Oh Larsen B Lyrics

You're fractured and cold but your heart is unbroken
My favourite foremost coastal Antarctic shelf
Oh Larsen B, oh you can fall on me
Oh Larsen B, desalinate the barren sea

Oh I, I think it's over again
Like sawblades through the air
Your winter overture
Cut through everything, and now we're not so sure
Oh Larsen B, oh won't you fall on me?

You had twelve thousand years
And now it's all over
Five hundred billion tonnes of the purest pack ice and snow
Oh Larsen B, oh won't you fall on me?
Oh Larsen B, desalinate the barren sea

Oh I think it's the start of the end
Like sawblades through the air
Your winter overture
Cut through everything, and now we're not so sure

Oh Larsen B, oh fall on me
Oh Larsen B, oh fall on me
Oh Larsen B, won't you fall on me?

Can't believe how few posts there are for BSP!

This is a love song about an Antarctic ice shelf which was in the news a while ago. Oddly enough, ice shelves don't interest me, so I'm not going to pretend I know what exactly happened in case someone corrects me.

This is easily my favourite song off Open Season, I really like the bass line.

Today (March 30th) is the birthday of Captain Carl Anton Larsen, the man who explored the Larsen ice shelf! This is also my favourite song off Open Season. The instrumental in the last half of the song is great and the lyrics are just brilliant.

Fucking brilliant that they wrote a song about the Larsen B Ice Shelf, so original, and creative. No one else would think of it.
