lyrics

Before telling dragons where to lay
Point out all the ruins where the chicks can play
Common sense pray pay my way

Wrong in song-ing well there’s no such way
Ring the wronging in the silent day
Common sense may pave my way
In brambles sometimes

But the birds do give glittery warbles
And I’m pickin’ up every marble
I’m flicking tear-drops back into the bay

Before I tell myself that I have nothing to say
Let me sing a line that leads into waves
Underwater
Bite the hook and
Feel much hotter
Where there’s a jig
You can’t be bothered
But hold onto the things that matter
You wore the scales of the mad hatter
Whose clothes were made to fit your father
But surface now and breathe another
Breath can fill your chest with better weather

about

Karl Blau Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

These records are all over the place. My latest studio record Love & Harm consists of a modern country rock sound featuring the pedal steel of Jon Hyde (Introducing) and amazing players you'd recognize from playing on stage with me. Living in Germantown, Philadlephia, started a recording project called Opal Eskar, check that out too. ... more
