Songfacts®:

  • Hawk is lead by the conceptual artist David Hawkins and includes Gary Louris of The Jayhawks and Ken Stringfellow of The Posies. Hawkins explained: "This is a song about unrequited love in too-close quarters, and of the awkward moments and frustration that goes with it. Imagine that feeling of still being in love with someone but they've moved on. But now imagine they still live right upstairs. That's what I imagined when I was writing this song. It's a gut-wrenching realist take on love. We all know love is never easy; but it's never harder than when you're in it alone."
