about

It was fall and I bought seven sweaters from goodwill. I would wear these sweaters for the rest of winter. I wore them so often my boss complained. I was strangling myself in layers and it was coming out in the way I talked, walked and wrote.

“Fragments stir outside of the diner, Shattered and scattered, the pieces of birds you left in alleyways”

I was driving to Denver on the weekends and staying in this cheap motel. I wouldn't go out into the city. I'd just stay inside this dirty room and write in my journal.

For a few weeks that month this tourist in Aspen took pity on me. I would be sober but she would drink. She spoke a mean game about life but it was hard to take her seriously. I knew she was broken. We slept together for a while and then I never heard from her again.

We were never enamored with each other. There was never a thought of it being a real relationship. But it was more than sex; it was about being honest with someone without repercussions.

lyrics

We tear each other apart
With our nicotine stained teeth
But they were only love marks
My lips on your fake spray-on tan shoulder
Your beautiful fists breaking my empty eye sockets

You think it would be fun if we made love, falling down a flight of metal stairs?

You think it would be fun if we made love in a bed filled with razors and soft sheets

I can smell your stiches

Well I’m bruised and broken,
There are some things that are just supposed to go unspoken
Well there are certain position’s we can’t help but fall in
The way you came out was like watching the northern lights through ice
You were cold and green and unattainable

Bashful Hips Chicago, Illinois

Bashful Hips is an Avant Garde project from the mind of Ian Fellerman. Bringing his sometimes searing, sometimes hilarious but always poignant observations to bear over an entire stable of Noise Rock/Hip Hop informed Electronica, Ian's music is never stable, always changing and searching for the sound to express his feelings.
