Humidity 02:50
It’s 80 degrees but you could’ve fooled me sweat's curling up my hair And it’s all thanks to this southern humidity You could use a knife to cut up the air Move along (move along) Till the work is done There’s nowhere else I’d rather be Than sweating away my summer days In this old dominion humidity Cicadas chirp that classic song My glasses are as foggy as the dew (good mountain dew) The sun’s beating down on my old home town Boiling the river into stew Move along (move along) Till the work is done There’s nowhere else I’d rather be Than sweating away my summer days In this old dominion humidity Shed all the layers you please Don’t be afraid to show off your knees Do what you’ve gotta do To keep that humidity from getting to you The sun’s going down and you hope the heat does too Or maybe for a nice cool breeze But there’s a reason we call her Virginia Because she’s a hot-blooded tease Move along (move along) Till the work is done There’s nowhere else I’d rather be Than sweating away my summer days In this old dominion humidity

Why does it smell like tuna in here? Why do you insist on drinking cheap beer? It's so windy outside I might lose my hat But then I come in and the air feels flat I watch the kids out smoking weed in the park Their smoke curling upward and into the dark We don't close the blinds, 'cause we like the light And if you fell from the window you'd die from this height Ooo, I got the big city blues Ooo, Everything’s brand new The sun's always blinding at quarter past four It's golden rays shining on my closed door I've got people to meet and I've got songs to play, Though I hate them now, I know I'll miss these days Ooo, I got the big city blues Ooo, Everything’s brand new Ooo, With nothing left to lose So why am I feeling so blue?

Three Days 02:44
We sat in your window and talked until dawn You played me your favorite Bob Dylan song, The one that your mother loved to played. I closed my eyes, wished we could stay I watched from the floor as you packed all your things Together we sang all the songs we could sing Songs all about saying goodbye Oh, how this year flew by

about

Sweet Petunia Boston, Massachusetts

Listening to queer freak folk duo Sweet Petunia for the first time, many are blown away by the interchanging vocal lines of Madison Simpson & Mairead Guy. Unbelievably, the two are not related, though their voices are almost indistinguishable from each other. These brother harmonies lead Sweet Petunia through many shifting genres, melding traditional folk sensibilities with a distinct punk flare. ... more
