about

In the beginning of the recording there are tiny tapping typewriter noises. This is the sound of my dog, Banana, as she walked into the room to join us. We set the guitar in front of a mic, the cello in front of another mic, and we opened and closed the windows. You can hear the rain and the thunder that day. It was spring and things were just beginning to turn light green. I had an image of rain dripping off white roses and the light of the streetlamp and the moon shimmering in the puddles at night. Everything was new again, as it always was, and yet still hidden too : in the "light of the night, I am yours".

lyrics

White little lies like
White little roses in the rain

Now we’re even closer
than before

Signs of a shadow
pass me by
Like songs of a new day
on the rise

Now we’re even closer
than before

And you would say to me
“I’ve never been happier!”

And I would say to you
“I’ve never been here before this day…

I was just a shadow by the moon.

Light of the night, I’m yours!”

about

Ohara Montréal, Québec

Ohara’s music has the beauty of a paradox: it’s both slow and upbeat, both vulnerable and resilient, both gentle and assertive – her vocals float out into the room with a tender clarity. Alone or accompanied by friends, Ohara Hale reveals the more tender and thoughtful aspects of her body of life-art-work. It’s a poem, a song, a leaf, a cloud. It is something you can hold, something you can have. ... more
