“Hemlock Blues” by Divining Rod – A Song Review

     Miyuki Furtado is scattered, but in a positive sense. Instrumentally, his contributions to a track, such as “Hemlock Blues,” are varied. Geographically, Furtado was born in Hawaii, but now resides in New York. In terms of genre, he has a Post-Punk background (with The Roger Sisters), but has joined forces with Patrick Harmon as Divining Rod, a Folk-infused Psych Rock band.

     Listening to the two tracks released by Divining Rod earlier this year, a common trait is the ability to finish strong. In “Hemlock Blues,” the vocals dropout at 3:23, permitting a focus on the guitar skills of the members.

Lyrics of “Hemlock Blues” by Divining Rod
Hemlock hanging on my door
Don’t know what it means to me
Haven’t seen it there before
No, no, no

People walking down my street
Don’t know who they’re going to meet
Don’t know if they know
Don’t know if they know
If they’re all diseased

Strangers knocking on my door
Don’t know what they want from me
Don’t know what they’re waiting for
No, no, no

Keep the world at bay
Don’t know if I’ll be okay
Don’t know if they know
Don’t know if they know
If they’re all diseased
