about
it was a rare privilege to work with Dionne Farris. she is a true vocal painter. so much so, that in 23 years i’ve never felt the need to record this song. it was the first of mine to be released into the world and i’m thankful to her for the opportunity she gave me. i was asked to do my take on this ditty, which gave me the chance to add musical elements i thought too heavy to put on the original.
it is an exalted experience to feel and hear people from all walks of life sing the same song in one room. 'penny with a hole in it' (its original title) is a gift that comes back to me each time i hear you sing it.
*artists like myself appreciate your patronage
lyrics
hello, mornin'
now when does the fun begin?
g'bye, mornin
sorry it has to end
you see i cried just a little too long
now it's time for me to be strong
hello mornin'
i sure missed you last night
g'bye mornin'
you just won't do me right
you see i stayed just a little too long
now it's time for me to move on
they say i'm hopeless
as a penny with a hole in it
they say i'm no less
than up to my head in it
hello, yesterday
i sure need you now
g'bye, yesterday
i just can't stay around

in a place much worse then most music can catch in/on to, am streaming the album until the music can. have more faith in Hiatus Kaiyote as soundallies then a presenter could assume or guess. I love you all significantly, there's a mango vape, thc9 watermelon syrup and organic cigarettes if you come through however🙏🏼, I don't really have any money. BeatsaNdBuds

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
