Скачать или смотреть Love is Drowning @ Winnipeg Folk Exchange Open Mic, 2014-01-17

Open mic performance of Love is Drowning at the Winnipeg Folk Exchange on January 17, 2014. ("Show more" for lyrics, song starts at 0:16)

Really enjoyed playing this, although I fumbled the ending a bit..it's supposed to end on three chords, but I played the wrong chord at 5:03..."Wait which chord was it...? no time, try G6...nope! It was the other one."

Seeing reactions to the song on the faces in the crowd felt pretty incredible.

What a great place, what a great night. Thanks to Cara Luft for being an awesome host, and thanks to Manitoba Music once again for making an island of warmth in the Winnipeg winter for people like me to figure out this performing thing.

like a raindrop in the ocean
or a single grain of sand
you're so much smaller than the thing
you're supposed to be part of

like the last flicker of light
as the sun is setting down
you've come so far away from where you started,
through so much frozen empty
can you remember feeling warm

and all around you is
the wonder of
everything
you're supposed to be part of

like a whisper in a windstorm
or a word inside a book
you can feel lost within the thing
you've become part of

like each moment of your life
you blink and then it's gone
you've come so far away from where you started,
with thin and faded history
but you remember being warm

everything is once in a lifetime
and then it's gone
yes everything is once in a lifetime
and then it's gone

and out there love is drowning
and out there love is being buried in the sand
and smashing castles with an angry fist

and all around you is
the wonder of
everything
you're supposed to be part of

yes all around you is
the wonder of
everything
you have always been part of

how many raindrops touch your skin before they end up in the sea
