3) Through and Through [3:30]

BPM 58 ~ D Major ~ ISRC: CA7W42200004

With "Through and Through," we picture the kind of love where big dreams come to life and the world shines in technicolour. Our coastal hometown of Halifax, Canada makes its way into this song through images of beach and tide, as does Montreal, the place of our formative years as a band: "trees brushing by in shades of fall, by a maple parasol." Beyond the cinematic imagery and biographical details, we also tried to capture something deeper that we feel—a movement from the early excitement of puppy love to something more patient and constant. It’s a quiet undercurrent that flows through beautiful and true things in our world. I’m going to make Luke blush, but it’s what I feel when I’m with him.

LYRICS

We stayed up late on the beach  

Sharing the worries we keep  

The things that we hide  

Hoping the tide  

Would wash them away gently, gently  

You made me feel so at home  

Free as a kid skipping stones  

Our hearts set at ease  

It was just you and me  

And the waves whispered a poem  

By the stars in the sky, we wondered why  

And who we’re supposed to be  

You held me tight  

in the cool of the night  

And our cares rolled away with the sea, sea, sea  

Our cares rolled away with the sea  

Hopped on the train to Montreal  

Trees brushing by in shades of fall  

Played Saint Anne’s reel  

On silver and steel  

By a maple parasol  

And the man on the moon with milk in his spoon  

Poured a drop of white on your hair  

In a ripple on the water  

We saw our granddaughter  

Blowing kisses in the autumn air  

Blowing kisses in the autumn air  

Stopped on the hill, you had to be kissed  

Had a feeling we’d never forget this  

And the lady of the moon  

With silk in her loom  

Tied a knot around our promise  

That we’d always be loving, we’d always be true  

By the wax and the wane of the moon  

Though it can’t be said just what lies ahead  

I’ll love you through and through  

I’ll love you through and through  

As the tide rises, as the tides falls  

By the wax and the wane of the moon  

Though it can’t be said just want lies ahead  

I’ll love you through and through  

I’ll love you through and through
