about

"Hammer It In!" is part of a series of songs recorded and mixed at home with a piano, an upright bass, a typewriter, glasses of water, a box of lightly salted breadcrumbs, a shaker, a children's bongo drum, a children's small rainbow xylophone, and an old guitar with a bright sound and action so high I had to superglue bits of leather to the tips of my fingers so they wouldn't bleed.

It's about using meditation to stop thinking about a guy with a girlfriend (because yeah, that's totally how it works.)

lyrics

I'm a greedy child; I won't be satisfied with sound alone
cause I've felt a spark; a dangerous energy I've only felt once before

and I feel it in my body; hammers on the tendons
230 strings and they're all hurting
and the drummer's are all we need to hammer it in

hammer it, hammer it in! (x6)

guided meditation; learn through repetition on the Persian rug
the voice is soothing from its bed of synth strings
like a being of light and love

so hammer it, hammer it in!
I have got no place in this!
hammer it, hammer it in! (x4)

you are beautiful and you are all your own and you are free
and you are beautiful and I ain't got an ounce of jealousy
I'll hammer that in, hammer it hammer it in!
