the lyrics for no ghostless place are posted; codes and secret longing soon to follow. apologies for taking so long to make them available, and to all who have asked for the lyrics to codes and secret longing starting back in 2005 when that album first came out. it’s not that we don’t take your requests very seriously. it’s just that lyrics should always be kind of shadowy and open to interpretation. also, we can be horribly lazy.
just promise us this: if you like the words you have in your head, don’t feel the need to read the actual lyrics to check your accuracy. keep the words you have if they feel right.
codes and secret longing is now available on iTunes (and very soon, Amazon, Puretracks, and about twenty other global digital retailers). within the next couple of weeks no ghostless place will appear as well; we’ll let you know.
more shows coming very soon. and tour dates as well. we’re finally coming across Canada. and then overseas, hopefully, if you’ll have us.
be seeing you.

we seem to have been successful in towing our poor, becalmed website ashore from a dark spot in the middle of the ocean, where it has been drifting, off the map, (or at least off the tiny, smudged map we’ve always used) for the past several months.
and now, after stripping it of its black and green paint and unloading most of its cargo, we’re nudging it back out again. this time, though, we’re going to hold on to it, with really long ropes.
our new album, no ghostless place, is finished.
we also have two big shows coming up, and some music posted. and a whole lot of white space to get lost in.
more soon.
love,
raised by swans.
