Song Review
Today’s American Thanksgiving post come to us from the Montreal indie-rock trio Land of Talk. The band was formed during front-woman Elizabeth Powell’s time at Concordia University, where she met former members Mark Wheaton and Chris McCarron (currently playing with The Dears) in 2007; the lineup has since evolved to include bassist Joe Yarmush and drummer Andrew Barr. It’s Okay can be found on Land of Talk’s debut LP “Some Are Lakes”, released via Secret City Records (Canada) and Saddle Creek Records (US) on October 7th of last year. The band has since followed up that album with the release of their “Fun and Laughter” EP this past October. The band has 7 more shows scheduled for 2009, all south of the border, starting on December 3rd; the shows are listed below.

It’s Okay,
I don’t even cry
all I think about is a memory
and the dream when you kissed my arm
as I look away, don’t here what I say
That maybe when I die
I get to be a car
driving in the night
lighting up the dark.
something in your voice
sparks a little hope
I’ll wait up for that noise
your voice become my home
One way road, don’t care what I find
A little thunders good, I thought maybe you would
but it’s okay, we all feel left out
sometimes growing up, it can get you down.
I give you some thing that no one’s going to give you
my sleepin’ skin and my heart deep down in you
I’ll never tell you, but you’re my little scar
Goodbyes are hard and there hard and there hard
Maybe when I die
I get to be a car
driving in the night
Lighting up the dark
Something in your voice,
sparks a little hope
Ill wait up for that noise
your voice become my home
