about

A bit of following a path Cohen travelled...a list of what "everybody knows"and the kind of thing one writes when confronted every day and night with an experience of beauty that is anything but gentle, demure, or serene. I've always been a sucker for a good paradox.

lyrics

Real Beauty Aches
Words and Music by G.Hoskins


Everybody knows that new love is easy
Everybody knows it takes no skill to fall
Everybody knows that the trick is to stay
When you keep hitting walls.

Every star, we've learned,
Takes an explosion to burn
Make no mistake
Real beauty aches.

Everybody knows confusion is a doorway
To a vision that is clear
Everybody knows that courage is found
In the arms of fear.

Every star, we've learned,
Takes an explosion to burn
Make no mistake
Real beauty aches.
