about

Fittingly recorded during a blizzard in Hamilton, ON February 2015.

lyrics

A near-silent world in a blanket of Winter.
Skeleton hands reaching out from it, skyward.
And I'm a storm unto myself, now which way is forward?
Double-knit scarves catch the beads of my laughter.

Tripping over the snow. (Snow!)
Trying to catch up with my feet. (Oh no!)
One step ahead of sleep
Full of merlot...(Low low low)

Ankle Deep, the wind on my cheek
All that exist are this blizzard and me
Ankle Deep, bittersweet
Closing my eyes, I cannot compete.

I fall up the stairs, climb into bed
Hide myself under the sheets
I creep like a spider, avoiding the light,
Becoming a shadow of me...

The streetlights are dimming
The blizzard is winning!
Oh, sweet wine! The hour so late
You know, nights like this remind me
Why it's so hard to find me, why
I always get carried away!

Tripping over the snow. (Snow!)
Trying to catch up with my feet. (Oh no!)
One step ahead of sleep
Full of merlot...(Low low low)

Ankle Deep, the wind on my cheek
All that exist are this blizzard and me
Ankle Deep, bittersweet
Closing my eyes, I cannot compete.

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
