about

A long distance collaboration between myself and my good friend Cam. "The Whining" was a song I wrote in 2012 and for this collaboration, Cameron arranged the backing track in Vancouver and I recorded the vocals on Salt Spring Island.

lyrics

look, that lady's in love
it's the lady of shallot
she stopped to pick flowers
but now she charges by the hour
a poem to keep you intact
take away the mythology and who knows how you'd act
and you were so mean
my father he was mean to me
my mother she was mean
I followed you home last night from school
you looked so pretty I just had to take you with me
I think that you deserved it, that body's made for sin
come girl you will like it, just give in
and you were so mean
my father he was mean to me
my mother she was mean
such a simple imprint I meant leave
but those sands have been spit on, ravaged and heaved
oh should I feel ashamed to look upon this mess?
my mission in vain leaves a hole in my love chest
and you were so mean
my father he was mean to me
my mother she was mean
