about

There are people in life that seem to bring a cloud of toxicity and conflict along with them wherever they go. When they come into my world it's like storm clouds have formed over my head and, there is only a matter of time before the first rain drop falls and the storm erupts... The storm opens up old wounds, I'm left rudderless and disorientated from it and as I start to pick myself back up I know it's only a matter of time before it happens again. In 'Like A Bass Drum' I am begging for it to end, stop beating on my heart like a bass drum.

-JSH

lyrics

Oh baby when you’re talking I can feel a cloud
that’s turning dark
waiting for the first raindrop
dripping down my face and filling up
trying hard but it won’t stop raining
till you shut up and let me go
stop beating on my heart

now and then I get a window
showing me a field and summer sun
oh when I go to sleep
clouds splitting full of sleet until it snows

I’ve been dreaming of a time
I’m sleeping with a smile
when I’m alone
but you’re beating on my heart
like a bass drum

I can feel the storm
I can feel it coming on
I can feel my heart
beating like a Tommy gun
I can’t keep my calm
Maybe I should end it all

Picture this I know it’s hard
But I used to be happy
Some years ago
Oh baby when you start
You make me disappear into the snow
Maybe I was wrong
Messing with friend
I’m for the end
To take me home
Please stop beating on my heart like a bass drum
