about

“….Hoekstra continues to weave intricate stories that unite the minutae of the day to day with wider themes and social commentary….subtlety is the order of the day and few do it better…. we’ve come to expect such pitch-perfect musings from Hoekstra, Waiting is a wholly satisfying, literate listen. (Matt Dornan, Comes With a Smile UK)

lyrics

Driftin'

Somebody told me I was grounded
But I feel like I am driftin’
Driftin’ like the ocean
Driftin’ like the sand
Driftin’ like my hand
In quiet desperate motion
Moving through the darkness
Until it finds your skin
And the joy within

There’s a place in the darkness
Where black flows out of blue
There’s a place in my soul
Where I flow out of you

When I go to sleep at night
I want to wind up driftin’
But I’m held by a chain of sorrow
I’d like to break in two
I’d like to make it true
When I see tomorrow
That every moment matters
And the ordinary’s gone
As you and I go driftin’ on and on
