about

Simple and to the point, HIDT (How I Died Today) is about all of the little things in our day to day lives that try to bring us down. If we let them, these little things add up, killing us slowly over months and years. This song is about not going quietly into that good night and fighting against the tides of time.

lyrics

I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF HOW I DIED TODAY
LINED UP IN THE CHECKOUT STAND
NICKELS AND DIMES AND PENNIES TO PAY
OUT OF POCKET AND OUT OF HAND

I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF HOW I DIED TODYA
AS THE MO0UNTAIN OF WORDS BARES DOWN
ONCE AGAIN CAUGHT SHORT WITH NO WORDS TO SAY
UNDER THE WEIGHT OF IT ALL I START TO DROWN

OH WE BOTH KNOW OUR RIDE ENDS THE SAME WAY
OH WE BOTH KNOW WE WERE MEANT TO GO DOWN IN FLAMES

ON AND ON WE TRY A LITTLE HARDER
ON AND ON WE GO A LITTLE FARTHER
ON AND ON OUR ROAD GOES OUT FOREVER
ON AND ON, ON AND ON, WE TRY AGAIN

I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF HOW I DIED TODAY
WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER PASSED ME FAST
IT WAS CLEAR IN HIS EYES HE MIGHT BE TO FAR GONE TO SAVE
HIS HATE HAD BURNED HIM DOWN TO THE VERY LAST

I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF HOW I DIED TODAY
AS THE YEARS OF LOVE START TO FADE
NOTHING LEFT TO TIE ME DOWN NO REASON LEFT FOR ME TO STAY
TIME FOR ME TO SLEEP IN THE BED THAT I MADE

OH WE BOTH KNOW OUR RIDE ENDS THE SAME WAY
OH WE BOTH KNOW WE WERE MEANT TO GO DOWN IN FLAMES

ON AND ON WE TRY A LITTLE HARDER
ON AND ON WE GO A LITTLE FARTHER
ON AND ON OUR ROAD GOES OUT FOREVER
ON AND ON, ON AND ON, WE TRY AGAIN

about

The Typical Johnsons Ohio

Long - time friends Jeremy and Lynne began practicing and writing music in 2012 and at the time, neither of them had been playing for more than a year. Knowing only that the lyrics that they were writing could be drawn directly from their lives, they learned on the go preferring to gain experince by playing live shows. Described by listeners as a Folk/ Americana / Roots Rock hybrid. ... more
