about

Milk and Honey explores the gap between presence and anticipation, idleness and perseverance, the shadow side and the light side of waiting.

It is a strange thing to live in a time when everyone is looking ahead for things to return to normal, and wondering if you are failing or succeeding in that process. Sometimes it's a bit of both.

In western culture we love to dream of perfection, constantly pointing out lack as if lack could ever be overcome. We want utopia but forget that it is in the cracks and the gaps that we often are transformed.

lyrics

It’s true that every dream I’ve ever dreamt
Is just dreaming of another to replace it
I’ve heard that trust is a burning thing

She says I hang my hat on every word
Be it anchored in reality or absurd
Just fill the gaps saying everything
So speechlessness is a hornet’s sting

‘Cause I’ve been biding time for milk and honey
All things will come to those who wait
I’ll see you out on the horizon some day

The boys of east Strathcona live alone
With their visions of Utopia and cell phones
Just waiting on the world to change

Thursday nights we meet at the legion
Swapping trading tips for crypto and revolution
We drink all night to hold our gains

‘Cause I’ve been biding time for milk and honey
All things will come to those who wait
I’ll see you out on the horizon some day

Some day

Everybody’s turning around but I hope to see it through

All things will come to those wait

‘Cause I’ve been biding time for milk and honey
All things will come to those who wait
I’ll see you out on the horizon some day
