about

Recorded live at Flash Recording, Vancouver BC in November 2022.

lyrics

Sunsets glowing off the windows of condos
As we drive into downtown
My father always likes to share which buildings were right there
When he was growing up

Those warehouses still standing but just barely holding on
Weren’t breweries or slated for the wrecking ball

My mother tells me that my childhood home
Has aged but 90 years
Built from solid wood of ancient trees that used to
Stand right here

I listen to the cars on the road
Like they’re the river running past my house
The one that my grandmother once played upon
The one that flows in pipes beneath the ground

The world I look at now made of concrete and glass
Seems so set in stone as if it’s all we have

Once a year I walk out on the bridge
To look at the city’s towers
Skyscrapers triangulated by the railroad
And buildings following an ancient shore

A landscape carved, in part, by a history older than time
And one that is too recent to permit its lies
