Wooden Woodpecker Conversion
from Draining the Waterheart (Remastered 2020) by Mar de Grises
lyrics
Woodpecker A:
Pecking the rays of the sun
Watching the falling of a tree
Stop this nonsense at one!
And swallow the flow of the sea
Woodpecker B:
But wooden is the tool of fate
Drawing the dawn of my tears
Let me peck a hole in wood
And plunge myself into bliss
Wooden woodpecker:
No longer a tree I’ll call
This wooden-hearted sun in me
As a tree is what I’m now
Living the rotting of my seed
Pecking the rays of the sun
Watching the falling of a tree
Stop this nonsense at one!
And swallow the flow of the sea
Woodpecker B:
But wooden is the tool of fate
Drawing the dawn of my tears
Let me peck a hole in wood
And plunge myself into bliss
Wooden woodpecker:
No longer a tree I’ll call
This wooden-hearted sun in me
As a tree is what I’m now
Living the rotting of my seed

about
Mar de Grises Región Metropolitana, Chile
The soul of individual music is shaped by its surroundings. Mar de Grises capture the essence of their Chilean homelands from the fires of the volcanic north, through the Atacama desert, along the majestic Andes mountains, to the icy Antarctic waves washing against the southern shores. All of these environments are represented in the tidal melodies of "Streams Inwards". ... more

Shocking. They returned to their most melancholic path, without forgetting the most emblematic obscurities of their early works. Elaborate themes and compositions loaded with lethargic surroundings, a sepulchral numbness worthy of praise. The violin, the piano and the guitars amputate your skin until your body bristles. All the songs are jewels, but the beginning is overwhelming. Another way to make music without giving up your essence. Supernatural Evoken.
