Stuck Lonesome

Caroline from Cinema Hearts Hank's bedroom pop is so sweet -- listening to his tape is like reading a love letter from a boy in class who's been pining for a girl from afar. His tender lyrics and classic country guitar melodies remind me of the Everly Brothers. This album is one of my favorites. Favorite track: I Can't Live My Life Alone.

  • Bag + Digital Album

    2019 marks the 5-year anniversary of my album, Stuck Lonesome.
    This Special-Edition Stuck Lonesome Canvas Tote Bag was designed by Pellet Factory in San Jose, CA, and is now available.

    When I was making this album, I was living in San Francisco's Sunset District, listening to a lot of Roy Orbison, & drinking at Terry's Lodge. These songs were recorded in my bedroom, practice space, and even a rented room at a Chinese children's music academy on Irving street. I wanted the whole thing to feel like being on a nice vacation — one that you're thankful for & lucky to be on — but also feeling low & down because you're maybe in exile or running away from your problems.

1.
True love fades, you'll rush to say / When your heart is stone, when it's locked away / True love fades, well you might think when all of your nights are long, waiting for someone to ring / Without a hope at all in your heart, you'll think true love fades, but you'd be wrong / True love fades when there's no one to see / No place but home, stuck with your memories
2.
You can get hurt, you know, not staying home / Inside your bedroom, inside each night / No one can touch you there or make you cry, like those other guys in your life / There's no reason for anyone to be yours / There's no way not to get hurt from it all
3.
You're lost each night at home all by yourself / What's the use when no one's worth seeing now? / Well, you can hope & pray all night but you're stuck lonesome in this life / How long will your heart wait before it turns away? / Before it turns to stone, no words, nothing to say? Well, you can hope & pray all night but you're stuck lonesome in this life
4.
I was broken, so jealous, of all your favorite singers / They all know you better than I do / Hold their songs in your head, pin them up on your wall / I'm afraid of their words, so boyish & tall / Your picture's in the lobby, with girls & cigarettes just to bore me / I own all their records, I'm so brave now / But I'm so afraid to speak aloud / It's not the voice you're dreaming of
5.
Out into the evening is no place to go / But it’s not right to just stay at home / I can't live my life alone / But it's not always so cruel / You try to be so tough, but that's just not you / I can't live my life alone / But I still go out with the crowd / You break some hearts, you hang around / But I can't live my life alone
6.
We drove to your hometown but no one was home / I was used to staying in, I'd wait by the phone / On that night we stayed out so late, was I in your head? / Or were you dreaming girl dreams that I can't understand? / Other boys will make you cry / I Just want to be in your heart, alongside the books and flowers in your room, in the dark / Don't forget me
7.
Donut World 01:48
I want a life of action, peril, misstep – like in books I've read / Malkmus says to face the truth, but I just can't relate / The name's Plissken, not Snake / Donut World stays open late, all hours of the day / I thought I'd see you there but you just never came / It gets so lonesome in a 24-hour kind of way
8.
Lost in darkness, they'd never look at me / Drunk with The Big Boss like I was truly empty / I hung around the walls like some deserter / Far from the light of any higher power / But night comes down so early in this town that I’d forgotten to see you / In the lights of the casino, I thought I'd disappeared too / So you know, so what? / Out all night with the worst of them with the promise I’d broken now
