LYRICS:
I’ve heard this tune before
Independence from what
It’s early Washington
But I can’t keep my eyes shut
Get in the car, let’s go
See where we end up tomorrow
We live in cursive
Bring me back down again

I’ve heard this tune before
In the 1990’s probably
We built a prison cell
It’s a handmade do-it-yourself
Take the guitar instead 
Smash it in a million pieces
We’re close, I’ve found it
Freedom ain’t where you think 

I’ve heard this tune before
Independence from what
It’s early Washington 
But I can’t keep my eyes shut
In part, I’m angry
Frustrated by the lapsing time
Listen here, I’m doing just fine
This heatwave is clouding my mind
Get in the car, let’s go
Whatcha think about Colorado
We live in cursive
Bring me back down again

Timber Choir is an ongoing musical collaboration started in 2020 by two lifelong friends: SC-based singer/songwriter Adam Sams and Nashville-based producer/engineer/mixer Brendan St. Gelais. Characterized by thoughtful acoustic layering and intricate vocal textures, the songs are lyrical snapshots of daily life. Timber Choir is a celebration of the slower pace – finding fulfillment in enduring relationships and shared place.
