Anyone else a fan of this band? I especially like their album One Soul Now. Here's one of my fav songs from that one:
Of all the lives to live why this one?
Filled with could-have-been. No fun.
Countless nights of anxious frustrations.
Of all the lives to live why this one?
Of all the souls to meet, why these two?
One, cold and dark, furious as a shrugging ocean.
The other, shiny, fresh as a winter morning.
Of all the souls to meet, why these two?
Another night in bed with you
Another day beside you gone.
Slipping softly off to sleep
You say, "Do you ever wonder why this one?"
A dusty simple-minded piece of fiction.
Strange and odd, twisted as a contradiction.
A glittering jewel of flaws and celebration.
Another night in bed with you
Another day beside you gone.
Slipping softly off to sleep
You say, "do you ever wonder why this one?"
You say, "do you ever wonder why this one?"
You say, "do you ever wonder why this one?"
Why this one, why this one, why this one?
Of all the lives to live why this one?
Filled with could-have-been. No fun.
Countless nights of anxious frustrations.
Of all the lives to live why this one?
Of all the souls to meet, why these two?
One, cold and dark, furious as a shrugging ocean.

Another night in bed with you

You say, "do you ever wonder why this one?"
You say, "do you ever wonder why this one?"
You say, "do you ever wonder why this one?"
Why this one, why this one, why this one?
Life is the riddle
Of which we're caught in the middle.
A couple of lucky ones
Tangled up in too much love

That I am asking.
Or just a lucky one deceived by too much love?
Confused, is the issue.
I'm in need of high rescue.
Another lucky one stunned by too much love.
My wild child
She's my salvaged shipwreck.
My wild child she's my stone.
My wild child
She's my constant reminder.
My wild child, she's my home.
Lost, is the place
Where I'm hammering stakes.
Sign says, "A lucky one done in by too much love."
Saved, is the state
That we are told was graced.
He was just a lucky one betrayed by too much love.
My wild child
She's my salvaged shipwreck.
My wild child she's my stone.
My wild child
She's my constant reminder.
My wild child she's my home.

One soul now
Carry only what twilight brings
One soul now
Watch the colour drain from the sky
One soul now
Stillness settles, glides on by
One soul now
I don't understand how these things
Move the way they do
Collide the way they do
Feel the way they do
When we touch the way we do
Fireflies drift on a midnight fog
One soul now
Twinkling gifts from a puzzling god
One soul now
Journey out into the fields
One soul now
Crane our necks and watch us wheel
One soul now
I don't understand how these things
Move the way they do
Collide the way they do
Feel the way they do
When we touch the way we do
Feel the weight of all those slings
One soul now
Carrying only what twilight brings
One soul now

hey we have good taste in music, eh?
yeah, the trinity session is fantastic! it's all covers, but they make the songs their own. sweet jane is on that and the "natural born killers" soundtrack.
the only other complete album of theirs i own is "lay it down"...one of my faves is on there called "a common disaster"...great stuff.
can't go wrong with the canadian music eddie's grrl
ok... >puts trinity session on shopping list< thanks!
yeah, something about canadian artists and me just clicks.

Anybody else know that their hit "The Post" was written by J. Macais from Dinosaur Jr.? That's a weird one

im really into them lately.....
One Soul now
also Ring On The Sill is really awesome as well.... alot of their albums are pretty good all the way through
She placed her ring on the sill
Dishes piled high
She's on the front porch step
And the air smells like snow
She's thinking of the siege to come
And how she'll miss those weekends in the park
With the sun on her face, and her book by her side
And that lingering taste that he left on her tounge
He lifts his glass from the table
It leaves a ring where it stood
He sees a light from a window
Caress her like he knows he should
He's remembering the first time he kissed her
And how he'd wake and immediately he'd miss her
Like a spell, with each breath
He'd taste her breath like a haunting
Irritating as hell
Do you remember when you prayed you'd never see the day
Someone would make you feel this way
'Cause you knew it would cut right through you
Once inside, you were afraid they'd find
Nothing to hold on to
He puts her ring on her finger
She brushes back his hair
He takes a sip from his glass
She inhales the cold fall air
They're thinking of the long road ahead
And the strength that they'll need just to reach the end
And there in the silence, they search for the balance
Between this fear that they feel
And a love that has graced their lives
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
