lyrics

It’s too hot to sleep, it’s too early to walk the streets
Trying to find, trying to seek out something missing
I’m too rattled to know if I got anything left to show
For that warm humming glow I relied on

Why’s it so hard to get it right
All these shadows that we hold so tight
Gotta let go it’s just a trick of the light

It’s too early to say I won’t get carried away
By the sweet words you say when we’re laughing
I thought this bird had flown but she just flew right on home
Gave up being along by intention

Why’s it so hard to get it right
All these shadows that we hold so tight
Gotta let go it’s just a trick of the light
Trick of the light
Trick of the light

It’s too hot to sleep and these secrets I keep
Are bound to make me meet my maker
If you showed me the door I wouldn’t know what to use it for
Got my feet stuck to the floor by your anchor

Why’s it so hard to get it right
All these shadows that we hold so tight
Gotta let go it’s just a trick, gotta let go it’s just a trick
Gotta let go it’s just a trick of the light

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.
