    TBH was recorded over the summer of 2005 in the Eastern Townships outside of Montreal near the town of Sutton. We set up a makeshift studio in a barn and basically tracked everything while the insects buzzed and birds sang during the day; and the crickets chirped and the coyotes howled at night.

lyrics

CONTINENTAL DIVIDE

From here on in, the water’s flowing eastward
From here on in, it’s generally all downhill
I could stare here in Billings County, North Dakota
But there’s somewhere else that I should be
I never thought, that this could feel so lonely
I never thought, I’d find myself here again
But the Great Lakes, radio preacher
He’s got me happy
‘Cause he cries we all can find the Kingdom, too//

And I’m tilting
On my axis
To get closer to the sun
Tilting
On my axis
To get closer to the sun//

I lost my nerve, but found it in a rainstorm
I lost you, too, but don’t think I could find you again
Still I’m racing the freight-train horizon
Towards the ocean
Through fields that don’t seem like they want to end//

So I’m tilting
On my axis
To get closer to the sun
Tilting
On my axis
To get closer to the sun//

If I need to, I’ll pull up my equator
If I need to, I’ll bend my latitudes to keep you in
And push up mountains, suspend all erosion
And hold the winter
To get back to you
Before the last leaf falls

So I’m tilting
On my axis
To get closer to the sun
Tilting
On my axis
To get closer to the sun//
