Said the Whale’s “The Bones of Winter”

By Justin | January 3, 2009

Shivering, cold Cobblestone road Slipping on diamonds and silver A funeral for the leaves Eulogy in the breeze A hymn for the bones of winter The geese have already buried their heads And a full moon over mine tells me it’s time To start thinking about hibernation First snap in the night And the first [...]

Danny Michel’s “Tell Sally”

By Justin | December 29, 2008

This wonderful song is from Danny Michel’s latest album, Feather, Fur & Fin. The banjo and harmonica are placed just right to keep some motion in the song while also portraying the slowness and downbeat nature of the writer’s situation. My favorite line is the last one of the first verse, “I pace like a lion [...]

Chad VanGaalen’s “Bones of Man”

By Justin | December 26, 2008

I’m still trying to figure this one out. Despite my confusion, though, it’s still one badass tune. Flemish Eye is being mean and hasn’t made it available for purchase in the stateside version of the iTunes Store, but you can listen to it for free at CBC Radio 3. It was a beautiful night, yeah [...]

Jesse Matheson’s “Make Out”

By Justin | December 3, 2008

This song always makes me chuckle. Friday night, I’ve got nothing to do You wanna come over to my house? It’ll be just me and you And if you wanted to, we could make out Sit and watch a little TV Yeah, just you and me, you’re looking lovely But you’re sitting all the way [...]

Said the Whale’s “This City’s a Mess”

By Justin | November 30, 2008

I post these lyrics in honor of the freshly-fallen snow—our first of the season! You can find this lovely song—from Said the Whale’s latest album, Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia—on iTunes, or you can download it for free from the band’s website. While you’re there, you can also pick up two of their EPs for free. How [...]

Bass Lions’ “Funeral Shed”

By Justin | November 19, 2008

With the chance to have my take on these lyrics critiqued by the singer (I’m still not over how cool that is), how could I resist? This is another great song by Bass Lions. It’s called “Funeral Shed,” and it’s off of their EP, More Than Islands: Seven cousins all in a funeral shed (One, [...]

Malajube’s “Ton Plat Favori”

By Justin | October 31, 2008

Maybe listening to la musique québécoise is a good way to bone up on my lapsed French skills. Non t’as pas finis ton assiette Mais tu manges encore Tu manges mon coeur! Plus t’en manges plus tu payes Mon coeur est rempli de haine envers toi No, you haven’t finished your plate But you are still [...]

Notes to stave off much-needed sleep

By Justin | October 31, 2008

Every Thursday I put the trash and the recycling out to the curb, and every Friday I take it in. Some Fridays, though, I go out the door to find the recycling bin all the way up the stairs, and the trash barrel put back near the bottom of the steps, away from the curb. [...]

Cory Woodward’s “Slipping Away”

By Justin | October 25, 2008

It seems like my blog has become a lyrics site lately (albeit much more stylish, and with no blinking ads covering the screen). But I can’t help it: this music is just too good. Tonight, in lieu of working on my assignment that was supposed to be handed in yesterday, I’m posting Cory Woodward’s song [...]

Bass Lions’ “Ransom the Sunset”

By Justin | October 21, 2008

I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out the words to this song, and the online lyrics sites aren’t helping. One of them tried to tell me that “fragile at best” was supposed to be “fragile breasts.” Yup. Anyone want to help me out? The MP3 is available, for free, from the band. Well, I [...]
