about

Why we all workin' so much?

lyrics

I’ve been saving pennies for some time
Waiting my turn, standing in line
I worked so hard I thought I’d go insane
Then you came along and said my name

Maybe you’re lost
Maybe you’re found
maybe you pulled your own roots right out of the ground
Maybe you’re right
Maybe it’s best
To live your life just showing up like you’re some accidental guest


Nothing comes from nothing so we’re told
But if it’s nothing you want, the I guess you’re gold
Closed your eyes and jumped out of the boat
Why sink or swim when you can float

Maybe you’re lost
Maybe you’re found
maybe you pulled your own roots right out of the ground
Maybe you’re right
Maybe it’s best
To live your life just showing up like you’re some accidental guest

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.
