Album: Hey EP

Queen of the Fools

Hey, do you want to be Queen of the Fools?
Hey, do you want to believe that you were great?
Your friends, supposed critics, they stand in line.
Reassure you, “You are doing fine.”
But if I had to believe a single word was said.
If I had to bet dollars for truth of all that has been said.

I’d believe the trolls.
I’d believe the trolls.
I’d believe that I’m at fault.

Hey, do you want to be Queen of the Fools?
Hey, do you want to believe that you are great?

I’d believe the worst was true about me.

The Damsels in Distress: Recording Hey EP

Posted on by

Micah got a text from a friend asking us to make a fake EP for a fake record label. No expectations and no pressure. How nice! We wrote five songs and spent the next two weekends recording.

As we worked, the kids began to watch and sing along. Along with the songs, L.K. put together fun album art. A childhood picture of L.K. on a bicycle reappears on the front, and the back features our first daughter E.K. skipping at a lake. The word “hey” appears in every song. So that happened. We put it on our bandcamp. We hope you take a listen.
