about

With "Through and Through," we picture the kind of love where big dreams come to life and the world shines in technicolour. Our coastal hometown of Halifax, Canada makes its way into this song through images of beach and tide, as does Montreal, the place of our formative years as a band: "trees brushing by in shades of fall, by a maple parasol." Beyond the cinematic imagery and biographical details, we also tried to capture something deeper that we feel—a movement from the early excitement of puppy love to something more patient and constant. It’s a quiet undercurrent that flows through beautiful and true things in our world. It's what I feel when I'm with Luke. :)
-Sarah

lyrics

We stayed up late on the beach
Sharing the worries we keep
The things that we hide
Hoping the tide
Would wash them away gently, gently

You made me feel so at home
Free as a kid skipping stones
Our hearts set at ease
It was just you and me
And the waves whispered a poem
By the stars in the sky, we wondered why
And who we’re supposed to be
You held me tight
in the cool of the night
And our cares rolled away with the sea, sea, sea
Our cares rolled away with the sea

Hopped on the train to Montreal
Trees brushing by in shades of fall
Played Saint Anne’s reel
On silver and steel
By a maple parasol

And the man on the moon with milk in his spoon
Poured a drop of white on your hair
In a ripple on the water
We saw our granddaughter
Blowing kisses in the autumn air
Blowing kisses in the autumn air

Stopped on the hill, you had to be kissed
Had a feeling we’d never forget this
And the lady of the moon
With silk in her loom
Tied a knot around our promise

That we’d always be loving, we’d always be true
By the wax and the wane of the moon
Though it can’t be said just what lies ahead
I’ll love you through and through
I’ll love you through and through

As the tide rises, as the tides falls
By the wax and the wane of the moon
Though it can’t be said just want lies ahead
I’ll love you through and through
I’ll love you through and through
