Garden Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes we sway
Couldn't have it any other way
Now it happened nobody's happy with it
Everybody's living through it
Must admit I get into it
[Chorus]
Don't make it harder
Hand me your hand, no time to wait
Where is the garden?
And when do we move?
Love how you move with me
[Verse 2]
Takes time
It takes time living on a razor blade
To know the way
[Chorus]
Don't make it harder
Hand me your hand, no time to wait
Where is the garden?
And when do we move?
Love how you move with me
[Verse 3]
Raised on the faith
The center's holding
And can't be broken
We were raised on the faith
The center's holding
And can't be broken
[Outro]
And now that it's started
It might not stop
The pressure dropped
Back to the garden
Look in my eyes
We'll survive
Sometimes we sway
Couldn't have it any other way
Now it happened nobody's happy with it
Everybody's living through it
Must admit I get into it
Don't make it harder
Hand me your hand, no time to wait
Where is the garden?
And when do we move?
Love how you move with me
Takes time
It takes time living on a razor blade
To know the way
Don't make it harder
Hand me your hand, no time to wait
Where is the garden?
And when do we move?
Love how you move with me
Raised on the faith
The center's holding
And can't be broken
We were raised on the faith
The center's holding
And can't be broken
And now that it's started
It might not stop
The pressure dropped
Back to the garden
Look in my eyes
We'll survive

This is about the Pandemic, or rather I think, the feeling we all got at the beginning of the Pandemic that this might become something...apocalyptic. And in a way it has. In the US at least, we are a democracy in decline. Driven to madness by divisions manufactured in the service of a greedy few. Worldwide, the wealthy elite have shown their hand as we continue to slouch into authoritarian dictatorships and oligarchies. There\'s nowhere to escape to except home. To the garden. And with a little luck, we\'ll survive. My spin on this anyway. \n\nOr you could take it from the horse\'s mouth via the Pitchfork album review: \n\n"Barlow is allotted exactly two songs, [...] a slightly mawkish song of devotion called “You Wonder,” a compelling English-folk pastiche called “Garden.”\n\nThe latter is a survival anthem, and takes its title from a sign Barlow spotted on a shed while driving through Massachusetts: Back to the Garden. “I was looking for a resolution,” Barlow explained. “Where do we go when faced with such dramatic confusion? Back to basics, back home, back to the garden.”
