about
I recorded this demo a few years ago when a close friend was going through a particularly difficult time, but never found a home for it. Today I would like to share it with a call to action. Keith Porter, Jr. was murdered by ICE agents at his home in Los Angeles on 12.31.25. It hasn't made the same impact in the news and the culture as the deaths of Renee Good or Alex Pretti, but it is every bit as tragic, criminal, unjustifiable, and upsetting.
All proceeds from this track will be donated to the GoFundMe set up by Keith Porter's family and matched by me. If you can, please donate directly to the GoFundMe (www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-franceolas-granddaughters-future), send me proof of your donation, and I will match as far as my finances will allow. Thank you.
lyrics
need a little anger to speak
need a little water to drink
I thought it would be safe on our team
gonna need some more time to let it sink
feels like the only safe location can be found through preservation
still the air starts spinning all around me
funnel clouds of words surrounding
decades of my life get taken in thirty seconds from the basement
it keeps
it keeps
it keeps
it keeps
keeps coming
keeps coming
it keeps coming
it keeps coming
it keeps
it keeps
it keeps
it keeps
keeps coming
keeps coming
it keeps coming
it keeps coming
it keeps coming
it keeps coming
it keeps coming
keeps coming
takes a little water to clean
leaves a little anger underneath
doesn't take a fire to leave
just a couple embers
The latest from Sonny Smith's long-running San Francisco outfit is clever and very sweet and more than a little bit country. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 3, 2021
