Said The Whale - Cascadia Lyrics






I feel frozen and lonely,
I wanna wake up happy enough, welcoming sun in my bedroom
Maybe northern California
I need a dose of the sea
Sleep on the beach just for a week with no trouble
It's all irrational but somewhere there's a green and white and blue flag waving

I wanna build Cascadia
California in the sunlight
I wanna build Cascadia
Oregon Shores would be alright

I care about policy in increments, it's seasonal
I care about people and their loved ones, I do
I care about the colour of your eyes as much as I can see the way you elegantly move

I wanna build Cascadia
California in the sunlight
I wanna build Cascadio
Oregon Shores would be alright
I wanna build Cascadia
California in the spotlight
I wanna build Cascadia
Snoqualmie and the Columbia

I'm fearful of the consequence of solving all your problems
I'm happy here
I know its real
Its common ground
It's evergreen
It's mass appeal
It's underground
It's what I know
It's lost and found
It's seasonal

I wanna build Cascadia
California in the sunlight
I wanna build Cascadio
Oregon Shores would be alright
I wanna build Cascadia
California in the spotlight
I wanna build Cascadia
Snoqualmie and the Columbia

    This song is a total classic (along with the whole album) and I love driving while listening to this one, but I can't figure out if it's the music by itself, or the feeling from having previously seen this video influencing that. And that sound in "the colour of your eyes" line leading to the chorus. I also love the way so many STW songs have this unidentifiable "retro" feeling of 50s or 60s or 70s always peeking through the modern sounds. And finally, if you're trying to learn when the beats are in the chorus and can't nail it, learn where the beats AREN'T. It's way easier.

    LOVE this song: Musically, lyrically, and emotionally (I live in Cascadia). I just heard your new album reviewed on NPR's New Music Friday and thought I'd check it out. Curious: do one of the three of you play the bass part? Or do you have a studio bassist? I love the descending bass line in verse two (1:11). Look forward to seeing you in Seattle some time.

    D.... D....

    hey thank so much!! This is such a nice comment. Our friend Parker Bossley played the bass, he killed it eh!? We are announcing some Western US dates soon!!! Stay tuned to socials :)

  11. 8.... A....

    Damn, these last 3 singles are the best songs you guys have put out in ages. Absolutely loving them. If the album is anything like the singles it will be on repeat for a long time.

    8.... A....

    Can I say "I totally agree" without sounding full of myself?!! I am SO excited for this record and for everyone to hear it!! <3

    8.... A....

    @Said The Whale Yes you can! Lol. Just might have to go see you guys live again! Come back to St. Catherines and/or hamilton soon! Or Waterloo!

    C.... C....

    ooooo same! It's gonna be a very good era.

  13. F.... B....

    I like how it says "official audio" (and it may not be a music video) but there's a video... lol does that make sense?

    F.... B....

    haha well....we're calling them "vignettes". Not really "music videos" but so much nicer than just a static image with audio put to it, I think.

  14. A.... S....

    Is this highway 99 in BC Canada ????!!!! So beautiful

    A.... S....

    yeah sea to sky!

  15. d.... ....

    You have a distinct style, I immediately opened up a new tab to look for the song this reminded of. I realized it was your other song, UnAmerican. Great Job y'all!

  16. S.... ....

    Great job! This may be one of my new favorites

  17. G.... V....
