lyrics

The Long View

In private
you can whisper all your plans
to the fog.

From Olympus the Gods observe us.
They’re crossing wires
and setting fires,
but they can’t see us for the clouds.

Machinations
provide a latticework of work and words,
so climb aboard.

The long view; hard to see
past me, past you; the long view.
Things to come; gone from; gone through,
the long view; past the end.
Still can’t see around the bend
or through disguise; it’s a surprise.

In private
confide your little wounds and wins
to the wind.

In Valhalla, Odin’s angry.
He’s distracted by some infraction
of the rules for Gods.

about

David Garland New York, New York

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