about
North Of The Unknown
A haunted ballad … a lament and call for the absent lover (who is too far removed to hear) to come home ... to make the half whole. A song from a certain space within … a self lost in the wilderness of unwanted solitude ...
Musically: A mix of tango, swing, Irish ballad, and classic rock … in a minor key. Multilayered production with acoustic guitar; mariachi drum and percussion movements; electric guitar and organ – painting in sound the swirling colours of a void dreamt in outer space.
– Tim Garrigan
"There is a definite west coast vibe to the textures and production that I think totally works."
"I think the vocal sound works really well and the way Tim sings these songs really contributes to this Laurel Canyon vibe."
"Awesome guitar textures in North of the Unknown. Also, it's kind of the darker side of Laurel Canyon."
"Gram Parsons, Notorious Byrd Brothers, Townes Van Sant, Nashville Skyline … but without imitating any of them."
-- Blake Fleming
lyrics
You've been so gone and I've been so wrong I just didn't know what else to do..
I could hide in my cage, covered with rage, until you would come through
But I don't know just where we're headed to...
You took that plane again 'cross that eastern sea and now I'm all alone
I'm still in your place but buried my face into the telephone...
But I know you got to do what you got to do
and I ain't tryin' to make you into something
I didn't know just where I was goin' when I put my trust in you
You said that you loved me as you sat there above me and made me feel a fool
Now I dont' know just how it's gonna end
if you gave me one more chance to try again
Oh where….did you go again ?
We're always late crashin' the gates even when we're in the same room
We held each other but now we've got to figure out what else to do
Now I don't want to break your heart
oh but honey I would understand if you said it's time we part
Oh where… did you go again? leaving me all alone?
Here in the mountains north of the unknown?
