Every Time

Hoku · Another Dumb Blonde [2000]

I don't believe in true love

I am alone by nature

I did not want to let you in(noo)

So why does it feel so classic

Like some romantic story

Now that you're underneath my skin.

Every time I speak

I speak to you

Every time I reach

I reach out for you baby

Every time I breath

I feel your heart beating next to mine

Is it real

What I feel

This time?

I am distracted often

Running to meet you somewhere

Hoping the flowers never die

And then you leave me breathless

Rushing to look in the mirror

Surprized to see the face is mine

So what is wrong with me?

I know I should be happy

I don't feel right in my own skin

I'm just waiting for this whole damn thing to end

All I can think about

Is how I can just get out

Love is maddening

Love is maddening

Every Time - Hoku

Hoku's "Every Time" stands as a defining track from the album "Another Dumb Blonde," released in 2000. The song exemplifies the artist's signature blend of indie pop and electronic experimentation, characterized by its driving rhythms and introspective lyrics. Released during a pivotal era for alternative music, the recording captures the raw energy and melodic sensibilities that would become central to Hoku's discography. The track reflects the broader cultural shift toward lo-fi aesthetics and bedroom pop production that began to emerge in the late nineties and early two thousands. As part of the album's cohesive narrative, "Every Time" showcases the artist's ability to craft memorable hooks while maintaining a distinct, slightly melancholic atmosphere that resonates with listeners seeking authentic indie expression.
