  • 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.

about

I think I wrote this as filler actually, I'm loathe to admit. I write a lot of songs, I need to do it I guess. I toy with them for awhile if something jumps out at me, maybe play a version live, see how it feels. I did this once, both Ani and Goat said it was a keeper, I tried it again but they didn't feel it was as good a take. I don't think I ever played it again.. it never made it to the live repertoire and no one has ever, ever requested it. Kind of a red headed step son of a song.

lyrics

You worry that the light is red, you worry what's beneath your bed, you worry 'bout what I just said, you're a worry, worry wart.

You worry about gravity and all the changes that you see, the earth is sucking constantly, you're a worry , worry wart.

Why don't you lighten up? Why don't you lighten up/

It's alright, alright, everybody got to run and hide, alright, alright, worry, worry wart.

You worry that you're not thought bright, you worry that they might be right, someone's gone and dimmed the lights, worry, worry wart.

You worry when someone is calling, they know your libido's stalling, status needs an overhauling, worry, worry wart.

You worry that it goes so slow, you worry that it seems so low, you can't stop the ebb and flow, you're a worry, worry wart.

Why don't you lighten up? Why don't you lighten up?
alright, alright, everybody got to run and hide, alright, alright, worry, worry wart.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the most worried of all, mirror, mirror, hey, you got me talking to myself.

You worry that they trade inside, you'll wake up the earth is fried, sometimes my worries are justified, you're a worry, worry wart.
