lyrics

O Sedna
Conceived by your father
In a bedroom surrounded by fire
O Sedna
Destroyed by your father
Cast out of a vessel encircled by water

Your fingers & your bones
Dropped down to the ocean floor
Life grows where there was
No life before
I am ruined, I am born
Out of the wreckage of her bones
She is with me now, I am her
She is coming to the surface
She is beautiful, resurrects
& gives her body to the ocean

What her father pushes overboard
Mother receives her
& transforms

Recorded, mixed & mastered in Toronto, the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, the Wendat and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. I am grateful to live and create on this land and in this territory.

"Waves" is inspired by the traditional Inuit story of Sedna, the goddess of the sea.

This album was made possible by the generous support of the Ontario Arts Council and FACTOR.
