about

was thinking about a character that just got everything done, had a crazy life but never let it slow him down... this is the story of Doable

lyrics

If Doable was a person he'd always be getting things done
he could drive all night on a couple cups of coffee
he could cut the lawn with his hands
he could make everyone supper without cooking a god damned thing
He had some kind of knack for all of that
he had a voice and boy could he sing

He's always getting things done
My how he always seems to be
No Pressure when the pressure's on
Doable
Doable's doing something again

His dad came down from Kentucky
and his mother came from Tennessee
They moved out to Skagit Valley and raised old Doable free
He might have not been clothed for his first seven years
He's got a closet full of memories in a mason jar of tears

Who just put this monster in my sleep
why would they do that and why would they just walk away from
Everything I'm seeing in the air
cover me I'm going in it really doesn't seem fair

about

Shelk Seattle, Washington

Hi I am Robb Benson and I started SHELK as a potential future band back in 2013. Released a full album that year on CD then many digital only basement releases have followed. Eventually became Stereo Embers but that is more of a rock and roll outfit and SHELK is now the solo indie side project (with friends at times) These basement demos are the seeds I release each year. Thanks for listening! ... more
