Song Backstory: The Corner Sidewalk Café
Songs by Martie Hevia
“The Corner Sidewalk Café” is a song I wrote a long time ago, initially inspired by one particular café, but becoming an amalgamation of all the cafés in my life that I have made my own.
The café that initially inspired this song was a funky, artsy, café that displayed the art of local artists and had a small stage upon which local musicians and singer-songwriters would play. The overstuffed couches, the whimsically painted chairs and tables with sneakers and drawn chess boards, were among the many things that welcomed you with a smile.
It was a wonderful place to get lost in yourself, in others, in art, in music, and in good coffee and pastries. It was a place to go to be sad, or to be happy, to be alone, or to be with others.
No doubt you have one of those cafés, as well.
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the song. -Martie
