Ocean Song
You have an ocean in there, you-you have an ocean in there
you have an o-ocean in there, you-you have an ocean in there
you have an o-o, you have an ocean in there x2
You have an ocean in there. Did you know, were you aware?
An ocean teaming with life and mystery
I see - I - I see it
Gleaming with the light of ancient suns
Fathoms that I have only just begun to explore
The more I see, the more I want to swim
To dive into the depths of you, your waves of blue I’m sink - I’m sinking
I’m sinking in and I’m going down
Abandon air
Please let me drown please let drown drown
I’m sinking in and I’m going down
Abandon air
Please let me drown drown
I’m sinking in
Yes, behind your eyes lies an ocean, always in motion
Storms breath and sigh, mist crawls, gulls cry above those waters
Did you know that all of this is held in you?
A restless dream in green and grey and blue
Beneath these waves what treasures lay among the wreck of ships that came before
Crashed, on shores of caves and sand
Of cliffs and more commanding landscapes
Could I begin to know? Would you show me?
Should I brave these waves?
For this ship is good but this wood on which I stand is fragile
Glass really, or might as well be
But I can and will if you stand there telling me its worth it
So I admit that I sit with you and imagine
If I put you to my ear I’ll hear the ocean
To my cheek I’ll feel the cold
To my lips I’ll taste the salt and exalt in what I find
Yes, behind your eyes lies an ocean
You have an ocean in there.....
I'm sinking in.....

Rising

I am turning, no I’m not facing
I won’t entertain these pointless conversations
All my worries and my fears of when these allies disappear
Are no longer strong enough to keep me here
I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong
C: Turn around to face the west
The moon is rising in my chest
And when the light is all but gone
I’ll turn my back on all the rest
I am walking, no I’m not waiting
I am finished with this endless hesitating
Tired of leaving it too late, by the time I’ve made my case
The moss has grown over the stone, all the marks have been erased
I am gone, I am gone, I am gone
C:
I am finished, no I don’t owe you
Any leeway, any time or any patience
Is this not what you expected when all the pretty birds had flown
No sense waiting till tomorrow I can do this on my own
I am done, I am done, I am done
C:
I am rising, I’m expanding
I will sink into the earth on which I’m standing
With my feet firm on the ground taking all the space around
My voice stealing up the sound
Once lost but now I’m found
I’ll move on, I’ll move on, I’ll move on
C:

White Moth
03:40

When I die I think I would like to come back
As a white moth on the wing
As I flutter by at dusk they will say
What a beautiful, delicate thing
Plain but beautiful, beautiful in my own right
My wings they will glow like stars in the night
When I die I think I would like to come back
As a silver fish in the brook
I’ll float through the current and into the deep
Forward with no second look
Silent and beautiful, beautiful and cold
My scales they will shine bright like treasures untold
When I die I think I would like to come back
As a red fox in the wood
I’ll run through the deadfall and lay down to rest
In the roots where an ancient tree stood
Wild and beautiful teeth sharp as a wire
My fur will glint red like the coals of a fire
When I die I think I would like to come back
As a crow feathers black as the night
Nothing to keep me held down to the ground
Deliverance given in flight
Free and beautiful no more shall I cry
The earthly fears that haunt me here will fade as I fly

Now I Go
04:57

Now I go, now I go, tread carefully
Now I go from this place to somewhere I’m free
Less tension no mention and here I am free
And there you are frozen the person you’ll be
What a pity it is to stay grounded
In a place that you never could grow
What a pity but oh where I’ve landed
I know things that you never will know
Now I go, now I go, tread carefully
Now I go from this place to somewhere I’m free
Less tension no mention and here I am free
And there you are frozen the person you’ll be
What a pity it is not to wander
To the places you never have known
What a pity the ground that I’ve covered
I have hurt but oh how I’ve grown
Now I float above water 10 thousand feet deep
Crawled up from the ocean
And never grew weak
And though I can’t swim
The earth holds me still
A promise to fill the bottom of your ship
Now I go, now I go I’m on my way
Now I go, now I go and I know you’ll stay
With what you’ve created
This reckless decay
You’ll be here tomorrow but I’m on my way
What a privilege it is to stay shrouded
In this comforting veil that you sew
Save your pity for what you’ve collected
All the nothing that you’ve got to show
What a pity it is to stay grounded
In a place that you never could grow
What a pity but oh where I’ve landed
I know things that you never will know

Dumpster Cub Saint John, New Brunswick
Dumpster Cub began when two scrappy pals got tired of playing folk music, found just enough money to buy a groove box and discovered a love for pushing buttons! These cubs deliver lively folk-inspired vocals over rhythmic synth sounds. Their haunting harmonies will hypnotise to groovy beats while the cello hums underneath. ... more
