    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

THERE YOU ARE

There’s a line in a book that I often overlook
It says, “While you’re here, might as well, shout it out and ring the bell, ring the bell”
And this I know to be so, but today I lost the flow
My shadow left and hit the road
My reflection never showed
I opened up the magazine
I sat and watched the movie screen
Thank God the TV avatar
He caught my eye and he pointed out//

There you are
There you are//

Calendars and specials charts
All the names and all the hearts
Entropy and finger snaps
A million dots on a million maps
You’ll face in back and half way down
But turn around or you just begun
That name tag from the seminar
Just take it off yeah throw it out
There you are There you are
See I’m a speck and you’re a ghost
Renters of this dying host
But if I love you anyway is that enough for today
You say you don’t feel like you’re here
You’re losing something every year
There’s your skin and there’s your scar
I lift the sheets and without a doubt//

There you are
There you are
There you are//

So make believe if you must
To satisfy your wonder lust
‘Cause the earth is down
The sun is bright
Your hand is left and your foot is right
So raise yourself and deeply sigh
Step out in the nighttime sky
Tilt your head and find your star
If you don’t know, where you be
And if you don’t know where you be//

There you are
There you are//
