Hold The Fire

lyrics

Hold the fire
Jon Cohen: Vocals, Guitars, Keys, Synths & Pianos.
Ken Martin: Bass
Seb Coté: Drums, Percussion & Sonic Triggers.

I get a static jubilation contemplating in awe
at the sight of the morning sun

your greatest thoughts are the ones that lie dormant
they are sleeping form the dawn until the day is done

I wrote a poem for my kitty on the way to the Canary
islands where they say the surf is good

And made the words so crooked left the syllables
naked just so that she understood

I was a curious child bent on succumbing
to the sweet disturbance of the status quo

The story goes I am told I could never paint a pigeon
black and make it sing like a crow

sad as it may seem I had to bury a dream
that I had written on a patch of snow

and now compassion, compassion is the muscle that
I exercise like a flame you help it grow

So hold the fire, hold the fire
hold the fire, hold the fire
So hold the fire, hold the fire
hold the fire, hold the fire

Hold the fire keep it burning climb it high
what's your truth supply when the whip comes down

And if I get any higher means I’m only fall faster
buried in the underground

I’ll get a static jubilation contemplating in awe
singing that song with no sound

I hold the fire your desire isin't keeping me warm,
guess I'll have to burn it around

Jon Cohen Ex Montréal, Québec

Fantasy prom king, master crafter of cult-pop gems and multi-threat instrumentalist Jon Cohen Experimental creates sweet but potent stories that spring from curiosity. This dynamic one-man band's beguiling art rock inventions and melodic hooks promise a sultry escape from those pesky workaday hang-ups. At times folksy, indie and at times grungy, the E.L.O vs. 90’s vibe is raw and unapologetic. ... more
