Hey Rosetta - Old Crow Black Night Stand Still (live at the Horseshoe Tavern)
Newfoundland and Labrador’s submission to the Great Canadian Song Quest album, about Gros Morne National Park.
I was at this show last night:)
fuuuuuuuuuuuck.
I speak to these people, and I speak to you because I cannot help it. It gives me strength, almost unbelievable strength, to know that you are there. I covet your eyes, your ears, the collapsible space between us. How blessed are we to have each other? I am alive and you are alive so we must fill the air with our words. I will fill today, tomorrow, every day until I am taken back to God. I will tell stories to people who will listen and to people who don’t want to listen, to people who seek me out and to those who run. All the while I will know that you are there. How can I pretend that you do not exist? It would be almost as impossible as you pretending that I do not exist.
land of talk, it’s ok
I’ll never tell you, but you’re my little scar
Goodbyes are hard and they’re hard and they’re hard

band (and video) of the weekend.
(it’s not ok but let’s pretend it is).
We’re best at the long high throws. Like when you take four or five steps and rip it— It’s almost like a shotput approach, the steps, four or five quick, one over the other, kind of sideways-like—and then you slash away with that fucker, it’s such a violent act, throwing that white thing, you’re first cradling it to your breast and then you whip that fucker as hard as you can while keeping it level, keeping it straight, but otherwise with everything you can send with it you whip that fucker like it had blades on it and you wanted it to cut straight through the paperblue sky like a screen, rip through it and have it be blood and back space beyond.
