    About Motel Blues:

    “Motel Blues” is the new EP from singer-songwriter/actor Ella Hunt’s upcoming EP of the same name releasing September 12th from Historical Fiction Records. The second in her three part “Triptych” series of EPs, the vignettes present a larger portrait of the foundations of her musical landscape. “Motel Blues” highlights three songs, “Motel Blues”, “Reciprocity”, and “When You Leave” written by Loudon Wainwright III that shaped the songwriter in her formative years. Reflecting on their influence she says, “I still remember the first time I heard Motel Blues. I was 14, it was the first Loudon song I ever heard. The un-fussy-ness of the lyrics, their humour, clarity and humanity was so striking. I don’t think I’d ever heard such lonely words but I felt so held by the humanity of them."

lyrics

They got drunk last night
At a knockdown, drag out fight
She was determined and he saw it his way
He threw a tantrum and she threw an ashtray
They got drunk last night

How's this for a "How do you do?"
He's unfaithful, she's untrue
They're their own masters and they're their own bosses
They reserve the right to employ double crosses
How's this for a fine "How do you do?"

You'd need a chair and a whip
To control their relationship
Once they were lovers and practically best friends
Now he's into bondage and she's into revenge
You'd need a chair and a whip

And if one of them should die
I suppose that the other would cry
There would be tears of sorrow and great grief
Or else there would be tears of release and relief
If one of them should die
