Every week, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 37-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
Held
You’d be surprised
Alright
Where you could be held
There
Pinned in an updraft
Back against the cloud
Holding siren’s rage
On a tangle pain
You didn’t know was there
You didn’t know it was there
Grid work set up
For your wing-on rise
To a place
Where you will be held
Back against the light
Hammer on
“Held” from Dovetail (K, 1992) (download):
