Asiah Mehok and Hawkboy

My son, Andrew, is doing a summer internship at Regenerate Music Company in Cleveland, Tennesse. So I checked out some of the bands and singers he would be meeting down there and he has some interesting musicians to get to know. One artist is Asiah Mehok. Here she is singing her song "So Much".



Next is a video for a song that was uploaded today.
As I understand it, Andrew helped out with this video:



This song is a cover of a song by another Regenerate group called Hawkboy,  The song is called 2 Bit.

Here is Hawkboy singing the song 2 Bit.



2 Bit lyrics:

Lover got caught in the rapture
Vanished right, vanished right
Lover got caught in the rapture
Vanished right, vanished right

Oooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Oh no!

Your lover got caught in the rapture
Vanished right, vanished right from your sight
I guess they were right
After all

Don't say you weren't warned
Nobody's found behind the wheel
They were just empty clothes crashing those cars
In a flash they were gone, but your lover got caught

Lover got caught
Lover got caught
Lover got caught

Lover got caught in the rapture,
Vanished right, vanished right from your sight
Nobody saw nothin' faster,
They were right after all
Lover got caught up in the rapture,
Vanished right, vanished right
And if you weren't such a bastard,
You would be better off...

But now you're left to burn
Gnash your teeth
No time to pass or perceive

Lover got caught up in the rapture
Vanished right from your site
No Nobody saw nothin' faster
They were right, oh
A thief in the night!

If you weren't such a bastard
You would be better off

Now you're left to...


Sort of makes me think it is sort of an strangely updated version of Larry Norman's classic song from 1969 "I Wish We'd all been Ready".



I Wish We'd All Been Ready


Life was filled with guns and war,
And everyone got trampled on the floor,
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold,
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold,
I wish we'd all been ready,
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.


A man and wife asleep in bed,
She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone,
I wish we'd all be ready,
Two men walking up a hill,
One disappears and one's left standing still,
I wish we'd all been ready,
There's no time to change your mind,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.

Life was filled with guns and war,
And everyone got trampled on the floor,
I wish we'd all been ready,
Children died, the days grew cold,
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold,
I wish we'd all been ready,
There's no time to change your mind,
How could you have been so blind,
The Father spoke, the demons dined,
The Son has come and you've been left behind.
