about
Wisconsin winters often make people a little crazy. The combination of cabin fever and low sunlight usually makes Jesús Villa restless. But new single – "Hibernation" – offers a different perspective, celebrating the opportunity of a much-needed break.
Over acoustic guitars, a simple keyboard pad, and quiet and steady percussion, Jesús muses about "hiding out, taking a little staycation", noting that he "ain't got to do nothing but just get through" the winter. On the chorus, he invites the listener to join him ("Come inside, I'll make some room"), with his daughter Maria providing a gorgeous harmony.
lyrics
I've been thinking about hibernation
Hiding out, taking a little staycation
Catching up on reading and meditation
Turtles, bats, and grizzly bears, they all do it
They look out at the ice and snow and just say screw it
Ain't got to do nothing but just get through it
You can join me if you want to
Come inside, I'll make some room
Light the fireplace, watch it burn
We don't have to go out 'til the sun returns
I look back at the calendar, I want to burn it
Each lesson this year taught me, I think I learned it
Now it's time to take a break, I think I earned it
So sorry if I cancel plans or keep you waiting
My friends I'm not avoiding you, I'm hibernating
I made up my cocoon, I'm recombobulating
You can join me if you want to
Come inside, I'll make some room
Light the fireplace, watch it burn
We don't have to go out 'til the sun returns
Yeah lately I've been thinking about hibernation
'Cause lately I have been without much motivation
I need to find some quiet to find some inspiration
A little hibernation
