Heavy Elevator, 2021
Written by Hamish Hawk.
I just love Ham, as we Hawkheads call him. (I made that name up.) The first and only other time I featured on of his songs on this blog, I just squealed fanboyish encomiums and made references and had no content about the song itself. Why change now? Hawk is like Neil Hannon if he were more literate, Nick Cave if he could sing ten times better, Bing Crosby raised on orchestral pop and "King Lear." Oh, all right. This song seems to be about a broken heart. "Can it last? I think not / Tezcatlipoca gets himself around a lot." I think if you were to make a word cloud of Hawk's lyrics, it would be almost utterly distinct from the average pop-rock word cloud.
