about

Grand Marais strode into the world during a rainy cold day up there spent in B Marie's 1959 Airstream... a nighttime trip up from Homegrown, where “there's a wolf on the road, the rain like diamonds in her coat...” I heard a Sparhawk say from a branch extended for all to perch upon, “if anyone's got any ideas, i'd do 'em... it'll work out.” It still is, and somewhen still up on that same day, “...water falls faster than sinners lose their way, even Temperance herself floods, folks gather with jugs and pluck her buds...”

lyrics

Grand Marais

It's a rainy day in ol Gran Marais
Storm clouds pass by like floats on parade
I gotta good dog at my feet like a log

It's a rainy day in ol Gran Marais
Got some homegrown rockin further down the lake
There's a wolf on the road
The rain like diamonds on her coat

There's more to change than just what weathers here
There's more to change than just what weather's here
Whatever weathers here

Alouette, gentille alouette,
Alouette, je te plumerai.

It's a rainy day here in ol Gran Marais
St. Paul's always felt lifetimes away
He wouldn't like it up here
There's no savior to fear

It's a rainy day here in ol Gran Marais
water falls faster than sinners lose their way
Where even Temperance floods
folk gather with jugs and pluck her buds

sonofmel Hayward, Wisconsin

Sometimes it takes traveling far from home to find out where one comes from... after combing the world for signs of the sacred among paths of the profane, Sonofmel returns with fistfuls of chords wrapped up in verse that declare though trouble never starves, somewhere high above the maladies of modern man, the sky is still as blue as when Adam first kissed Eve... ... more
