lyrics

When the child sleeps
Drifting in a dream
He slowly slips away
Slips into a song
Oh, what life would be
If this were reality
Stretching out his tongue
To taste the trickle down

Paper-thin construction contours me
In dreams that shake
Beneath the weight of these
Lines and folly
Life outside these walls
It's hard to see where
You leave space for me
For me

Basement of a stream
Sedimentary beads
Thick water overhead
My violent riverbed
You're quick to honour me
As the weathering succeeds
I am more like you
But I still cannot move

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.
