inrever thank you GatH for the wonderful music <3 Favorite track: Do You Wrong.

Matthew For a random assortment of demos this is quite a substantial amount of great tracks. It's been years since these have been released so I don't know what their fate is but I hope that we get more polished versions of these songs someday. Favorite track: Do You Wrong.

Micah I adore gath. Meredith's music is So Beautiful. Every album has a different sound, every song is extremely personal. She has a Patreon, and i highly recommend committing to it. Favorite track: Right Medicine.

raik tatsadvivivevidiṣan Oh oh oh, raw GatH!

Shanna Really such a nice collection. Every song was enjoyable and I have listened to them over and over. Favorite track: Cut To Size.

Grant Evan Nordine Meredith Godreau is one of the greatest songwriters alive today. And I'm not saying that with a hint of irony and fully aware of who is currently writing. Her lyrics are stunning and original. Her thoughts are her own. Her music is beautiful simplicity. I always always always look forward to anything that Gregory and the Hawk releases. Favorite track: Heart Attack.

1.	Right Medicine 03:50	lyrics	buy track
I could kick it back on you Put a cork in your gun Make you wonder all summer Where the hell I was coming from But no matter the excuse It kills to be cut loose And all the days that follow They follow you Maybe you need the right medicine Gonna take it everyday Help you see the pretty colors Make you wanna stay Make you wanna stay Make you wanna stay Whenever you want Just call me up Make me blush and such Tell me I’ve waited long enough Whenever you want Just roll me in Tell me I can quit what I’ve been doing That I’m your right medicine You’re gonna take me everyday I help you see the pretty colors I make you wanna stay Make you wanna stay Make you wanna stay
2.	Heart Attack 03:19	lyrics	buy track
I wanna run but it aint that bad And a little bit of running won’t bring you back Don’t you think I know that All the girls I’ve been talking with Say I’m crazy in red lipstick Don’t you think I know that My aim is to please you I don’t wanna leave you And I never wanna see you alone If I wanna be treasured then I gotta find better Cause I never wanna stay at home Oh it’s such a drag To wait all day for a night so fast She’s better than all that Talking me in two like a heart attack You want me back Well all you gotta do is ask ask She’s better than all that You really gotta see her to understand
3.	Stay True 03:24	lyrics
Man oh man I want you In the city in the noise I’m waiting for you like a victim You carried me through Right to the end In the city in the noise I’m waiting for you like a victim Scuffing my shoes Trying to stay true Maybe I’ll be strong Noone promised it’d even last this long And maybe I’ll be fun Cause even when I’m drunk I feel too much Man oh man I want you Man oh man I want you Maybe I’ll be strong Someone show me where I belong Maybe I’ll stick to what’s been done Cause even when I’m drunk I feel too much Man oh man I want you In the city in the noise I’m waiting for you like a victim You carried me through Right to the end In the city in the noise I’m waiting for you like a victim Scuffing my shoes Hoping you’ll stay true
4.	You Read On 04:03	lyrics
You Read On By the flickering light til the break of dawn You Read On Back to the end start over again You Read On Finding meaning in the dumbest things You Read On Til even the beginning started to sting I don’t ever want to get back to the beginning with you I don’t ever want to have any little thing to owe you Like you do I don’t ever want to get back to the beginning with you Cause everybody starts with peace And everybody parts for reasons You led me on In your new apartment to new songs You led me on Let’s be friends it’s for the best You led me on Finding meaning in the dumbest things You led me on Til even the beginning started to sting I don’t ever want to get back to the beginning with you I don’t ever want to have any little thing to owe you Like you do I don’t ever want to get back to the beginning with you Cause everybody starts with peace And everybody parts for reasons
5.	Magnetic 03:25	lyrics
Should have taken what you said to me as truth But I kept trying A girl will do what’s she’s gotta do To get by I keep loving you everyday I keep calling you just to say I hope you’re feeling okay And move on from this Should have taken what you said to me as proof That you’re fire And I could never walk on you Only basking beside you Should have taken what you said to me as proof To wake up From loving you everyday I’d been calling you just to say I hope you’re feeling okay And move on from this Cause summer will end And the guys who brought you down will come back I’d never defend them No But you’re drawn to them Magnetic No room for crying cause you know I warned you No room for I’m fine cause you know you’re a fool Should have taken what you said to me as truth But I kept trying A girl will do what’s she’s gotta do To get by I keep loving you everyday I keep calling you just to say I hope you’re feeling okay And move on from this Cause summer will end And the guys who brought you down will come back I’d never defend them no But you’re drawn to them magnetic No room for crying cause you know I warned you No room for I’m fine cause you know you’re a fool
6.	Do You Wrong 03:07	lyrics	buy track
Could have been lost on a starry beach But instead I wait for you to say you’re sorry For the cool kindness you show me That kills me in your wildest dreams See I never wanna do you wrong Only wanna make you mine Treat you sweet as sunshine And keep you on my mind Could have been lost on a mountaintop But instead you stole the glory from the pines With your sparkly hair and your homesick talk Tell me where tell me when tell me why All this danger did you wrong Cause I only wanna make you mine Treat you sweet as sunshine And keep you on my mind To tell the truth I’m on to you And I haven’t been feeling so well But noone can be sick of what they haven’t been told yet So I’ll tell you I wanna know you when your consciousness fades Give you gazes, not enough to give us away If I’m lonely then I might as well say Keep it coming Keep it coming Keep it coming Cause I’ll never do you wrong I only wanna make you mine Treat you sweet as sunshine Treat you sweet as sunshine Sweet as sunshine Till you’re staying on my mind
7.	Cut To Size 05:42	lyrics	buy track
Now that I’m drowning Now that I’m melting You just walk on by The calm in your eyes says You’re not in crisis Can’t tell the water’s high Which I find So hard to believe Someone is speaking I wish they’d let me be While I watch you walk away from me You move with a purpose Cherry and turquoise Follow me Behind the curtain Of our real lives And I’ll set you free Which you find So hard to believe Someone is speaking I wish they’d let me be While I watch you drift away from me
