about

"Gananoque" is a song from Charlotte Cornfield's upcoming debut full-length album "Two Horses."

lyrics

I wore hurt on my face like a flag bearer waving colours in a blue parade
While your sharp teeth shone like spotlights on the audience in May
A frigate bound for the sea, I dropped anchors in every bay
But I lost them all to rotted rope, helplessly sailing away

I lay in your bedroom with my guard down
I’m the ear to the ground in your hometown
But my love lies west of this mess
In the steel grey city I blessed

You wore shoes on your feet like pylons, a gift from old flame to old flame
And I wove ‘round those orange obstacles and put your sneaky slalom to shame
In our last set of bed sheet blues our bodies greeted the day
And I left your village with words on my breath but not much at all to say

And then I exited your bedroom with my guard down
And I left all I found in your hometown
But my body lies west of this mess
In the steel grey city I blessed
In the steel grey blessed city
In the city blessed steel grey
Bless the grey steel city, baby
And the river that sailed me away

about

Toronto native Charlotte Cornfield escaped to Montreal at the age of 17. In the fall of 2010 she returned home and buckled ... more down for four months to track her debut full-length effort, Two Horses. The record, a fleshed-out conceptual tour de force, reflects the duality of Cornfield's influences: the deep lyricism and raw emotion of Mitchell mixed with the hooky-ness of New York rock 'n' roll. less
