Lyrical Themes

Hear, Hear. uses poetry and writings from various artists: One is based upon Tom Robbins' Still Life with Woodpecker.[2][3] Two is lyrics from the poem "somewhere i have never traveled" by E. E. Cummings.[2] Three is based upon Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Annabel Lee".[2][3] While Four is based upon an Asian myth, and the lyrics are amalgamations of different versions on the story.[2] This story is the ground work for the lyrical theme of their debut album Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair.[3]
