about

On December 2, 2020 Hawksley released 2 new versions of his hit song "Smoke Baby", to celebrate the album Lover/Fighter's gold record in Canada.

"Sometimes it's fun to revisit songs, to reframe them and dress them up in different clothes. Smoke Baby was written with legendary writer/producer Doc McKinney (The Weeknd/Esthero). It was one of those songs that just wanted to be born. Effortless. It's still a fan favourite and makes its way into almost every show. In these two versions I reframe the song in two of my most cherished idioms... singer/songwriter folk and goth rock."

lyrics

In your underclothes
You went out for a smoke
I call you in
Just before the storm begins
Your last breath of smoke
You let out in the room
It makes a cloud
Like the greyist
Perfect plume

Smoke baby, smoke baby
More alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal
And back out on a plane baby
An early flight will leave
And on it will be me
I’ll be half asleep
And you’ll get up at three

Casual as a light
Flickers before it’s night
Sadness comes
And the daylight turns and runs
As the sun is setting you’ll be betting
I’ll be getting through
I’ll find a payphone baby
And take a minute to talk to you

And I have never felt
Quite this close to hell
All this rock and roll baby
Only time will tell
But we’re young now, Having fun now
On the town now, Get around now
It’s fine for now
But someday we’ll settle down
But not now.

Smoke baby.

Who’ll give you time to cry?
And time to find yourself?
