about
This song is about homelessness and Hurricane Katrina... and mostly it's about my brother, Blair Lamothe (Jan, 1960 - Jan, 2010).
lyrics
la la la
my good brother, brave and free,
smiling face and dirty feet,
he don't want anything...
my sister floats across the yard,
like a hand-made birthday card,
she don't want anything...
la la la
the weight of a key in a pocket,
the warmth of a hand in a hand,
small stone on a window ledge...
wind chime like a nursery rhyme,
a wedding ring on a front porch swing,
reminders of where we've been...
la la la
the mirror cracks, the light shines through,
the sweetest dream turns black and blue...
everything forgotten,
the fear of darkness,
the face of god...
a circle of roses,
a broken heart...
the weight of a key in a pocket...
la la la

The Toronto Star says I am ‘a mercurial artist who slides effortlessly from rustic roots music to soulful country pop to full-blown rock balladry’. Works for me!

It was this tour i first saw them on, talked to Steven and Colin after the show, got my Moonloop C.D signed by them, they seemed really humble and approachable. Glad i saw them in the Delerium years. matt1098
