h.u.e (hope-uplifts-everything) After 10 years as 'jar-e', Jon Reid had the courage to step away from his successful main project and return to a more simple, soulful, sound. He's here and more honest than ever. Favorite track: Ode to Common Things.

Nevertheless 03:08
Nevertheless Long miles distance loss but in the pall of darkness, want you in the way, I feel it everyday Time tries, no love lost, but in the cost of simply having you away, I lose you in the gray It calls me when I’m sleeping, that patriotic feeling, that you won’t let me have But I won’t, I won’t, let you down Different is the blood that flows through me but still it call me back to you It’s funny ‘cause it’s true I am, I am yours but still I’m mine and that I’ll have to let you know, If the cancer doesn’t grow It calls me when I’m sleeping, that patriotic feeling, that you won’t let me have And I won’t, I won’t sell you out And when my body’s creaking, and my heart is weakened, I hope I have the same I hope I have a son, who doesn’t bow to anyone

Virgos 02:44
Virgos Maybe like the ocean, craving like the moon when it’s saving all it’s rays Maybe like the lover, more green than her envy she is crazy, maybe Maybe gray, not dark as black but far from royal blue There is madness in her kiss You new she was a sly one But you didn’t count on this She has seen you with that, with that other woman in the summer dress You are going to have to, have to be a good one if you wanna pass this test Maybe like the iris, iris of the baby wide and cautious as the dawn Maybe like the belly, belly of a lady like the sunset fading, waiting for day

In the Night 02:25
In the Night Watch as he’s waiting for her in the parking lot Coming on midnight they’re ready close And I need her so bad all I feel’s what I haven’t got Maybe I just need to buy some new clothes And then I’ll get a real job And I’ll go to bed at a reasonable time And then I won’t be following her in this taxi When I should be picking up people Who need a ride home in the night They’re both in the car now I’m staying a half mile back I turn down the radio So I can hear what they’re saying to each other He doesn’t get half of her jokes But I get ‘em I get ‘em I get ‘em I’m following close but not too close I want to be there when she tells him to get lost And gets out And I’ll be right there just to give her a free ride Wherever she needs to go in the night

Patient Time 01:51
Patient Time This will have to be my patient time You and I color blind Waking up with a place in mind You and I would go there all the time It’s a way to keep my thoughts in line Last December I had thought you mind Things like that can always change it’s fine I don’t blame you I don’t mind
5.
Moccasins 03:13
Moccasins I’m in my face but I don’t know I what I should do I try to come through and be myself But it takes so long and I’m not that sane I need someone to tell me what to do But I don’t know where that comes from So I’ll go on alone I try to walk and I try to sing And I try to rain down from my head and from my chin I don’t know and I might slip, I might fall on a banana peel It’s coming my way but I don’t know what I should do I shouldn’t do it your way ’cause you seen so lost and confused No parking here It’s ringing in my ears like a shell from a shadow I don’t know but I don’t think I believe in tomorrow Until I see the sunshine, until I see your eyes looking at mine I don’t know where I go but I’m not leaving this place yet Place your time, place your bets Place yourself in my shoes, on my ground, in my moccasins

Bright Girl 01:55
Bright Girl Wide eyed Sarah Jones was a bright girl Who could punctuate the night with the brightness of her smile And she’d lead you to feeling protected by her And you would come when she called Ordinary things they couldn’t touch So when they pulled her body out the lake you know she smiled Blue and white and full of sand It’s never over Blue and white and full of sand Calmly spreading out her hands to wings It’s never over

Ode to Common Things Plastic cars Velvet stars Paper dolls Candied hearts Mom and dad Baby sad Elephant Coming home Medicine Birds wings Common things Heady stone Cold back Lilac They do that Tie a knot

Ladies 02:41
Ladies I’m getting good at saying goodbye to the ladies I have loved That old familiar feeling washes over you Don’t look too long into the eyes of the lady you have loved It only makes it harder for the both of you A silent reply A lonely eye You know that you were both waiting for this the whole time Don’t sit around and look at all those pictures from before The world is big enough to hide the both of you Did she leave me or I leave you, I really can’t be sure The memory of our love has come unglued A silent night Fade away to fine You know that you were both waiting for this the whole time Please do not wait or waste even one second you’re fine Go back to being yourself you were never unkind Breathe in the light Don’t be unreasonable Please do not feel the pain You’re just who you meant to be One day she’ll feel the same

People Don’t Change People don’t change That’s all I know You can go far Or you can go slow You say that it’s right You say it’s for real But that doesn’t change What do I feel ‘Cause you can take away the honeymoon and stare into the sun Or you can try to pray away the life you had when it’s begun But this is what you’ve got This is what you’re given You can blame yourself When you’re not living People don’t change I’ve got no hope I know you well We can just cope People don’t change That’s all I know It’s something I read that you wrote long ago

Come Back Heart Come back heart And stay inside my ride You don’t need to run around We both know where it is I have got a hold on you It stretches like the sun Come back heart You’re the only one Come back heart Don’t play your silly game I know that you’re tire of me But I need you just the same We have seen some trouble yeah But what else can I do Come back heart I’m still in love with you Holy are the dear departed
