THE PLYWOOD SONG

lyrics

we're searching out for mother for brother baby boy
the lake has overflowed and protesters are annoyed
now who are all these people i've never seen before
its like we're lost together circling the shore
my daughters on my shoulders she is manning her post
on the lookout for them from prairies to the coast
but all she sees are strangers she tells me when i ask
if she sees our loved ones so we start heading back
oh my god this week has been
filled with levels of rain that i've never seen
oh my god this week has been
a crazy one i think we'll soon all be swimming
...
we left the crowd and now just see strangers one by one
nods hello and small talk about what the rain has done
we try to be polite but by the third block we're done
we turn our lazy walk we're in into a full on run
a block or two away from our home we stop to rest
we dont run very often and we're both out of breath
but now we see our house there's only a few more steps
and mom and baby boy are sitting on the front steps
oh my god this week has been
filled with levels of rain that i've never seen
oh my god this week has been
a crazy one i think we'll soon all be swimming
...
a block or two away from our home we stop to rest
we dont run very often and we're both out of breath
but now we see our house there's only a few more steps
and mom and baby boy are sitting on the front steps
oh this rain that i have never seen
i think we'll soon all be swimming
...

the Lambta Da's regina, Saskatchewan

The music's expression is paradoxically less solar and extraverted than the character of the seasons would lead us to believe. More than strength or richness there is an intensity, a sensation replete with freshness and firmness, which is remarkable. This deep and confident presence that persists over time becomes the memory of the music, possibly for always. ... more
