TWO GREAT PROMISES

Basia Bulat - “The Shore” For “The Shore,” from Basia Bulat's upcoming second album, Basia brings only her autoharp. She carries it alone. & this song, too, feels like something to carry alone, cradled. You do not sing “The Shore” in chorus with your friends, arms on shoulders. You bring it with you when you pace in boots through the sand, pass through the poplars, walk the cracked sidewalk slabs of chez toi, snowdrifts rising. She sings of love, and storms, and of safe harbour; and you can hear the lighthouses skimming, somewhere out there, sending glances across the bay; and looking for you.
[for Heart Of My Own, recorded again with Howard Bilerman, Basia wrote new songs and still sung her heart out / it is released January 25 / pre-order / Listen to "Gold Rush" / see her on tour]
