simply simple

I owe Jian a great deal. I mean, I'm a Stuck-at-Home Mom... when do I get to hear new music?? 


Almost a year ago now Mother Mother played Q live in studio, and then soon afterwards I heard them on Live 88.5 (our local 'alternative' station). Since then I've infected both of the kids, one of which is doing an English assignment on the video for The Stand.

The other one is using K'naan's Wavin Flag for her unrelated assignment. Weird, huh? Both of 'em doing video analysis and they're not in the same grade... heck not even in the same school! 

We've been doing a lot of determining, listening and analyzing of lyrics in this house for the past week or so. (no... no Mondegreens to speak of unfortunately) 

During my online voyage to help them with their schoolwork I came across the video below. I knew from listening to the band on Q that they 'could sing' and weren't processed y'know? But geez they sound good! 

And then, just cuz I've been listening to all those lyrics I wrote down the ones to this song too. Aw, you're welcome!

take me lightly, I am not the way I ought to be

I’m just the way I’ve got to be

take me slowly or else you may come by injury

I’ll hurt you emotionally

rock me baby until my eyes are closed and I’m asleep

and then it’s safe for you to leave

call me lazy for I have yet to let my soul free

it’s still very much in my reach, oh

I just want it to unfold

simply simple

I do everything I’m told

to keep it simple

you want babies, well here I am

so why now aren’t you pleased with a big baby like me?

I throw a fit and you trip to pick up after it

domesticated bliss ain’t it, oh no

I just want it to unfold

simply simple

I do everything I’m told

to keep it simple

simply simple

I just want it to unfold

and I do everything I’m told

and I just want it to unfold

simply simple
