Biografia:
Michael Trent currently functions as the front man and primary songwriter for rock band The Films. He is also 50 percent of the alt gospel/goth country duo Shovels and Rope, and maintains still enough material to have recorded two solo albums.
He bears the pop sensibility of the 60's British invasion, the sardonic wit of Elvis Costello, emotional poigniancy of Elliot Smith, and the Townes Van Zant- like turn of phrase. His lyrics are clever and biting, but can, in very few words, shatter the listeners heart

"Splintered Fence"
by Michael Trent
'The Winner'
C
C G
Your mouth, it is an ocean
F Am
But your eyes, they are a storm
C G
And though not a word's been spoken
F G C
I feel I have been warned
C G
For there's a cardinal in the dogwood
F Am
There's a raven in the air
C G
But this ballroom is full of vultures
F G C
Why would I ever meet you there
F C
That kind of laughter brings uneasiness
F C
Like teardrops on a summer dress
F C
Like that little lie you won't confess
G
Left a buzzin' in your spine
F C
So forgive me if my heads a mess
F C
Or if my cadence lacks some confidence
F C
I'm just leaning on that splintered fence
G C
Wondering what's on the other side
C G F Am
C G F G C
C G
So if the trumpets sound like trouble
F Am
And the cello sounds like tears
C G
Then why is everybody talking
F G C
With their fingers in their ears
C G
'Cause the drums are distant gunfire
F Am
And the voices shattered hearts
C G
But the harmony like honey
F G C
Sweetly binds us at the start
F C
That kind of laughter brings uneasiness
F C
Like teardrops on a summer dress
F C
Like that little lie you won't confess
G
Left a buzzin' in your spine
F C
So forgive me if my heads a mess
F C
Or if I'm just not making any sense
F C
I'm just climbing up that splintered fence
G Am F G
Tryin to get to the other side
Am F G C
To the other side
