Carbon Leaf Plays 9:30
Carbon Leaf performed at the 9:30 Club Wednesday night, September 7, 2005.
I can’t begin to explain how amazing I think Carbon Leaf is. The music is beautiful and the lyrics are poetry. I’ve been listening to them for a few years now.
Their most recent album, Indian Summer, with songs like “What About Everything?” and “Let Your Troubles Roll By,” helped me cope with the death of my grandfather and the tragic death of a friend. And my boyfriend and I can’t help but smile at each other, or hug, or hold hands when we hear “Life Less Ordinary.” Though I couldn’t imagine how they would follow their amazing 2001 CD Echo Echo, Indian Summer is just fantastic.
If you get a chance to see them live, do not pass it up.
What about everything?
What about aeroplanes?
And what about ships that drank the sea?
What about…
What about the moon and stars?
What about soldier battle scars
And all the anger that they eat?
What about…
What about aliens? What about you and me and…
What about gold beneath the sea?
What about…
What about when buildings fall?
What about that midnight phone call…
The one that wakes you from your peace?
Well, I am not, I am not, I am not in need
