Dark vocal timbre juxtaposing bright guitar.
Unxigned · 2021
A muted guitar that opens up into the perfect rock ballad; it kicks in with this perfect punch of classic indie rock.

Lyrics
Goddamn, why you like this?
When I just need a friend
So caught up in what you wanna do
That you don’t even ask how I’ve been
Goddamn, do you see me?
Feels like you look right through
It feels like all that I’m worth
Is what I can do for you
There’s more to life than your bottom line
Or the lines that you draw in the sand
You made your bed and it’s all in your head
And there’s always some big plan
Who am I?
The worst of my kind
And I’m so goddamn selfish
Goddamn, you feel a weight
And we all feel it, too
Walls are closing in and the air is drawing thin
Man, it ain’t only happening to you
Goddamn, who are we?
And what do we really need?
We could lift each other up and we could fill each other’s cups
If not for all this fear and greed
There’s more to life than your bottom line
Or the lines that you draw in the sand
You made your bed and it’s all in your head
And there’s always some big plan
Who am I?
The worst of my kind?
Am I so goddamn selfish?
About
Hunter Cahill is an Austin, Texas singer-songwriter. His debut collection Some Things You Don’t Know About Me arrived between 2021 and 2022: six self-recorded singles, confessional music that kept its distance. The press noticed. Austin Town Hall drew comparisons to David Bazan; Soundsphere called it “stunning.” He released all of it wearing a wolf mask.
The Estuary Sessions, recorded with engineer Matt Gerhard, go further back than the coping does: to a religious upbringing where love and fear were the same, and to what that does to a person.
