13. The Hill
(acoustic guitar/ piano / vocals / foot stomps & claps by Ceschi
banjo / harmonies / foot stomps & claps by Radical Face)

During one of the most chaotic moments of my life, December 2010, Ben Cooper (aka Radical Face) flew up to Connecticut to help put together a studio with my brother and I. After setting up our studio space, Ben asked me to record one of my acoustic songs live to try out some of the microphones we had. I chose to do a song that had been sitting in my head since the Toca days around 2006. We recorded some banjo, harmonies & foot/hand percussion to fill it out as well. There are very few people that I respect as much as Ben Cooper - just wanted to say that.

lyrics

There are no roller coasters in the place where you will be.
There are no merry go rounds,
no ferris wheels nor pretty pink cotton candy
Over the hill
there'll be no friends
Over the hill
our stories end

There is no way around it
There are no safe detours
and you'll know when you've found it
because the silence there will ring forever more

some will arrive crying
others will arrive calm
but most will arrive trying
to return right back where they just came from

Over the hill
there'll be no friends
Over the hill
our stories end

Oh God
God help me believe you exist
help me believe in more than this

over the hill.

This Guitar Was Stolen Along With Years Of Our Lives
by Ceschi

supported by 110 fans who also own “The Hill”

Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do. I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool. Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world. oldtruck
