Happy birthday, Grant


BOUNDARY RIDER

There’s a boundary rider
at the five mile fence
bloodwood, bones + steers

And the sky’s so deep
you can’t find your sleep
keeps you walking through these tears

So you reach for things
you’re never satisfied
you’re running down the years

And to know yourself
is to be yourself
keeps you walking through these tears

Some days you ride it hard
to stop them getting out
then comes the day you ride
to stop them getting in

There’s a boundary rider
on the five mile fence
bloodwood, bones + steers

And to know yourself
is to be yourself
keeps you walking through these tears

4 tanker om “Happy birthday, Grant”

  1. That Striped Sunlight Sound – er ganske fantastisk. Især set i lyset af Grants utimelige forsvinden. Har gode minder her fra Bruxelles med Go-Betweens – især fra en aften, hvor vi efter en koncert hang ud med Grant og Robert.

  2. Er der nogen her, der har set den koncertfilm med the GB(That Striped Sunlight Sound), som Cinemateket viser senere på måneden?

  3. Ja, tillykke til Grant (hvor end du måtte være) og tak for sangene!
    Kan man tale om elektrisk popmusik som soundtrack til sin ungdom (og det der kom derefter), så udgjorde (og udgør) Grants sange en stor og væsentlig del af dette soundtrack.
