paroles de chanson Six Red Cannas - Jenny Hval

Red cannas in the sky
Red cannas in the sky

I didn't think about it at the time
I didn't think about it at the time
But in the desert
I think I was trying to write to Georgia O'Keeffe

Georgia
Georgia
Georgia
Georgia
Georgia

Like Joni Mitchell writes to Amelia Earhart
When she is driving, driving driving in the desert
As if a song can communicate
With the spirits or awaken the dead

I mean, isn't that what it's for?
1927
I mean, isn't that what it's for? (1929)
1946
I mean, isn't that what it's for? (1976)
1980
1996
1999
Awaken the dead

I was but wasn't quite writing
I spotted six red cannas
As I was driving towards Ghost Ranch
In the north of New Mexico
New-New-New-New-New-New-New Mexico
New-New-New-New-New-New-New Mexico

But I was seeing them
Red cannas in the sky
Red cannas in the sky
As they were tearing up the heavens
Opening the zipper

To let loose all kinds of spirits (1943)
Of spirits, of spirits
And you know, there used to be an ocean here (1937)
1924
We used to be all under water (1821)
1563
We used to be all under water (Clovis points)

The Niobraran Sea
We used to be all under water (the ocean)
We used to be all under water (the ocean)
We used to be all under water (the ocean)
We used to be all under water
