about

Originally written in 1998 during our stay in Finland, we were super excited to finally take this beauty into the studio. Filling the spot to the "ballad" on the album, it is very much a "ballad" in the original sense, a narrative song, originating from Scandinavian and Germanic traditions of storytelling that can be seen in poems such as Beowulf. But instead of an over-the-top human hero, we sing about the amazing wise ducks who gather once a year to exchange wisdom - a celebration of the infinite wisdom and beauty of nature!

lyrics

And when the ducks came in flight
And the sea winds were storming
One knew what a great day did break!

And when the blackcherry night turned into a blueberry morning
In expectation the island did wake
And when the ducks came in flight
And the sea winds were storming
One knew what a great day did break!

And when the blueberry morning turned into a sunflower day
The ducks they all came together
And beat their wings to the sun and stuck their heads to the wind
For this is the way ducks do gather!

An island is chosen by voices of ducks
To be island of ducks for one year.
On one glorious day in this circle of time
The great ducks do all gather here!
Our wings carry wisdom, our eyes know the world
And all of us share what we learned.
Of knowledge and secrets and ways of the world
And things only ducks could have heard.

And when the sunflower day turned into a raspberry eve
The ducks stuck their heads to their feathers
And under orangy light the isle burst with pride
For here it was the great ducks had gathered!

And when the raspberry eve turned into a blackcherry night
The island had sunken to dreams.
But the ducks they did wake and flew swift with the winds
Far away, to the stars, so it seems!

An island is chosen by voices of ducks
To be island of ducks for one year.
On one glorious day in this circle of time
The great ducks do all gather here!
Our wings carry wisdom, our eyes know the world
And all of us share what we learned.
Knowledge and secrets and ways of the world
And things only ducks could have heard.
