Song Review
In an attempt to get into gear for the upcoming Juno awards (March 29th), I’ve decided to try and highlight some of my favorite nominees over the next 2 weeks. Today’s winner is Montreal indie-rock band Plants and Animals, whose album Parc Avenue is nominated for Alternative Album of the Year. Just so everyone is aware exactly how bad-ass a win in this category is, the last 4 winners have been Arcade Fire, City and Colour, Broken Social Scene, and Feist.
Released in February of 2008, the album was also a nominee for the Polaris Music Prize alongside notable acts Black Mountain and Holy Fuck.
What’s gonna happen to you
You have woke up too soon
And found the world rearranged
And now your feelings have changed
Say goodbye to before. (bye bye bye)
You are not welcome anymore
The door’s been shown to you (bye bye bye)
But only if you go through
You run into the night
No sound, no vision, no sight
And no words to explain
just smell times of change
Whats gonna happen to you (bye bye bye)
You have woke up too soon
And the world is rearranged
And now your feelings have changed
Oh, today I saw a shadow
And I had the feeling there would be another.
One in the wintertime and one in the summer (bye bye bye)
When the river was still
We would not help ourselves
It’s very easy to do
And we never needed to
And the birds so high (bye bye bye)
Started a fire in the forest
Can you remember the day (bye bye bye)
We had to separate
And nobody knows
What’s tearing us apart
Cause we’re part of one another
A son and a father and a mother and a brother
When the river was still (bye bye bye)
We would not help ourselves (bye bye bye)
It’s very easy to do
We never needed to
Oh, today I saw a flower
And I had the feeling there would be another
One in the wintertime and one in the summer
Whats gonna happen to you
What’s going to happen
What’s going to happen
What’s going to happen
What’s going to happen to you
You have woke up too soon
What’s going to happen to you
You have woke up too soon
What’s going to happen to you
You have woke up to soon
What’s going to happen to you
Bye bye bye…
