about

Canadian Singer-Songwriter Brooklyn Doran wrote the words to this melancholy rumination on first love. Her words are achingly beautiful, and I wanted to write music that fit her mood. Don and I worked to keep both sadness and spirit in the production. Special thanks to Sharon Chang for the atmospheric piano. I hope you love it as much as we do. Song number 6 from the EP "To the Island, From the Lake," released in early 2021. Groceries for your ears.

lyrics

Mouth and Collar

So this is my ode to say
I remember what you wore that day
Drove down the backroad to Pattison Lake
This is my ode today

We fought, we cried
And I left you in the cold outside
We broke things off a few too many times
Oh, young love, first love of its kind

But your eyes were were the first eyes to hold mine
Your ideas were were the first to fill my mind
We broke things off a few too many times
Oh, young love, first love is not kind

Copper penny mouth and collar bones
in the sun beneath my hands
Cover treasure up with skipping stones
My heart plunders what it can

This is my ode to you
Old love of mine
Drove down the backroad to Pattison Lake
This is my ode today

We broke things off a few too many times
Oh, young love, last love of its kind
First love is not kind
First love of its kind
Oh, darling, we were made for this.
