10:35 - The Statuary Gardens

Where four times a year my mother and I,
Would come and tend where her late husband lies.

Come with me,
To the statuary gardens.

Every year I would follow in tow,
Holding with both arms a rake and a hoe,
To rustle up the ground and melting snow,
And give some fresh air to the bones far below.

Come with me,
To the statuary gardens.

I’ll take you on paths that I like best,
And we’ll take a seat on a cold granite crest,
We’ll chatter away about this Monday’s test,
Maybe if it's cold you’ll hold me to your breast.

Come with me,
To the statuary gardens.

You’ll see...

Even for breathing twenty-one year olds,
The gardens will wrap us in their calming folds,
And make something special,
Of the bitter spring colds.

My mother taught me well and early,
How very magical the gardens can be,
So I hope you have some time at three,
To share the unearthly beauty with me.

Come with me,
To the statuary gardens.

Go to go now, class is about to begin,
And my bastard prof remembers every sin,
But please oh please...

Come with me,
To the statuary gardens.

Come with me,
To the statuary gardens.

about

Berge & Pârvulescu Montréal, Québec

We are two students who met at McGill University.

AM was recorded over a period of 12 hours, in a small, empty classroom with a grand piano in it, and the broom closet beside it.

PM: The EP was recorded in a basement, over the course of a week, while learning the ropes of audio recording for the first time. Two songs have yet to be recorded.
