Aaron Jaxon performs his original song "I'll Be Gone For A While" live at Little Chicago on August 27, 2018. The song uses imagery of Goliath and lions to explore temporary departure and separation, mixing spoken commentary with melody in an intimate, melancholic performance.
Original song here. Feel free to sing along if you've heard this one before. This is called I'll Be Gone for a While. Hope you dig it. Sometimes I feel like Goliath, ego bigger than skin. So lay me down with the lions in heaven, though not in the den. Go take a note, get a vapor, make a bloody hand or eye. I left a note on your table saying I'll be gone for a while. So I'll be gone for a while. I'll be gone for a while. Remove the light from your window, baby. Now I'll be gone for a while. So I'll be gone for a while. I'll be gone for a little while. But I'm gonna ring your bell. Now I'm gonna phone my best of friends. So I'll be gone for a while. But I'll be gone for a while. Remove the light from your window, baby. And I'll be gone for a while. So I'll be gone for a while. I'll be gone for a while. Remove the light from your window, baby. And I'll be gone for a while. So I'll be gone for a while. I'll be gone for a while. Remove the light from your window, baby. And I'll be gone for a while.
