I was violated by my dentist today. I should clarify, I was financially violated by my dentist today to the tune of $485 dollars; though I imagine this sort of violation feels similar to the other kind of dentist violation. So tell all your friends about BowlingStone.com, my traffic will increase, and I can charge more for advertising in an attempt to save up for my next check-up. Anyways, today’s song is another from the Toronto-based indie-rock/folk band Great Lake Swimmers. Unlike the previous song I posted from the band, Your Rocky Spine is found on the group’s 2007 release OngiaraOngiara reviews
; the song would hit #1 on Canada’s unofficial official independent music chart, The R3-30, on June 14th of 2007. The band is currently making their way through Europe in support of their latest release Lost Channels, released on March 31st of this year, before returning to Canada in the new year. The tour schedule can be found on the band’s website here. For more from the band, we have also posted a song from Lost Channels below.
Great Lake Swimmers -- Pulling on a Line
I was lost in the lakes
And the shape that your body makes
That your body makes
And the mountains said I could find you here
They whisper the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
Your body was the map
I was lost in there
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you and now you’re mine
I was moving across your frozen veneer
The sky was dark
But you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps?
And would you shatter, would you shatter?
Would you?
Your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
I could tell then there that we were formed from the clay
And came from the rocks for earth to display
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rages through your hair
