Lyrics:
It was getting late
you were afraid of yourself
Afraid that you might call her
that you could not help yourself
And what could I say?
It lived in you all day.
I watched her in your eyes, and
move across your face
like the wind on the water
I tried to tell you.
That is the way that you want her
I tried to tell you
You were so afraid to try and pull apart
the endless rain you thought of as your heart
With blood on your hands from the river inside
you try to deny it, you never felt the tide
of the moon pulling closer
I tried to tell you
That is the way that you want her
I tried to tell you
Like the wind on the water
I will not help you not to feel
to tell yourself it was not real
and only fools believe
This is what the songs are for
this is the dirt beneath the floor
I cannot sell you on your own need
But some days there might be nothing you encounter
to stand behind the fragile idea that
anything matters
I'll feel as useless as a tree in a city park
standing as a symbol of what we have blown apart You know you break what you treasure
I tried to tell you
And no it cannot be measured
I tried to tell you
Would it kill you to believe in your pleasure?
I tried to tell you

To stand behind the fragile idea that anything matters...

[@geoffreybetts1591]

I am 68 and the last time I looked forward to the release of an album this much was Floyd's DSOTM. This band are so good I weep in disbelief

[@martinpowell5769]

Really!!

[@justinprice8911]

"I'll feel as useless As a tree in a city park Standing as a symbol of What we have blown apart" Oof, right in the feels

[@zahidimam5082]

Something about this. Came back to watch this 5 times now.

[@kylesamejima]

Same here.

[@csarg6084]

I have listened to this song like a hundred times over the last weeks

[@Robil63]

Calming, soothing yet rocky, drivey.. awesome, touching lyrics. They just took the phrase "jump in the lake" to another difficulty level.. jump in the lake wearing a mirror suit!

[@currencyofgrace]

I was stopped in my tracks by this today. Such a beautiful song. The Weather Station does it again.

[@calebdrew5684]

Heard on CBC Radio on the way to work one morning when I was feeling sad and didn't know why. Something about her voice told me it was okay to feel whatever I was feeling. Turned my day around, I'm grateful. I recommend this song all the time now.

[@paulmcdonald9592]

So original.

[@benoitguillet9169]

What a masterpiece. Song of the year so far.

[@tamihenderson4601]

I liked the forestry music. Thanks

[@robwilcox302]

I love this video and this song... choose happiness, choose what's real over what's virtual, embrace the beauty around you.

[@Catatonic2789]

Choosing happiness and choosing what's real feel mutually exclusive sometimes...

[@MiddleDistanceBarrel]

Extraordinary beautiful.

[@thomasmarvin2463]

I am so happy that she is much more forward in the mix. She is a brilliant writer, lets hear those words! She and Basia are the comforting soundtrack to this damn pandemic.

[@bigpine669]

This is a very underated comment - definitely the best mix.

[@kartiksharma3011]

Wow wow 😍

[@PhoenixFeathers]

Such an eighties sound but current and timeless... lyrics are so unique too... musical genius here!

[@jakehopgood7446]

dizzyingly extraordinary are/is/was/shall ever be The Weather Station

[@Cquinncer]

The middle-eight vocal on this is glorious. Such a fantastic album.

[@paulsnyder5520]

Chills!!!

[@kalea1468]

such amazing lyrics 🙏🏻 thank you for this beautiful song

[@willshogren1987]

Gorgeous.

[@letmetellyousomething123]

I have deliberately stopped playing the album because I didn't want to tire of it. I want to return to it and savour it the way I left it two weeks ago and just savour it again...and so on. Some albums invite you in and envelope you and they're the ones that make a place in your soul. Kate Bush's hounds of love is one of those for me,amongst others. This is truly a great Album.

[@jolyonholroyd]

Hope..thank you

[@metamorphic8]

...yet another masterful creation - on all counts... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@seancollins6524]

Very Cool Song

[@micahb2627]

Best:ever.

[@johnsullivan3464]

[@foolsgoldenrod]

Aaaaaa! New Weather Station!

[@keeksterkw]

Awe.Some.

[@GlobalHotelGuys]

Great interview on NPR...thank you for your voice!🙏🏾🧡🙏🏾

Fab stuff, excited to hear the new record for sure.

[@paulmolina3335]

Beautiful and quaint. Thank youuuu, Weather Station 💜💜💜

[@tjn0110]

Heard you on CBC radio today, beautiful music. I like the use/focus of nature in the videos.

[@willchan9960]

Ignorance is COMING! Love it already!!

[@joshuabright4855]

What a treasure :D!

[@pedrokz]

Never disappoints!

[@leonardomejias1860]

[@davidquinn1149]

Well worth a listen. Go, "Streetlight...!"

[@JAG1gene]

This definitely has some iamamiwhoami vibes. Very pretty!

[@Gobbledi_Gook]

I thought the same thing! I'm loving the visual direction of this album

[@meinholundermann]

brilliant-uh!

[@rals301]

It’s cute. It’s funny how things are deceptive.

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

Do they have lyrics in their website? I have a hard time understanding Tamara sometimes

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

Ok I saw that the lyrics are up for this one.

[@nuttyfroot]

Tegan and Sara sent me here.

[@gregglamb3105]

She sounds like Annie Lennox

[@metropolan]

This Is Bruce Springsteen, Isn'I It?
