about

Too much John Prine, not enough sleep (at night).

lyrics

I've become a daysleeper, a cracked and rusted gatekeeper
And you've become a hedge better, a worn and faded old sweater
Baby I’m sorry I didn't mean to let it go
Baby I’m sorry, oh I still love you so

I was once a head turner, a ready spark a barn burner
You were my first and last chancer, a steady hand, a slow dancer
Baby I’m sorry I didn’t mean to let it go
Baby I’m sorry, oh I still love you so
Baby I’m sorry that this room has grown so cold
Baby I’m sorry, oh I still love you so

Time’s an indelicate machine, can make you hard can make you mean
Can bury your love in the ground, but it can bring it back around
Baby I’m sorry I didn’t mean to let it go
Baby I’m sorry, oh I still love you so
Baby I’m sorry I spun my tracks down in the road
Baby I’m sorry, oh I still love you so

I've become a daysleeper, a cracked and rusted gatekeeper
But time has helped me see better, that you’re my favourite old sweater.

about

Norma MacDonald Halifax, Nova Scotia

The opening chords of In Waves set the record spinning in January, but the mood is wholly autumnal: lush, then resolute. A harvest and a hope.

On her sixth album, Norma MacDonald explores new songwriting tactics, reimagines old demos, and conducts sound experimentations that expand her folk and country influences into 60s pop, Motown harmonies, and jangly early millennium indie-rock.
