about

Secret was written and demoed in 2003, and has always remained–in my opinion–a standout owenshire song. For more info on its meaning and creation, listen to the [forthcoming] song commentary. For now, enjoy the hooks, harmonies, and hurt. Recorded proper: 2020. From the Melisma album

lyrics

Hey there, where’re you going?
You walked it off.
But we need this conflict resolved
You were a part of it all
You were a part of this all
The setting sun
Those week-end tears shed by everyone
That fall as rain, that fall with a thud
Collected in puddles
Can’t see my reflection at all
You were a part of it all
We need this conflict resolved
This was the start of it all
This was the start of it

I don’t know,
I don’t know how to take this
Impatience.
I don’t know,
I don’t know how to take this
That fragrance
God must have been mistaken
I don’t know how to take this.
God must have been mistaken

For forty days, or forty years
The floods raged
And the earth disappeared

A Rainbow
But where’s it going?
The colours are off
We’ve always had mixed results
We need this conflict resolved
You were a part of it all
The setting sun
The animals can’t see their reflections at all.
You were a part of this all
We need this conflict resolved
This was the start of it all
This was the start of it.

I don’t know,
I don’t know how to take this
Impatience
I don't know
I don’t know how to take this
That fragrance
God must have been mistaken
I don’t know how to take this
God must have been mistaken

Oh, the setting sun
Some eighty years lived by everyone
That fall as rain, or fall with a thud
Collected in puddles
Can’t see my reflection at all.

about

owenshire Ontario

Owenshire was born when Robert Muhlbock bought a bass guitar in 1992 and began recording dozens of bass and vocal demos under that name.

Two albums, numerous "live demos," one too-long hiatus and (most importantly) one bass distortion pedal later, Muhlbock continues to release riff-based alt. rock, scattered with lush harmonies and dotted with cryptic and/or disillusioned lyrics.
