HEAT OF THE SUN feat. Chris Henderson (4:01)
written by Blake J Berglund (SOCAN/ASCAP)

lyrics

The Heat of the Sun quit reminding me of living
I used to bask in its glory and its shade
But with each waking hour leading into its existence
Grows a pit that just develops through the day

Depending on the night that came before it
How I went and chose to make a day
I'll sleep in for as long as I want, woman
Was up here half the night just lying awake

Well, I worry if my thoughts don't change
The ones that I might entertain
Define a man as simply overcome
'Cause I always thought we just turn to dust
Or wander 'round like we were lost
Headed for the Heat of the Sun

Well, the Heat of the Sun gave me an empire that I could stand on
And the stands I had to take to keep it that way
I guess where I saw myself as a provider
I know I missed the mark on how to spend a day

I got two strong boys just trying to catch their father
One's paying an honest dollar for all that I made
And the other just comes and goes like I used to
Try and keep busy every time he's gotta leave

If my old man saw me this way
He'd hop right out from of his grave
And take me to a place to overcome
If return whence we came
He hopped a cosmic bullet train
and headed for the Heat of the Sun

Blake Berglund regina, Saskatchewan

The timing of the coronavirus pandemic aligned with the ending of an album cycle and Blake Berglund accepted it was more interesting to disappear.

Berglund emerges in a new environment as a truther with a job to do. His songwriting is influenced by a rapidly changing society and the glaring difficulties of the human condition. A thoughtful twang packaged with a fearless and satirical wit.
