ENDLESS WATER (2007)
Written and Preformed by The Darcys
Produced by Matt Durante

1. Strange Fits
I played
In the old waves
Till the new ones
Brought me home

We were borne
of the anthems and the heat
These Strange Fits of Grace, I still don't know what they mean

My hope
Is that your smoke
Will carry us along
Across the day

We were borne
of the anthems and the heat
These Strange Fits of Grace, I still don't know what they mean

2. I’ve Been Sleeping
She says I’ve been dreaming
Yes I’ve been killing for a long long time
Yes I’ve been killing for a long long time

She says I've been drinking
Yes, I’ve been drinking for a long long time

Tonight, tonight, tonight
I’m gonna see it through
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I’m gonna get my self to you

She says I’ve been sleeping
Yes I’ve been sleeping for a long long time
Yes I’ve been sleeping for a long long time

Tonight, tonight, tonight
I’m gonna see it through
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I’m gonna get my self to you

3. I am a Ship
I am a ship
I’ve spent a season under your wind

Although I've Not been
Home in a while

I will not stay, I will not

Out from under starry nights
Well I have strayed

I am under your,
I am under your wind.

4. Where Are Your Daughters (No More Love Songs)
And where are your daughters?
And where are your daughters?

I’m not the man
I’m not the man that you came here for
There be no more love songs

5. Endless Water
Je ne suis
Je ne suis pas prêt

I’m not ready
I’m not ready yet
I’m not ready
I’m not ready yet

I draw endless water,
from the well beside your bed
I picked up my bible, but I couldn't
get past the part where it said.

"In our campaign of trust
Everything no it turns to Dust.
We're gonna love you,
You know that we Must
Everything Everything Turns to Dust"

When I told you in the morning,
about the plan so sweet and simple
you told me everything i'd ever loved
had been so accidental

and that god was not that
that god was not that.
and god was not that.

Je ne suis
Je ne suis pas prêt
I’m not ready
I’m not ready yet

6. We Twin Bruises
We twin bruises
On the sun
Lost our faith in everyone
We twin Bruises
On your sun

The wires split out
from your dress
our hearts break
the excess
We twin Bruises
Lord on the sun

Oh You with the bourbon lips
Oh You with the vodka hips
Lead us not into temptation
Lead us home

7. Ultra
I’m tied straight to your bed
And you just sit there
laughing in your honey dress

Singing songs to the ultra harmonic
We make love to the body politic

Its heaven by your arms
Heaven by your arms

I’m tied straight to your bed
And you just sit there
Laughing in your honey dress

Singing songs to the ultra economic
We make love to the body politic.

And I just don’t feel a thing
I just don’t feel a thing.

8. A Series of Prayers (for something to happen)
I’m gonna build something
No matter how long it takes
Even if its maudlin
Or even if it breaks

The skyline got undressed
Slipped into something familiar
These hands of mine of doubly pressed
In search of something higher

Our new friends
The ones that come in after the end
If you’ll play the night
We’ll play the wind
We’ll play the wind

9. When We Are Wilderness
If this can only be one thing
If this can only be one thing

Then I just want to live right
Then I just want to live right

10. Untitled (Bedroom Beats)
Instrumental

11. New Jr.
I came here
With a portrait of the light
A thousand tiny breaths
That make up the weight of our life

I came here
With a portrait of the light

Why won’t you?
Why won’t you?
Take me home?

I follow
Just like you taught me to
You are the light that I see by
And the one I’m fading through

12. Subsequent Ghosts
Oh my holy father
And oh our subsequent ghosts
Paint your lines all over my days
And leave my nights alone

On the day that we make
Amendments, to the same
Run your fingers over my letters
Until you see my name

I thought all of this was cured
Cured up to a point
Pick any of my old words
They’re sure to disappoint

Oh my holy father
And oh our subsequent ghosts
Paint your lines all over my days
And leave my nights alone

13. These Ones Were Our Reveries
All the money in my heart
Gonna need a place where I can spend

All the broken spots on my body
Gonna need a place where I can mend

Sigh just when the morning comes
I didn’t want it just to end

These ones were our reveries
Now its just all wait and see

Baby baby you and me
Sleeping in perpetuity

The following is from JUICEBOXdotcom:

The Darcys live up the street from us. They have one great full-length record called Endless Water that they recorded in a children’s museum. Ben Rayner of the Toronto Star described it as “Thom-Yorke-does-Crazy-Horse,” a sweet quote that will probably live in their bio for some time. They’re currently demoing obsessively for their follow-up. This Final Fantasy cover regularly closes out their live set, rocks the shit, and has the blessing of Mr. Owen Pallet himself. For a time period of about two weeks. Which is why we’re stoked to present to you, for the first time in Juicebox Recording Co. history, the storied, illustrious limited-time download. You’ve got two weeks to tell everyone you love that this exists. Go.
Courtesy of the Darcys: At some point along the way, the concept of home loses the sturdy foundations that it maintained in childhood. There is less and less of a place that you can point to and say, “this is my home”. Being in a band further emphasizes that loss. Travel makes home seem more circumstantial. I could just as easily be living elsewhere. There are other streets that could feel as familiar as these ones do. There are other bars and other neighbours, other graffiti and other houses. The things that feel familiar and assured, the things that allow for that sense of belonging aren’t specific to me and yet, home retains some semblance of its magic and its meaning. I still want to come home. I still feel at home. It is just that now, we project that meaning out on to the world. We allow home to protect and to re-assure. We allow its comfort and its familiarity free up the energy necessary to love, to create and to be in the world. This is a song about the place we can come home to.

DOWNLOAD NO LONGER AVAILABLE (thanks for downloading!)

In an effort to get into the Holiday Spirit we have uploaded a few songs from our record Endless Water (which you can buy via iTunes).

It makes a great stocking stuffer!

Anyway, we have uploaded Strange Fits and When We Were A Wilderness, both songs that we are very proud of and happy to share.

Be Safe,
The Darcys
