Hey Jen

Austin based band, My Life Among The Cannibals, recently released their new single, Hey Jen, from their upcoming EP, tentatively titled Exile on Pain Street, slated for release in Autumn 2024.

The story behind the Hey Jen is that I have a friend who works in a business, and I noticed that mutual friends were treating her poorly and taking her for granted. I wanted to write something in appreciation of all the things she does and is about.

-singer/songwriter Timothy Abbott

Hey Jen Lyrics

Hey Jen by My Life Among The Cannibals

Hey Jen

Thanks for all you do

Laboring away so thorough…

You keep the lights on

You keep the show running

If not for you

this would be no fun at all

Hey Jen

You really do believe 

when at times I confess my Faith does waver…

You always cheer me up

when I’m down on my luck

and I can’t thank you … ever enough

[Chorus]

Jen you are so loyal to the situation

it touches me to the core

I know some days you ache inside

and hope for so much more

Hey Jen

Everything is broken

without you to patch it up, my dear sister…

Not enough duct tape in the world

to replace what you stick together

[Chorus]

You are so loyal to the situation

it touches me to the core

It’s my sentimental education

I forgot about so long ago

[bridge]

Sometimes you may think no one notices

all the little things you do

You juggle the 10 worlds on your shoulders

and we all need to tell you [ break ]

we love you…[ “and thank you!” , shouted in background]

~~~solo over verse~~~

~~Chorus~~

Yes, you are so loyal to the situation

it touches me to the core

You make this place so much better

than it was before…

Hey Jen

Hey Jen

Hey Jen

Hey Jen

My Life Among The Cannibals

Hailing from the heart of Austin’s vibrant music scene, My Life Among The Cannibals delivers a sound as unique as their name. Fronted by the powerful vocals of Timothy Abbott, the band weaves a tapestry of musical influences that defies easy categorization.

Max Murphy conjures electrifying riffs on guitar, while the rhythm section of Jason Toll on drums and Leonard Ashcraft on bass lays down a groove that’s both infectious and tight. Adding another layer of sonic exploration, Jimmy George lends his talents not only to backing vocals but also to the piano, further enriching the band’s sonic palette.

The magic, however, doesn’t stop at performance. My Life Among The Cannibals takes complete creative control, with Jimmy George handling the recording, mixing, and mastering duties at The Roost Studio in Manchaca, TX. This DIY spirit ensures their sound is a true reflection of their artistic vision.
