BIG BLACK BAG is a song about resilience, finding strength in yourself and those around around you who care, and an alternative to 'the dark path'. It's a single that was taken from the Greenshine album 'New Moon on Friday' (see www.greenshine.bandcamp.com)

New Moon On Friday

Big Black Bag

BIG BLACK BAG

[Verse]
The sky is heavy it won’t let me go
Hangs on my shoulders rains on my show
I thought I’d find you by the morning's grace
But all I see is time’s unkind trace

[Verse 2]
The river hums but it don't soothe my pain
The current whispers yet it feels in vain
Each ripple dances like you once did too
But they don't lead me back to you

[Chorus]
It’s a blue day a loner’s parade
Every color fades every light betrayed
If I close my eyes can I find my way
Or will the blue just stay blue day after day

[Verse 3]
The wind keeps calling your name through the trees
But the echoes mock they don’t bring me peace
The paths we walked are now empty and cold
The stories we shared now left untold

[Bridge]
The silence shouts louder than I can sing
The weight of love it’s a haunting thing
But if I let go will I lose your face
Or will it linger in some quiet place

[Chorus]
It’s a blue day a loner’s parade
Every color fades every light betrayed
If I close my eyes can I find my way
Or will the blue just stay blue day after day

Blue Day

A little girl can survive and grow up - but with scars, some seen and some hidden. You can take a girl out of Gaza ... Yemen ... Donetz ... Sudan ...

For hours and hours now
I have showered and showered
trying to wash away my sins.
But as soon as one sin goes
another one shows up and jumps in.
It's not about splashing the cash-
dirty money won't change a thing.

Once my skin had a beautiful tan
but now I am a very pale white man
screwed by the midday news
that you can bathe and bathe away
but your sins will stay on your skin.
They will stay forever and a day.

I might grow blue with the cold,
sing the blues until I'm old,
buy myself a burial plot
in the field of the forgotten.
White cotton hair. Aching bones.
I have been rubbish at atonement.

(chorus)
Can you find it
.....in yourself to be kind.
Bring me a very large towel
and help me sit and unwind.
Let me howl like a hurt canine.

I've been the victim of sin
from when I was a baby child.
I was wild. I was disquieting.
I grew to kiss every known sin
on its Cupid chinny chin chin.
I let sin be the light in my life.
It brought me pleasure and strife.
It brought me immeasurable pain.

I'm going to
swiftly get back in that shower-
let it rain,
.....let it rain,
..........let it rain.
Please God let me back in.
Let me sneak back in
.....and I'll never speak of sin again.

Oh! Can you find it
.....in yourself to be kind.
Bring me a very large towel
and help me sit and unwind.
Let me howl like a hurt canine.

I've been the victim of sin
from when I was a baby child.
I was wild. I was disquieting.
I grew to kiss every known sin
on its Cupid chinny chin chin.
I let sin be the light in my life.
It brought me pleasure and strife.
It brought me immeasurable pain.

I'm going to 
swiftly get back in that shower-
let it rain,
.....let it rain,
..........let it rain.
Please God let me back in.
Let me sneak back in
.....and I'll never speak of sin again.

Please God let me back in.
Let me sneak back in
.....and I'll never speak of sin again.

Please God let me back in.
Let me sneak back in
.....and I'll never speak of sin again.

Please God let me back in.
Let me sneak back in
.....and I'll never speak of sin again.

LET ME BACK IN

In a world full of trends and chasing the next big thing. Sometimes it best just to take a step back, be honest and be yourself. 
 
Music is a very personal thing, and Nanuk writes songs from where it counts. You might not like every song and that’s ok. But the ones you do, will stay with you forever. Life is a journey.
