Ebb and Flow

from Thaw by Ste van Holm

about

This song does not take place in Greenland, but in the bay of Kangiqsujuaq in the far north of Canada. The story was too good not to include, though. In the coldest of winter, every two week the moon’s pull is so strong that the fjord drains underneath the ice. The ice then sits directly on the floor of the bay, and the locals climb down underneath the ice to collect blue mussels. They have to be quick and alert, because the tide returns fast.

lyrics

Watch it sink
As the sound drains
When it sets
Chop a hole
Climb inside
The hidden world
Under the snow
Ebb and flow

Time is short
Light is scarce
Turquise glow
Marine snow
Ephemeral hunt
Blue mussel yield
Find your way out
Once more concealed
