![]() All of Our Names (2004) [ larger cover art ] |
We are like pendulums
Our arms swinging at our sides
And I am a good little clock
Walking along power lines
I'm thinking like a swinging door
I'm hinging on these changing thoughts
Between the pull up to the shore
And the push off
In the lines of footprints in the snow
All along the edges of the road
And I haven't even walked my block
Since I moved out here years ago
The secret lives of twist ties
The hidden story in one line
In the lines of footprints in the snow
All along the edges of the road
And I haven't even walked my block
Since I moved out here years ago
And we are like pendulums
Our arms swinging at our sides
And I am a good little clock
I'm ticking off the time, the time
The distant lights are twinkling
It means there is a wind
That blows the trees against themselves
And hard into this house I'm sleeping in
I'm sleeping in

| Kokoloco53 (Safford, AZ) | Posted: Nov 07, 2011 - 06:32 I bought this album 5 years ago after hearing the last song, Go to Sleep, on another station, Folk Alley. Go to Sleep will mesmerize you, though it didn't put me to sleep. Almost, is her other song that has special meaning in my life about a girl that came into my life, left it, and "almost called your number" is the line. |

If you have more/better stuff, upload it, or get a friend to do it, if you're techo-challenged like me... I've never heard them, but I'm open.... |
| Art_Carnage (DeepintheheartofTexas) | Posted: Jul 21, 2010 - 14:30 Another really nice one from Sarah. |

| Jimmy86 (CA) | Posted: Feb 12, 2010 - 23:41 Beautiful & dreamy... Kinda reminds me of The Sundays, with a slightly deeper vocal... |

| Dalebarely | Posted: Apr 03, 2009 - 11:57 we need to get some Weeping Tile in the playlist |
| peter_james_bond (Lunenburg, NS) | Posted: Apr 03, 2009 - 11:57 She sounds a little like Jill Barber |
| jjbix (san diego) | Posted: Apr 03, 2009 - 11:56 the more I hear, the more I want to listen . . . |

Don't know the album, but this definitely is catchy. |
| coldatlantic (Toronto) | Posted: Apr 21, 2008 - 06:28 A catchy opener to a solid album. |
| Alifreckles50 (Frederick, MD) | Posted: Feb 18, 2008 - 06:45 nice images - a bit sad, but hopeful |
| Inamorato (Twin Cities) | Posted: Jan 17, 2008 - 19:25 I've never heard a Sarah Harmer song I haven't liked. |
| Zamoeba (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Oct 15, 2007 - 15:13 Splendid. She has a very powerful voice and the harmonic structure is solid as hell. |

| buddy213 (Pasadena) | Posted: Sep 20, 2005 - 23:08 Kind of reminds me of Sarah Harmer |

Kind of Frou Frou with Indigo Girls qualities mixed in. Sleepy, but nice. |
| pousso (Peterborough, ON) | Posted: Jun 02, 2005 - 13:31 Excellent! Her work with Weeping Tile is good to listen to as well. |

Damn straight. I normally find most of this type of music pedestrian pap, but her voice pulls it straight out of the trash-heap. |
| niv (Nahariya, NJ) | Posted: Apr 13, 2005 - 14:42 kind of riminds me of frou frou. Need to listen to more.. |
| Leslie (Antioch, CA) | Posted: Apr 13, 2005 - 14:28 This woman's voice is really nice. Kind of soothing. |
| dirtroosters | Posted: Mar 23, 2005 - 12:14 I will make the comment that she is great (all three songs I've heard - thanks to RP). Must check out more...... |
| Trustocity (Boston, baby) | Posted: Mar 21, 2005 - 06:43 I'm here, I'm here! Sorry to be late, but there was a semi-truck on the shoulder, and a cop asking him what he's doing, and everyone had to slow down and look, and you know how it is. Sarah is most excellent. She's a lovely way to start the day. This is one of my favorites, as well. |
