Name: Landslide
Duration: P00H02M41S
Description: This song was inspired by how our society reacts to disasters, big and small, and for better or for worse. I also wanted to write a song with a whole whackload of chords, and I've never used organ as the main instrument of a song before, so that was a fun experiment.

lyrics

poor old landslide come collide with me
the burden of relying on the shore defines the sea
any time you make it sing you don't have to tell
all the politicians ominous as the bottom of the well

[ch]
right on time there's no more love for me
you legislate the hundredth time
but i don't care what landslides believe
broken landslide your fever's 103
there's a hand-me-down that i have found to feed a hungry industry
born in pain well pay your bills ain't got time they're gunning still
oh landslide your old technique to undermine our will

[ch]
& idle crow, high or low, they're free
rolling down the final hills
i don't roll – the landslide covers me

Everything Shawn William Clarke does is pretty. Pretty guitar playing, vocals, songwriting, and with this album, a lovely sonic landscape. Perfect music for drinking your morning coffee while gazing out the window. Track 1 is the most calming and hopeful music I've heard in a really long time. Bet Smith
