The Innocence Mission - Evensong (HQ + Lyrics)

[@lblack1961]

There are no words for how beautiful this song is. I was blessed to have seen this band back in the 90s in a bar. The bar was a dive, painted black to hide all the imperfections, and normally it was a place for drinking, fighting, hard dancing, etc. But that night, this band transformed the space, by their music, their sentiment, and the spirituality that filled their lives. I felt like was transported to another world that night. Wonderful memory.

[@keithbate9405]

Linda B the power of music was in Keren and Innocence Mission. It entered that bar on that evening .

[@SysPoppy]

so was I :) I saaw them in a small bar. and they owned everything.

[@wmp3346]

Awesome - what town?

[@KaraFrances-il8mi]

It's stunning

[@tmctrockband]

"We accept the love we think we deserve" Its tragic this isnt on spotify.

[@elizabethlux1]

I love this song, it gives me a lot of emotions, i feel sad, i feel nostalgia, i feel like i want to cry, but i still love this song with all my heart and its my favorite from The Perks

[@andrewgilbert8944]

Candelaria Martinez oh the beauty ! so stirring.

[@DaStoneboat]

I think we can love the sadness and tears and later joy can dance them away, even keep them safe.

[@rosieblanco2792]

I cannot stop listening to this song: it' s haunting me... Perfect lyrics, perfect melody, perfect voice...

[@keithbate9405]

Rosie Blanco It is wonderful but there are others eg "someday coming" , "the lakes of Canada" to name just two ! Should have been as popular as 10 000 Maniacs/Natalie merchant.

[@rosieblanco2792]

thank you!! I' ll check them out :)

[@keithbate9405]

Rosie Blanco Wow quick reply ! Lucky you that you have not heard of them. of course "old music now" if you wish to hear what I am enjoying now then try the following three songs by three different artists' 1) First Aid Kit (Sweden) " A long time ago" (2014) Klara sings this wonderful song beautifully.. Always brings a tear to my eye. 2) Agnes Obel (Denmark) "just so" I cannot stop whistling this as I walk around the Super market. Short but sweet and very catchy ! 3) London Grammar (UK) "if you wait" (2013) to be honest I could have picked around 6/7 tracks for this group. For me "The Innocence Mission de jour" different genre less folky more pop/trip hop. But Hannah has something in common with Keren both wonderful singers. happy listening !!

[@SaintForeverBlue]

Muy haunting. Could it be about letting go? The day is over. hmmm. Reflective and so different than When Mac Was Swimming. So many songs so little time!!

Anyone who listens to the Innocence Mission knows that Karen Peris is one of the greatest, most underrated songwriters of all time. Her lyrics stand on their own. I have wondered if this song is about Mother Mary... because the IM are Catholic, and back then, their songs were more openly religious. Or it could be about her own mother. She's written other beautiful songs about her mother, too. This is a very precious band!

[@morgan300c]

Amazing, beautiful. Most underrated band of all time.

[@josealfonso1720]

I remember walking home after resigning from my previous job I dedicated 3 years of my life to. I was listening to this, it was probably the best decision I had ever made. It was cold raining that night as well.

[@rachelturner9839]

why isn’t this on spotify 🥺

[@AaronEdwards]

I literally check every week hoping they put Umbrella on Spotify. Such an amazing album.

[@tmctrockband]

Literally here for the same reason ❤❤

[@brokentypewriter7052]

The day is over And still goes passing through the mind In came glowing, smiling mother, sure and kind To rouse us To give ourselves out and to cry Birth to warm intentions, worthless otherwise _How can one verse be so absolutely beautiful!_

[@CliveBorgComposer]

Wow, what poetic lyrics! Thanks for sharing.

[@Stargeek2006]

This song shoots me back to high school in a way I didn’t expect when I first heard this song. It’s fucking surreal man

Uma das melhores músicas que eu tenho o prazer de escutar e não enjoar..

[@poyam615]

The song makes me nostalgic for some reason! Beautiful voice and lyrics.

[@jhoscelinnesramirez]

The day is over and still so heavy on the mind In flew glowing, smiling mother, butterfly in yellow To join the frowning cactus crowd Finding flowers even there to flutter round I thought, isn't mother grand? The way she flies and flies Into the sting of the cold and the prick of the barbed wire Isn't mother grand to gladly fly and swiftly fly Into the sting of the cold and the prick of the barbed wire The day is over and still goes passing through the mind: In came glowing, smiling mother, sure and kind To rouse us, to give ourselves out and to cry Birth to warm intentions, worthless otherwise Oh, the lives that brush against us, pass us by and by The friends who may or may not come if we would first invite Oh, to open doors, to always gladly fly and fly Into the sting of the cold and the prick of the barded wire

[@kevinhodge2157]

Love this song so much! So glad I have this album on vinyl.

[@patdel12]

I feel like the song is about the singer after a funeral, and how her mother was a shinning light through it all

[@robglen75]

"Into the sting of the cold and the prick of the barbed wire" you can't get any better than that!

[@riddhimandal8642]

Someday, I'm going to be sitting at some vintage-styled bar wearing a long black backless dress, being independent and completely on my own. I'll look to my right and watch the city lights dazzle through the huge glass wall while the low-key old-school band will continue to play slow, blurry music.

[@pinetree4212]

Does anyone want to go on a road trip with me to the Pacific Northwest and I’ll blast this song on the highway surrounded by tress?✨ 🌲

[@lisacolbert5987]

Beginning reminded me of Martha Wainwright-When The Day Is Short

[@anacristyvm]

I wonder about its meaning. As a new mother my interpretation is quite literal. I am Mother Butterfly and I would smile and gladly fly through barbed wire for my child any day. I will find the nurture and beauty in life like those flowers in the cactus, for my child. I dedicate him this song. Gives me so many feelings I'm sure I will get back when I hear it in the future and remember his baby days when I played it to soothe him...

[@electronbluepearl8591]

Not sure of the meaning, but I always had the sense that it was about a mother comforting a child after a nightmare. It's an incredibly beautiful song, whatever the meaning.

[@hannahmartha1]

It is about mother nature.
