about

The first single off his upcoming album - A Brief Emotional Dragon - Kid Fourteen's song is a synth-western-ballad about being and feeling homeless, immigrating and relocating, and the need for wishful thinking met with a seemingly unfair world. Characterized by its consistent beat and marching bass line, Spaghetti western guitar chords, crooner vocals, and alarming sax, the song is as haunting as it is dreamy while carrying the weight of the world.

lyrics

Where do the homeless sleep when they dream
and which lovers do they take to their grave
do they look at the sky in between
an empty space
and a better place

Do they stand in the rain
and not feel the cold
like watching lovers being free (on old TVs)

Do they cry from happiness like mothers do
when their children go through
their empty nest to emptiness

Does their wine taste like kings
dignified in their madness
and the fate of the world
is in their glasses

and what remains of a beautiful dream
is the sun and what’s been
in the past a child and her eyes are wild
thinking the world
is fair
