about

Vau is a letter in the Hebrew alphabet which means a nail. So this song is about getting nailed...down by gravity; inertia; death.

Written by SwampWolf
Nylon string guitar, vocals and foot bell recorded at La Terrasse Studios.
12 string guitar recorded in SwampWolf's home.

lyrics

You think you're so clever trying to make the world a better,
place for you and I to live.
You think that it's easy trying to make the world so pleasing,
how much would you dare to give?

Cause I have seen the hammer coming down,
by the rusty nail I am bound,
and my horse is tired from the weight,
and my love is tied down by my hate.

You think that you understand how the ocean turns to sand,
why don't you take off your shoes?
You think that you comprehend why we walk hand in hand,
it won't save us from the blues.

Cause I have seen the hammer coming down,
by the rusty nail I am bound,
and my horse is tired from the weight,
and my love is tied down by my hate.

And I am just a man who crawled out of the storm,
I'll never be forgotten, just given to the worm.

You need consultation, all that masturbation,
isn't quite enough for you.
Don't give me no hesitation, yeah, these hands are inspiration,
holding on to all that's true.

Cause I have seen the hammer coming down,
by the rusty nail I am bound,
and my horse is tired from the weight,
and my love is tied down by my hate.

And I am just a man who crawled out of the storm,
I'll never be forgotten, just given to the worm.

SwampWolf Vancouver, British Columbia

Eerie and crawling, yet sharp and quick, his sound is holistic and relentless, invoking various genres such as blues, folk, gypsy, jazz, electronic, indie. He is a multi-instrumentalist and produces all of his own music. ... more
