Quiet Hum by Lori Yamamoto

they ask a question answer hides in the quiet i should say no but something pulls me in lucky in a funny way no family, no job to tie me down artist company, but it’s not my song it’s my work, it’s the family’s song they ask if i like to watch on youtube, you know they say, “please do not use heavy machinery” and i laugh, so soft and low good counsel, yes thinking of Joni, yes she might say, “let’s do it,” just like me let’s hear that opinion let’s hear a little more someday we have the songwriter, me with my album, Quiet Hum, here with me they’ll say, “we will be right back” and the music starts to play i’m just sitting here a little lost, a little far away just the hum of the station quiet, humming sound thinking of Joni Mitchell still walking on this ground
