about

"Listen to the Wind" is about that panicked feeling that comes up sometimes after reading the news all day for too many days in a row - talking to too many people at work - after a hard argument with someone you love - a friendship disintegrating, a relationship ending, and you aren't sure how you messed it up, but you know you did - and you just have to get out of the city, get out in the middle of nowhere - all alone - out on a winding mountain road, and drive with the windows open, up the canyon, just the clean air blowing through the windows, just the constant hum of the engine, the incessant demands of the city and of people receding behind you and then you pull over on the gravel shoulder - way up above the smog and the haze and - you stand by the side of the road in the cool breeze and just listen to the silence, listen to the wind, your only friend.

lyrics

The mountain air the cool breeze is beckoning
Got to listen to the wind

You know me I've got to get out of the city
Just to listen to the wind

I'm sorry honey, where i'm going you can't come with me
Got to listen to the wind

We are waiting for the fire, we are waiting for the flood
Mountain crumbles in the ocean but there isn't any blood
I was standing on the coast line hands in my pockets
Threw my old life in the water but it didn't get me wet
I never knew it but I prepared for the fight
I've listened for years to the rising tide
All alone in the parking lot burning my tires
All alone in the parking lot burning my tires

Armageddon armageddon the fire rises up again
Got to listen to the wind

Got on the freeway in the dead of night to let my mind unwind
Just tryin to listen to the wind

You've been my only friend for years and years,
You've been my only friend who hears
When we listen to the wind

I turned on the TV to see the news
To see if anyone else from the city was coming on
That was when I saw you your face filling up with fire
Tried to photograph you then you were looking like an angel
In a catastrophic choir
I never knew it but I prepared for the fight
I've listened for years to the rising tide
All alone in the parking lot burning my tires
All alone in the parking lot burning my tires

I'm the owner of a broken heart, everything gets torn apart
Even the majestic dark crumbles into the park
We are waiting for the fire, we are waiting for the flood
Mountain crumbles in the ocean but there isn't any blood

Power crashes on a dying shore, I caught the final glow
Got to listen to the wind

The canyon risin up in my headlights, I'm on the shoulder crying
Just tryin to listen to the wind

You've been my only friend for years and years,
You've been my only friend who hears
When we listen to the wind

We are waiting for the fire, we are waiting for the flood
Mountain crumbles in the ocean but there isn't any blood
I was standing on the coast line hands in my pockets
Threw my old life in the water but it didn't get me wet
I never knew it but I prepared for the fight
I've listened for years to the rising tide
All alone in the parking lot burning my tires
All alone in the parking lot burning my tires
I'm the owner of a broken heart
Everything gets torn apart
Even the majestic dark
