He Sends His Regards

from She'll Go Out Walking In The Rain by Ben Calvert

about

On a morning of all weathers, I watched two friends recreate a performance from 20 years earlier. As I did, a man with a camera came to deliver me a message: 'Martin Hunt sends his regards.'

lyrics

I’m on a disused tennis court, late morning
Rachel and Drew, hardly dressed, take a meal
It’s all white and sunshine and rain and wind
Twenty years into the future.

Behind me where concrete steps should be
He walks through automatic doors with a clunk, silently.

He takes some snaps, his frame is in my focus
A face it has changed
Remembering him young, I remember his name
A face it has changed.

Looking at my eyes, my chest, feet, then nowhere
He says to me:

“Martin Hunt sends his regards.”
Oh, he sends his regards?
From just outside of London to this country estate,
Martin Hunt, he sends his regards.

Old friends. Old friends.

Martin Hunt sends his regards
Oh, he sends his fucking regards
After thirteen years of silence and probes sent to Mars
Martin Hunt finally sends his regards.
