Dave Hause - Fireflies

LYRICS:
I’ve got a sepia toned Polaroid of you from days gone by
You look so good in shades but I wish I could see your eyes
Shining bright right back at me like you saw something in mine
Lighting up the August night like dizzy fireflies
If we saved a thousand dollars back we knew we would be fine
We would sneak into the golf course back when all we had was time
We’d lie under the fireflies and drink a box of wine
Long before you wanted more and the whole world lost its mind
This whole world lost its mind
Can you meet me there tonight?
I don’t want nothing but your hand in mine
Like when we were young and wild eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies
If I can double up my salary next year we might afford a house
I could work away my fingerprints, grind the teeth out of my mouth
You said if we can’t find our hope we’ll end up living by our fear
But every day seems less ok and it hasn’t been our year
I’m older now and all I know how is to work to see your face
Smiling proud knowing we carved out a tiny little space
But this clock just keeps on ticking, we can’t seem to slow it down
So let’s kick against the current and I’ll hold you if we drown
I’ll hold you if we drown
Can you meet me there tonight?
I don’t want nothing but your hand in mine Like when we were young and wild eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies

Dave Hause is an artist that is constantly growing and evolving. I've grown up a lot over the years while listening to his music. A lot of the songs could be playing in the background of life. He manages to capture the reality and rawness of life.

Anyday with new music from Dave hause is a good day 🎶❤🌹🌹🌹

[@candcplastering247]

Love this song Dave .

[@davebuttomer8427]

I fall deeper in love with everything, each and every time I listen to this.

[@josephwmiller2]

Good folk music flattens time, compressing it into perceptual infinity. It's a lot like love.

[@kirsty7387]

Pure Class 😊

[@goddamnrelentless]

This artist needs more recognition. This is an amazing song.

[@saiko_1]

Friendly Satinist You’re right! But the problem is that this label is full of teenage metalcore/post-hardcore kids who don’t recognize good music, look at the dislikes...

[@goddamnrelentless]

@@saiko_1 Yes, and it is really sad considering how much talent this artist has.

[@Celebmacil]

@@saiko_1 Yeah, but who cares about the dislikes of others, I only care about what I like. And this? I love.

My brother would have loved this song. He nicknamed me his lil firefly when I was younger Amazing lyrics 😍

[@domenkay4514]

LoyalGirl i hope you dont mind me asking, that's incredibly sweet but, "would have"?

[@samhernandez9429]

@@domenkay4514 he passed away 7 years ago from suicide 😕

[@domenkay4514]

LoyalGirl LoyalGirl Sorry to hear that, i didn't mean to bring up any bad memories, i was just curious. He probably called you lil firefly because you were his light in the dark? You were probably really important to him. I didn't know your brother but you talk lovingly about him, and he didn't deserve to go out that way. He was probably to good for this world. In japan i think fireflies are (in myths etc...) believed to be the souls of the dead who fell while battling, something your brother probably did a lot of. I don't know how much you believe about that stuff and i am not going to push anything on you, but next time you see fireflies maybe thats him telling you it is his turn to be your light? Even tough the world is kinda bad, remember there are a lot of good things to live for and experience. I wish you all the best, and i hope things like music can bring back good memories of him.

Firefly Desiree........ I've only listened to two of his songs, but I couldn't stop thinking about how much my son would have liked his music, and how much he and my daughter, his younger sister would have bonded over his music....... He passed away 9 months ago, also from suicide..... And his sister was also his light in the dark. That thought was very nice Domen Kay. I hope you don't mind if I think of my son and daughter that way too......

[@samhernandez9429]

Domen Kay -So I now just saw this comment a year ago and it completely brought me to tears. I wish I would have read this at the time because that honestly was exactly why he called me his firefly and why everytime any firefly is mentioned I smile a little cause I think of him. I’m now gonna look at fireflies as his way of being here for me. So thank you so much that, you don’t even know how big of an impact that has on me. Thank you so much a year later that truly made my day and the other night I had a really bad night because I was thinking of how badly I miss my brother so reading this now brings me immense comfort.

"The World has lost it's mind". It's always been like this. We are just aware of it now because of the internet. A simple philosophy but couldn't be more true.

[@johndoe-rb8jk]

i need tp go back to the trees layed by the water.where no one seen anything but lapping currents

[@semproniaprocax2942]

I don’t dislike this, but why is this on Rise?

[@vinnievoet1846]

Maybe because Dave was the lead singer of the Loved Ones. They played punkrock.

[@patwhoknows9584]

Dave's an old punk rocker

[@vinnievoet1846]

Ik know, he still is... Plays Groezrock on Saturday. His live shows are amazing and full of raw emotion and punk rock energy.

[@adamhughes4387]

@@vinnievoet1846 Dave, along with Brain and Chuck, is a very talented songwriter that wraps his lyrics up in fast, up beat punk style music that very often disguises how deep the words go. A slower song like this that comes along maybe once or twice per album really brings the lyrics to the fore; although since he started doing solo stuff thats been more prevailent anyway.
