Reminds me of home....

I was lost in the lakes And the shapes that your body makes That your body makes, that your body makes That your body makes The mountains said I could find you here They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear I traced my finger along your trails Your body was the map, I was lost in it Floating over your rocky spine The glaciers made you, and now you're mine Floating over your rocky spine The glaciers made you, and now you're mine I was moving across your frozen veneer The sky was dark but you were clear Could you feel my footsteps And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you And with your soft fingers between my claws Like purity against resolve I could tell, then and there, that we were formed from the clay And came from the rocks for the earth to display They told me to be careful up there Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair They told me to be careful up there Where the wind rages through your hair

By far the most beautiful synchronization of nature and physical attraction. So clean and organic- become a favorite!

If my memory serves me correctly, this song was pre-loaded on the Microsoft Zune media player with a handful of other songs. It’s the first time I ever heard the song. I deleted all the other pre-loads. I still listen to this song regularly.

I like everything from Judas Priest to Adele and this has been one of my favourite songs since I first heard it almost 10 years ago.

This is going to be my wedding song =)

Yup, I like the whole era of retro-folk that happened 2010 or so. Basia Bulat etc.

I am speechless. Just looked them up from an e-mail for pre-ticket sales for their April show in Toronto. Best band I've never heard or heard of before. Love this song. It's honest, and haunting.

This song came on a Pandora station. It put the hook in me and I cannot stop listening to it. Takes me away from everyday life to a better place. It is just sublime.

Beautiful. It's getting tougher and tougher to find beauty in the current midst of ugly. Thank-you.

I'm a late comer to Great Lakes Swimmers but I love them - they're not afraid to try new arrangements and styles, though I love their folk/blugrass sound the best.

Imagine listening to this over and over while driving through the Canadian Rockies. That has been one of the best experiences of my life!

Most underrated Canadian Band.

I will be reminiscing about memories of you, Byron.

the glaciers made us & now we're ours

Was driving to work one day and the radio announcer said this: "If weed is the gateway drug, and if bacon is the gateway meat, then this song is the gateway for folk music." Made for a nice drive while watching the sun come up. Such a beautiful and captivating song.

Tears in my eyes every time i listen to the lyrics

Dekker puts the world at ease. His vulnerability helped me humble myself in tough times and gave me have a peaceful outlet from lives rough patches. Beautiful musician.

Weeds showed me this song (and a lot of other songs). And I come back every time to listen. Thank you, Weeds and family Botwin!

I can’t believe I’m new to this song and group. So happy to have found now versus never because they are the breath of fresh air and change I’ve needed. Thank you. ❤️👏💐

This is pure Ontario

The Facebook page for this band randomly came up on my computer today. I had no idea where it came from and I hadn't clicked on anything. I wasn't even on Facebook at the time. I decided I had to check them out. I am absolutely sure that it was a message from God telling me to listen to this band, because I am now obsessed with their beautiful music. Just needed to share that story.

Dedicated to nobody. with love

Watched them live last night in Bancroft. Great show

Anywhere north of SF is awesome anytime, but then again so is the deep southern desert after a rain:) the former less rare than the latter. I love them both equally. It only rains a few times a year in the desert, if you are there at the right time- it's amazingly beautiful!

One of Canada's Great Bands.

I'm actually really glad that Great Lake Swimmers is gaining attention through Weeds. They're such a fantastic band.

I'm not sure it gets any better than this.

Omg, I love this band. I am so inspired and turned on...

YAY! For Great Lake's getting some exposure on American Idol last night. =)

"Take me Home" brought me here.. After some research. Love this song. :)

God dang I come back to this every day just for the instrumental alone!!! Like at the very end the way he plucks that hammer on whatever you call it like fr correct me, it's so beautiful. It reminds me of that cartoon image of a long windy hilly road out in the backwoods and that last strum is the last sight of the car. So calming

Beautiful. This makes me want to stand on a mountain with the wind n my hair and my skirt.. wow! What I feeling.. could listen to this forever. Bad arse!!

I played a show with the banjo player Erik he's a really sick guy! Sick song!

i love this band i've been lucky enough to see them twice and really want to see them again!!! such nice guys too! :)

great band. these guys are genius. what an amazing awesome song

I love this song.The lyrics and the band are unusually moving.

Definitely just watched them a few hours ago. They were great! I was real stoked to hear this song. I showed up a little late but right before they played this song. :D

So much nostalgia in this song

A young fella at work and I had been talking about Poco, New Riders and other groups from my early daize (no sic here). I asked him if there was anything comparable today. He mentioned this singer and let me listen to this on his Ipod or pad and wow...loved it. There is hope for you young folk.

I love this song.it means so much more when solo hiking..

I saw them at Club DaDa in Dallas Deep Ellum. They were amazing.

rest in peace Byron

This song is brilliant.

i love stuff like this and " the dead south"

You guys keep it up, it's also nice to see you playing a Canadian made instrument, the Seagull S6. TheRumRunner

What a pretty song.

Love this song. Great band. They're playing here in Louisville Kentucky tonight at a free outdoors event! :]

The best song EVER ! Thank you!

loved this song since it came out great song to listen to when your driven around, or just listening to it period.

Awesome lyrics. Reminds me of Jimmy Dale Gilmore's brilliant "Tonight I Think I'm gonna go Downtown".

Fantastic lyrics. Great beat.

I just heard it on Weeds too, it's beautiful. I wish it were longer :(

That is some good shit, right there.

Thank god for Indie Folk

Lol, there is too much hate for such a beautiful song. GLS is just a great, easy band to listen to and talented beyond belief. Labels can go away for all I care.

Looking forward to seeing you play at this year's Pigeon Lake Music Festival!!!

Instantly in love :)

Brilliant!

i swear I've heard this song somewhere...but where...by the way....like the other song pulling on the line....the more i listen to it the more addictive it becomes...i love these guys!

Best Clawhammer Banjo!!!!

Amazing!

They are really a wonderful band and still somehow buried by the music industry and popular radio who would still have us listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young instead of Great Lake Swimmers. ...oye vey!

Love!

great song -- unique!!

It's almost 3 in the morning and I just finished watching that episode of Weeds on Netflix when U-turn dies and I had to find this song. I could not stop laughing after seeing the top comment.

heard this on a station called shore 104,3 loved it

amazing
