Born out of a piano practice exercise, Forest Hill continues on some earlier lyrical themes but places them in context of a seemingly elegant waltz. Seemingly.
This song was first performed at our 7th show ever, in Kentfield in December 2012.
Written in February 2012; piano recorded April 2013 in SSF, vocals recorded November 2013 in San Francisco
lyrics
Forest Hill futures are full in their fervor to further their foray abroad
Finding it funny to feed off the furor, they feather it forward and scoff
Save all your coupons and seek out the flashlights for Forest Hill fame is afoot
Show adulation and you'll be rewarded: remember that folly is moot
Face every feature and flip through the forest of fashion and filler in print
Follow the findings of folks in the fountain of florescent ink and you'll flip
Save all your coupons and seek out the flashlights for Forest Hill fame is afoot
Show adulation and you'll be rewarded: remember that folly is moot
Fear of these fences that fasten unfairly to foil the festering web
Finish your file while fidgeting fixes the fallow ferocity sent
Save all your coupons and seek out the flashlights for Forest Hill fame is afoot
Show adulation and you'll be rewarded: remember that folly is moot
