lyrics

Just a Small Percentage

Calved with a crack and a splash,
a new iceberg is born --
born to submerge most of its form
and its most urgent urge.

Just a small percentage exposed,
the entrance is closed,
so what sits inside
can’t be described, only implied.

Unseen, unsaid, and unknown
unheard and unshown
shape undefined; hidden behind;
titanically blind.

Hidden in the cabinet, seemingly inanimate,
time is lurking anciently, working very patiently
Time makes a pattern of change, random atoms arrange
into shapes you can see;
shapes like me
with portions relvealed
and others concealed.

Hiding unseen,
caught in between,
looming below
the shape doesn’t show,
lurking behind,
titanically blind,
the old and the new
just out of view,
so what sits inside
can’t be described,
only implied.

about

Composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist David Garland has been steadily shaping songs in new ways since ... more 1980.

"Like many great songwriters before him, Garland pushes the limits of acceptable harmony and dissonance, yet never at the expense of beauty. If it's not possible for popular music to reach the heights of the great classical masters, it seems no one has told David Garland."
--Sean Lennon less
