about

This is my attempt at defining anhedonia, a psychological state characterized by a lack of pleasure, interest, motivation, etc.

For this track I put new strings on my guitar, refigured the mike setup and used hard compression on the guitar track. I like the crunchy result. Nice contrast to the closely miked softer vocal (IMHO).

lyrics

ANNIE HEDONIA

SPARKLING EYES, WILL-O-THE-WISP
PULL ME IN THEN GIVE ME THE SLIP
ROSE PETAL MOUTH SWALLOWS MY BEST LAID PLANS

HEAT SINK BODY
CONSUMING PLEASURE FOR MILES AROUND
LILTING VOICE THAT DULLS THE WILL TO SURVIVE

EVEN WITH SUCH A CONTRADICTORY
PERSONALITY
EVEN WITH YOUR FALSE CONVIVIALITY
YOU HAVE COMFORTED ME

YOU LINGER IN THE MORNING
ANGRY WITHOUT WARNING
YOUR LAUGH IN THE AFTERNOON PUTS MY MIND IN A LIMBO

YOU LEAVE IN THE EVENING
LIQUOR ON THE TABLE
YOU LURK AT NIGHT AND PULL THE DARKNESS IN TIGHT

EVEN WITH SUCH A RIGOROUS SCHEDULE
EVEN WITH YOUR UNREASONABLE FEES
YOU’VE FOUND TIME FOR ME

ANNIE HEDONIA
IT’S BEEN NICE TO KNOW YOU
BUT MY MOTIVATION IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW

ANNIE HEDONIA
YOU’RE A COMMANDING PERSONA
BUT I’M HERE TO TELL YOU IT’S TIME TO GO

about

Daniel Heila & Daniel Boone's Fault Eugene, Oregon

Podunk expat living in Oregon trying to remember to put the chickens in and the cats out at night. Will the woodshed ever get built? I wonder. Somewhere between family and fortune is a bit of quiet space where I get a song written now and then.
