Hey y'all, this is H... I've been holding off on breaking into Geoff's Tumblr because it was always a hands off area for me. But I would feel remiss to not let you guys know that he passed away on the 8th of May,shortly before one in the afternoon. His pain was well managed and I feel like his soul was at peace.

On April 25th, I woke up to him having a seizure and then he stopped breathing. The EMTs were able to get him breathing but he never woke. He had a couple three heart attacks and a bunch of seizure activity. He just didn't get enough oxygen for too long, although it wasn't ever considered brain death. His angiogram was surprisingly clear but there was weakness in his right ventricle. He was in ICU at Virginia Mason in Seattle, intubated but still breathing on his own, for 8 days. His dad and brothers flew in and his mom and I and them made the hard decisions together. His cousin was with him at the end and he had so many friends come visit him. We played his favorite songs and some that he didn't like. We held his hands, prayed, cried, talked, and everyone told stories...

Well, not me. I kept my stories to myself because no one else would understand what was so funny. Like him singing Holiday Road every time we went in a trip. Or us yelling at deer on one of our first dates in that damn Volvo he had.

Anyway, I thought that you all would like to know. Henry and I are doing a well as can be expected but kids are way more resilient than adults. My heart is broken but I soldier on. Just know that if he knew you or talked to you, he loved you. Tell your people how you feel. Every. Fucking. Day.

SURPRISE!!! My very first single "You and I" is out on Spotify RIGHT NOW!!! I cannot even believe I'm saying that, I've wanted to release music for so long and just woke up on Thursday feeling like I needed this song out. I simply recorded it on my phone and put it out!! I wanted to release it before I turned 17 and Valentine's Day was yesterday so I felt very inspired. I'm so so happy with this song, I feel like it captures a part of my soul that I really wanted to share with the world. I hope you guys love it!🤍

At the end of the day

I hope I’m no one’s sweetheart

Nor would I be someone’s best friend

I don’t want relationships to tank

No one to suffer, to die in the end

I’m afraid I’ll misstep

I get emotional, overly upset

I’m not gentle with my bomb

I’m a deadly disease

A burden you’ll keep with life

Never rid of with ease

I can’t handle being there for you

When just being has gotten hard

I’m content by my lonesome

Better to keep your skin clean than scarred

Where Gettin’ Older was a very personal collection of songs, In Another Life is, for the most part, its opposite.

It’s a collection of songs about fictional situations and fantasies that maybe could have been my reality in an alternate universe, with one notable exception.

That exception is Normal. Despite being the most personal song I’ve ever written, I kept Normal on this album because it represents “In Another Life” in a different way: it feels like it took a lifetime (or three) to make it here.

I feel less like I need to explain myself with this collection of songs because they’re not as much like diary entries set to music. They’re just some of my favourite songs I’ve ever written. They’re fun, they’re a little vicious and they romanticize life in a way that I don’t normally do in my songwriting.

I’m so happy this is out in the world!

Well the night she has fallen--she's down on her knees.

Like the moon drunk and calling, I'm calling to sea.

Oh, sweet west wind wash me--my hands are caked and stained.

Won't you lay down beside me; love, I need your pain.

And you know it's going to be alright,

And you know it's going to be alright,

And you know it's going to be alright,

When the morning comes.

Throwback: Happy Black History Month/Happy 92nd Birthday, Nina Simone! @NinaSimoneMusic

Today is the 21st of Black History Month. Because the current administration is racist, fascist and wants to deny the existence and histories of anyone that isn’t cis-het and white, there are some important things everyone should remember during this month — and every single month:  You can’t love Black artists and their work, and not see them as people  Black lives — and Black art…

Peter Yarrow, the singer-songwriter best known as one-third of Peter, Paul and Mary, the folk-music trio whose impassioned harmonies transfixed millions as they lifted their voices in favor of civil rights and against war, has died. He was 86.

Yarrow, who also co-wrote the group’s most enduring song, “Puff the Magic Dragon,” died Tuesday in New York, publicist Ken Sunshine said. Yarrow had bladder cancer for the past four years.

A song for those quiet moments you wish could last for a long time. A lullaby to a loved one, a whispered wish for continued togetherness that can never be certain. A prayer of gratitude for what is somehow here now in spite of reason or merit ❤️

I feel like a flower

Go ahead and trample me

Forgot me

I only exist to appeal to you

I am hardly beautiful

Only for one moment a year

That’s when you notice me

To you I am nothing of importance

Until I show you my petals

You pick me

Breaking my legs

I’ll wither in your care

The water in a vase

Occasional fertilizer

Occasional love you give to me

I’ll be thrown out within days

For a new flower

Someone fresh, young and beautiful

Like I once was
