lyrics

The man that you knew, love, is gone
So long, so long!
The wind came and blew him to sea
Let him be, let it be
He had no roots in the ground
Just his boots wet and brown
With the mud of this old place
Singin’ mad songs at the sun
To a little boy’s drum
Hear it beat in his heart
Hear how the words leave his lips
They dissolve there like mist
Pulled apart in the wind

Tears welled up, true, in his eyes
Though he was not surprised
When the time came to go, no

Send him your love if you wish
Cause you know it is missed
He cries out in the night,
“Beat in my heart, do the trick
As when you were the stick,
And my soul was the skin!
Beat in my heart do the trick,
Like when you were the stick
And my soul was the skin!”

Oh, my darlin’
My soul aches for that love to strike
So I can return
And stay there as long as I like

The man that you knew, love, is gone
So long, so long
The wind came and blew him to sea
Let him be, let it be

about

The High Dials Montréal, Québec

The High Dials are an indie pop band from Montreal.
While their melodic sensibility, harmonies and jangling guitars owe an obvious debt to the 60s and power pop groups, they also draw upon shoegaze, new wave and folk sounds to create rich and varied albums. Their most recent album “Primitive Feelings” is a predatory summer mix of lo-fi grooves, acid rock guitars and razor-sharp humour. ... more
