Watchhouse - "The Wolves" (Live)

[@GregCombs100]

Two types of of people in the world. Those who love these guys, and those who haven’t heard them yet. Just saw them in LA at Ace Theater. Incredible.

As a neighbor to the north,(Canadian), this song, and this performance of it moves me to tears. You folks are so talented, moreso gifted as musician healers. I hold you and your oh so hurting nation in my heart. Please Andrew and Emily, stay well and stay safely courageous.

[@richardsiegler8456]

Michael Wattie..neighbor to the North. Canada was my second home, I lived there and owned property among the shores of Lake of the Woods. My heart and Spirit kin to the native Cree. I thank you for your concern for the people of the US, but do not think that what’s happening here is confined within our borders.Your land and people I too so love are more endangered then we here. For you have been disarmed and so fewer willing or able to take up the fight... to me their music is a soothing Baum upon the wounds within my heart for both our lands and it’s people. Take care my brother.

The lyrics to this song are just absolutely perfect for our day and age.

"At my gate I'll always greet you At my door you're welcome in There can be no transgression As a means to an end On the wind the wolves are howling Open arms are closed in fear Helping hands are clenched in anger Broken hearts beyond repair Everything's so great can't get better, makes me wanna cry That I'll go out howling at the moon tonight There she stands, so tall and mighty With her keen and watchful eye And the heart of a mother Holding out her guiding light It's a hard road to travel Solid rock from end to end The sun, it rises on her brow And sets upon the great expanse Everything's so great can't get better, makes me wanna cry But I'll go out howling at the moon tonight There she stands, so tall and mighty Her gaze facing the east At her back our doors are closing As we grin and bare our teeth On the wind the wolves are howling She cries to draw 'em near Turn around, turn around my darling No, the wolves are here Everything's so great can't get better, makes me wanna cry But I'll go out howling at the moon tonight Yeah I'll go out howling at the moon tonight"

[@hardinmichael1981]

I think the last verse ends in "KNOW the wolves are here" given the context. But thanks regardless.

[@pajiad191]

@@hardinmichael1981 I believe after some reflection that it is No, the wolves are here. The reason why is because in the final stanza the narrator is speaking directly to Lady Liberty. He says she faces east while behind her, we close our doors and bare our teeth. Lady Liberty seems to be beckoning to the Wolves and the narrator asks her to turn around. To fast west rather than East. To turn back towards the closing door but she refuses. She declines his invitation of "turn around my darling" telling him "no, the wolves are here" as if to say that the idea of Liberty and freedom is most important when the wolves are at the proverbial door.

A really subtle way to comment on the closed door policy of those who are descended from ones that a few generations ago were welcomed.
