about

In Billings last week I sang at COR Enterprises to the delight of the dozens of music lovers who spend their days doing productive tasks. These wonderful people have various cognitive diasablities, and their hearts are big for someone who can sing their favorites. Happily, I know a number of their favs. My visit brought my friend Becky to mind who used to come and see me sing many nights at a bar in Bemidji, MN. One night she introduced me to Joe, her date. They shared a love of music as well as their disability. They found a loving relationship and they became married. They had a beautiful child the last time I saw them, and a beautiful love that was blooming and blowing everywhere.

lyrics

Number Seventeen, April 26th, 2012

Eight O'Clock

Eight o'clock
Can't come quick enough for you
As you watch the door
Check the mirror once more

Love has never been easy
Love has been so rare
Now it's blooming and blowing
Laughing and flowing
Everywhere

Every inch
You paid with innocence and tears
But you never hid your heart
You never sold your spark

Love has never been easy
Love has been so rare
Now it's blooming and blowing
Laughing and flowing
Everywhere

Now you found the smile that returns every treasure
Now you've found the voice that fills up your song
Now you've found the now in a world full of never
And it's real, and it's where you belong

Now it's eight o'clock
You're in the arms that wrap you up so close
There's nothing else but this
You find yourself in this

Love has never been easy
Love has been so rare
Now it's blooming and blowing
Laughing and flowing
And it's hiding and showing you
Love's everywhere

about

James Hersch Minneapolis, Minnesota

I live on this piece of prairie. I'm passionate and dedicated to writing songs in hopes of singing them for people. I don't think I could continue without both ends of that process. Create then hope. It's here I write songs, and here I wait to sing them for others. ... more
