Name: IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Duration: P00H03M40S
Description: I think I was trying to create something that sounded like The Velvet Underground if I remember correctly but in retrospect I think I was pretty off the mark. There were dozens of incredible bands playing The Electric Lounge every night, why I didn't lasso one and yank them upstairs into the warehouse I don't know...anyway this is what I came up with.

Hamell not only records music, performs live, does independent writing, he also paints. All of the images below, and many you see as the accompanying artwork on the digital releases, are Hamell paintings. These vary in size and price, but are all acrylic on canvas. Hamell paints scenes inspired by the 'underground' and 'disenfranchised' of our society. Ed uses bold and bright colors in his paintings which contrast the darker subject matter, championing the underclass, drawing you into the characters he depicts, endearing you to them and sparking emotions one might not anticipate.Hamell is also available for specific painting commissions.

lyrics

Teach me, reach me, you can see me comin', you can start your bummin' in the market...now I'm small time, you can block out rhymin', you can keep on climbing as you bark it. And you would and you would and you would if you only could, drop by anytime that you're in the neighborhood.

Send me, trend me, on a mission paling, destined for to failing from the start, beat it cheat it, block it with some intake, never hear the rib break near my heart. And you would and you would and you would if you only could drop by anytime that you're in the neighborhood.

Assorted daughters, pat you on the back, tell you you don't lack no savoir-faire. striving, diving, straightening your tie you don't meet my eye 'cause you don't dare. and you would and you would and you would if you only could...drop by anytime that you're in he neighborhood.
