Hemlock Tears
Hemlock Tears is the songwriting project of David Goulden. I write from the small moments, not the big ones.
The songs usually begin as scenes: a room, a street corner, a thought you can’t quite shake. They’re built from concrete details, and bloom into what might have been.
Hemlock Tears is ongoing. Each release is tied to a specific time and place where something shifted.
