Patient Hands - I Shaved My Father's Face

From my debut album, Stoic (2019) Instagram, streaming, and more: https://linktr.ee/patienthands Lyrics: "Masturbating, In a bar bathroom, Why did I call myself, 'Living Room'? Shaman's cataract eyes - Didn't grandfather die? Didn’t grandfather die... This pit in my throat: A swollen lymph node, That I can't swallow away, I can't swallow away…" I wrote this song in November 2014 after coming home from the Camino de Santiago. I was extremely frustrated with my inability to recover from chronic illness. And I spent my days chopping wood and feeding a wood stove, reading Hemingway. I had become interested in the idea of just singing over drones. And playing guitar over a drone too. I wasn't yet in my super low tuning pedal tone guitar phase, but you can see the precursor to that style in this.
