Song of the Week: Small Houses- "Oh, Hiding Out"

I gotta give a little love to fellow blogger's Songsfortheday and Slowcoustic for turning me onto the work of Jeremy Quentin and his indie/folk project Small Houses. A Michigan native, Quentin is now based out of Philadelphia and his latest album Exactly Where You Wanted To Be hits outlets today via Yer Bird Records. There's something about this album that has a classic old nostalgic feel to it, and for me it's highlighted by the simple harmonica filled track, "Oh Hiding Out."
Small Houses is out on tour now in support of the new disc, and I'm pretty stoked to find out that he'll be making an appearance down at SXSW on March 17th. For more info and to keep up with all the latest tour info you can visit his website HERE.



Small Houses- "Oh, Hiding Out"
Well I'm staying with a friend down on 20,
where the yelling ain't that hard,
and the yelling ain't that hard.

And the boys they're gonna shout with the living,
and stay just where they are,
stay just where they are.

I got a year to miss with every town I'm in,
and a girl just to break my heart.

And on the weekends we can drive into the city,
where the leavings left and far,
the leavings left and far.

Well St. Louis isn't gone, no it's hidden,
and waiting in my voice,
waiting in my voice.

And the boys, they hear my block when they listen,
and sing with every noise,
sing with every noise.

I got a year to miss with every town I'm in,
and a girl just to break my heart.

And although I said I meant it when I didn't,
let's dream of Illinois,
dream of illinois.

I got a year to miss with every town I'm in,
and a girl just to break my heart.
Well Sarah I can't lift just too much more than this,
there's my head, this town, and arms.

So, I'm staying with a friend down on twenty,
where the yelling ain't that hard,
and the yelling ain't that hard.
