Eye Yam 03:46
I am but a leaf on The Tree of Knowing That I tend in my backyard I am but a stone on the road to going nowhere Fast and hard I am but a seed, a little green waiting for a breeze To take me far Circle out to see the world reflected in me Circle out to find the world I create in my mind I am but an ant on the hill where we howled at the moon Like wolves gone wild (x4) I am but a bird in her nest after flying home to rest Long days journey I am but a string on this thing I hold in my hands In my hands I am but a stitch in the fabric of time Of time Circle out to see the world reflected in me Circle out to find the world exists not just in mind

Master of my own design I pour myself a glass of unwind Roll your memory up with weed Tobacco leaves I wear my pain On my stained sleeves You burn holes in my clothes And my heart Heaven knows What's in store for us now Now I'm torn Been re-born Shed some skin I'll grow it in Thicker somehow (CHORUS:) Cuz there's enough time To stoke the fire And to move with the sweetness (x2) Riding fast in the sun As I pedal Singing gentle songs To push me on I can move! I can eat! I can feel the heat! Smell the grass on my skin Here I find I've caught a ride Now to open my eyes Let myself begin (CHORUS)

I like the way your jeans hang off your hips And I like the way you kiss me with your soft and gentle mouth And I like to think of you as my musical muse I like to think about what it would feel like to stand in your shoes (CHORUS:) Cuz these boots are much too big They're hard to fill They do their honest best to crush my determined will But you hold my hand Remind me how to walk I think I'll be dancing by the very next block And I like the way you move with that sexy, funky stride Though my heels slip with each step I'll do my honest best to keep by your side And if you stumble or fall or lose your grip The power in these travelling souls will keep us both well equipped (CHORUS)

So Far 03:09
I woke and what did I see and hear And who did I dress to be And I saw and heard what I thought I'd see The world I'd built around me So tall And I don't travel to find The answers I seek are mine And I know being away from home is how I grow So tall So tall So I step out of my door and smack into the sight Of a scaffold set on sinking sand yet built so high So high And I climb the wobbling tower I climb it all the time And I jump Bored with the same old view Knowing it's no longer true The drawing I drew is smudging Lines blurring Lines running I am running So far So far

Magnolia tree Rain your petals on me As the sea As the sea tucks the sun into sleep Sweet honey bee Buzz your business at me As the sea As the sea tucks the sun into sleep Wild and free Riding street after street Up and down And around and around and around Life on the horizon, as far as can be I am so small, you can hardly see me

about

Marina Lagacé Vancouver, British Columbia

My Mama tells me I used to sing myself to sleep in my crib. I don't have much memory for those early years, but I can't really remember a time without music either.

Trained in musical theatre, opera and classical voice, it was only a few years ago I discovered I could sing with a rock band.

Now I'm composing my own songs. Inspired by the earth, friendship, love, community, life, death & cats.
