Where the Ocean Meets the Sky: A Visual EP

by Lauren Mann

/
  • DVD

    Shot and recorded live on Pender Island BC, Where the Oceans Meets the Sky: A Visual EP is a journey into new music with Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk.

    The project consists of six songs filmed in six different locations across Pender Island over the course of five days. The concept was to release new music in a way that would be complimentary to the next full length record, instead of taking away from it.

    All audio was recorded live on location, and no over-dubs or studio tricks were added.

    TRACK LISTING:
    Through Your Eyes
    St. Lawrence
    Fragile
    Changing

1.
You were once full of life Where on earth did it go Why’d you let it leave you here alone Among the silence Somewhere in between Who you were and who you wanted to be Something got a hold of you And nothing else mattered Yes I tried, oh yes I tried To see the world through your eyes But your eyes, your tired eyes Have lost their fire, have lost their light Sing your songs again You will make it through to the end Count it all joy, my friend That this is momentary Yes I tried, oh yes I tried To see the world through your eyes But your eyes, your tired eyes Have lost their fire, have lost their light Won’t you try, oh won’t you try To see the world through new eyes See how the ocean meets the sky Watch the stars light up the night

St Lawrence 03:14
I found an island in the middle of the St. Lawrence River Where everything I knew became clearer As I walked between the land and the sea I watched the stars at night and hid in the wood in the afternoon Forgetting all the things that I had to do All I knew was what surrounded me And all this time I never felt so alive And all this time I never felt so alive
3.
Fragile 05:44
We are fragile needing much We are delicate to the touch We are temporary at best Unaware of what’s next We float through space and time Transient hearts align We are wealthy, given much Keeping all but some to ourselves Hear the call to abandon self But we can’t get outside ourselves Fear of the undiscovered Locks us inside Leave all your inhibitions Embrace this life Leave what you once knew behind Take what is left see what you’ll find
4.
Changing 03:40
Everyone is changing, changing Nothing stays the same for very long Everything around is moving, moving I don’t even know where I am right now The highway takes me takes me Away from familiar places Where I left so many memories I don’t even know how to begin again Always moving, never stopping Always leaving, never staying Behind me are so many miles Ahead is where I’ll find myself
5.
Barren Land 05:06
From far away it’s a vast expanse Of land that meets the sky But up close is a stream in the coulee And plenty of places to hide From far away I can see your face Clear as the moonlight But up close your face is a desert You’ve given up the fight Oh barren land Dig your wells deep into the earth Oh, water from Deep inside will bring you back to life You’re looking back on days past When life was a generous soul But since then it’s offered you nothing But you haven’t given your all Oh barren land Dig your wells deep into the earth Oh, water from Deep inside will bring you back to life Oh, lift your eyes To the sky to where your help comes from Oh, let your soul Be revived and let your heart be light
6.
Wooden Heart 02:54
Oh, your wooden heart Doesn’t beat the way it used to You lost it by the seashore And it weathered into driftwood What brought you to the sea, Were you looking far away Or staring at the depths Holding onto something We’ll never be Really truly free until we Let go of the world And all it holds for something more Look beyond the sky Past the waves, past the tide Someday your wooden arteries Will beat with life again Oh your wooden heart Your wooden heart The ocean, oh It pulled you apart

about

Lauren Mann Pender Island, British Columbia

Memory & Desire was born out of uncertainty, and came from epiphanies of hope between the questions. Recorded at Lauren’s home in the Gulf Islands, it is an intimate marker of the passage of time, holding space between who she was and who she will be. With deeper honesty and a renewed effervescence, Lauren Mann is taking herself and her music back to her roots and creating authentic art. ... more
