lyrics

I am the eastern shore
I quelled the impulses of man
Words from the river’s edge

Eight winds ask for my hand
But I bow to heaven in heaven
I am no easy catch

I am the hairline rays
In all I illuminate
Fools have felt the winds against the grain
Yeah, the innocents are to blame…

I’m incensed by your words
I cross the water to your door
What’s your excuse this time?

I am the perfect hand
No way I am just as you say
I am no simple mind

I am the hairline rays
In all I illuminate
Fools have felt the winds against the grain
Yeah, the innocents are to blame…

I see you drinking at the river
You come for a taste?
Come for a taste

You pray I come and make it clearer
But, oh, what a waste
Oh, what a waste

about

Common Fires Kelowna, British Columbia

Described as having “[melodies] akin to Ben Howard or Bon Iver’s rawest moments”, and as having both “the serene qualities of singer-songwriter music [and] the abstract tendencies of prog”, Common Fires is equal parts ambitious and moving.
