Drift by Jeremy Squires

© ℗ 2022 Jeremy Squires

“Squires’ music feels like it’s moving into that Bruce Springsteen direction, including that damn harmonica, you know, the one that sounds like a bird off in the distance, yearning for some new great love or something deep and meaningful.”

- Farce the Music

“It’s a song that finds him at his devastating best, built on just acoustic guitar, harmonica and vocals that quaver with both exhausted despondency and a steely inner strength.”

- Various Small Flames

“Reminds us of Elliott Smith with its relaxed vocal and more muted northwest production style. Old train tracks Americana sound a la Neil Young or Dylan. Sounds sincere and the classic interpretation feels right.”

- Pelican House

“Very heartwarming track and very touching lyrics. The vocals are incredibly moving as well.”

- Heartbeat

Lyrics

Do I amuse you…
When the night is slow?
I’ve been trying to let you go

In my head
You dance and sway
Searching for the words to say

Dressed in moonlight
Won’t you stay…
Turn around
Fade away
I was sad
Now I’m lost
I forgot where I belong

Catching spirits in your waking woes
It’s so hard to let you go

But It’s my burden
When I let you in
Turn to dust
To touch your skin

Dressed in moonlight
Won’t you stay…
Turn around
Fade away
I was sad
Now I’m lost
I forgot where I belong
