dog called out for me
I found him by the hanging tree
Carved into the holy pine
Was something that was always mine

So I’ll dig again and I’ll dig some more
‘Cause I know there’s a sacred chord
I heard it somewhere long before
I was ever here or born
So I gave them part of me
Before they took everything
Before they took everything
Before the hell

So I gave them part of everything

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.
