about

Cinders In The Breeze by Stephen Artemis Jr. is a howling portrait of everyday life that is simultaneously optimistic and mournful. Drawing upon the artists experience navigating the unvarnished realities of early adulthood in America's Rust Belt, "Cinders" reflects the region's ardent nature, the hot fortitude of its people, and its cold economic undercurrent.

lyrics

The sun has just begun to rise, here comes the bus on down the line yeah.
It’s cold as hell my fingers sting, I pay my fare, take my seat yeah.
What is there to talk about? I go into work, I come back out.
Simple things, and a simple life, an ugly dog, and a pretty wife yeah.

I’m older now and I find myself far more complicated.
Got a little more weight, more on my plate, and I’m way more impatient.
The dog she is a-barkin’ at the keys out in the hall.
Won’t see it on no TV show it’s written on the bathroom stall.

Ain’t no use in crying when I die.
Make sure they nail my coffin good and tight.
I’ll wear the sharpest three piece that I own.
But I don’t think I’ll need it where I’m going.
And tell my pretty baby I love her so.
There’s many miles I still have left to go.
Out beyond the night sky is where I’ll be.
My bonfire spitting cinders in the breeze.
My bonfire spitting cinders in the breeze.
My bonfire spitting cinders.

Hey. You can’t put me out today.
