Tune of the Day: Great Lake Swimmers - Still

The Great Lake Swimmers have just released their music video yesterday for the ethereal Still off their latest, Polaris-short-listed album Lost Channels, easily one of my favourite songs seen live this past summer.

I'm still turning myself on to the great key, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still mining for light in dark wells, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still a frequency swaying, a leaf in the wind, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still searching for whispers in between yells, I'm still, I'm still

I'm still swimming in harmony, I'm still dreaming of flight
I'm still lost in the waves, night after night

I'm still an arrow unshot, fixed in a bow, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still a fire unlit, ready to go, I'm still, I'm still

I'm still loaded and waiting, with anticipation to fly
I'm still studying the patterns in the night sky

I'm still a note that's unplayed, ink on a page, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still a cry in the night, lonesome and high, I'm still, I'm still

I'm still tuned to an instrument of greater and unknown design
I'm still looking for direction, some kind of sign

I'm still tuning myself to the great key, I'm still, I'm still

And here's my live recording of Still from the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, featuring members of The Breakmen and Rock Plaza Central providing back-up.
(Please pardon the slight garbles; my point-and-shoot is not great with picking up bass.)
