about

Sitting In The Car (2020)
This song uses field recordings of the sound of rain from inside our family car and was written by recording a 5 minute voice memo while “sitting in the car, listening to n p r.” To get the full effect, please feel free to put on your local public radio station very softly in the background while listening to the track.

lyrics

sitting in the car
listening to n p r
waiting for my wife
to come outside

daughter sitting in the back
with a stack of library books
silently together
passing time

she is wondering
if I’ll make up a story
about wizards and dragons
and gold hidden in mountains

rain is falling
everywhere
endless streams
from here to there

rain is falling
on the top of my car
reminding me of
of my daughter’s middle name

Amane
the heavenly sound of rain
is in my car
reading

sitting in the car
listening to n p r
waiting for my wife
to come out from a meeting

everyone else running
really really really really fast
maybe off to class
or a lesson

or out to another car
to be picked up by someone else
who's probably
listening to n p r…as well

rain is falling
everywhere
endless streams
from here to there

rain is falling
on the top of my car
reminding me of
of my daughter’s middle name

Amane
the heavenly sound of rain
is in my car
reading

sitting in the car
listening to n p r
looking for my wife
to come down the steps

windshield wipers
moving back and forth
south to north
out of time with my

playing the ukulele
and singing with the daily
news on n p r

rain is falling
everywhere
endless streams of thought
from here to there

rain is falling
on the top of my car
reminding me of
of my daughter’s middle name

Amane
the heavenly sound of rain
is in my car
reading
