lyrics

Hunting For Father: Do What I Gotta Do.

So I do what I gotta do
Drink a beer on a Monday afternoon
My potential is rotting in a can
And the devil has got the upper hand.

So here I am, wrestling with the man
In the mirror running through my head
Disappear and reappear again
Now it's clear that I'm already dead.

So I do what I gotta do
Smoke a joint and laugh at me and you
Watch the people as they walk on by
I'm so happy I think that I could cry

And When I do, it'll all come out
I will prove that I can be myself
Disappear and reappear again
Now it's clear that I'm already dead.

So I do what I gotta do
Put a band-aid right over the bruise
Plant a seed and leave it to the wind
If it grows I hope to see it live.

And here I am, mother nature's child
With a problem that I could never solve
I could be anything I want
but today I think I'd rather not.

I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless. @NomadRoamsFree

Haunted Gardens

supported by 7 fans who also own “Do What I Gotta Do.”

Calm and lackadaisical but never without a hint (an overdose) of melancholy. Sadistik's understated delivery sports only a shadow of the energy of earlier releases. The instrumentation, with its clean angelic vocals paired with broken piano and string chords feels like it embodies the distant observation of beauty from below that pervades the entire album. Jof

Awesome duo, great combination of talents. It's almost too good- you know it's a little somber, but you can't help but listen again and again because it's so good. Matt Butler
