The Hesitant
Judging all prospective partners with microscope eyes
Labeling them as defective and damaged merchandise
Even Venus would be less than in your eyes
Aphrodite’s wet hair would be a tarnished prize
Hesitant
Keeping all your options open has closed off your heart
The only part of love you understand is its start
That shock of magic that quickens your heart
Quickly diminishes as you look at her as art
Hesitant
Put up on a pedestal eventually she’ll fall
Pushed off by your need to control it all
Your fear of love is really a fear of growing old
When death will take away the love that you try to hold
Hesitant
Put away your fear, let fly your secret dream
Take a hand in yours, take a chance, and be redeemed
Truth is never perfect for in perfection pain’s concealed
Beauty resides in the wounds that we reveal

I have a kid who was a baby when the pandemic started and a toddler now. When he’s older and asks what the pandemic is like I’m gonna put this album on and pour myself a drink- this covers it all. Feels surreal to imagine ever having the privilege of going to see a Jeffrey Lewis show again but it’s top of my list when this crap is over.

Nothing not to love about the jangly sounds of the Vovos, who blend catchy melodies with whip smart lyrics.
