Text Box: Hoover the Dog

 

 

 

 

 

Yer gonna have fun,

       have a great time

Sublime you will giggle

As they juggle the joys of each note,

Of each key

Setting your expectations wildly free

Written from the heart

Every part of this world,

Is unfurled – You will see

And just as your spine feels the chance

Of a foot-stomping dance

Your soul will be whole in the

Wonder of dextrous-sweet melody

And your heart will restart

Admiring the art; setting your eyes

In tearful surprise

At the beautifully melancholy

Yes this is good

It is gutsy

It is gleeful

Gestalt – Excellent

Huge and inside you

Prepare for a full-bloodied sound

Set to invade you

Right here in the wonderful time to be had

With

Hoover The Dog

 

One of two poems written by Adrian Spendlow to introduce Hoover The Dog at Broadstairs Festival.

The second one, below, was written around the theme of their latest concept album which I believe is also a dance production. They are a great bunch of guys and they are planning to use this poem on the sleeve notes. Cheers

 

 

 Between

 

Born innocent and beautiful

We lift ourselves up

      And reach for the future

Unsteadily learning to be

And to arrive into life

Oh how we love

Throughout all of our living

Growing and being with

Tackling each crisis,

Of existing, surviving and aging

Hoping, as we gracefully become,

One with time

To fly with angels into the sublime

Between each instance of existence

Breathes the appreciation,

Of moments such as this

Such music is gifted of god

Be reborn in this moment

In the richest of melody
