"See You On The Moon"
When I grow up maybe I'll be a veterinarian. I'll take care of little animals like ponies and parakeets and i'll give them food to eat and the puppies go "yip, yip, yip" and the kitties go "meow, meow, meow" and thank you veterinarian.
maybe I'll be an astronaut and work for NASA. maybe I'll see you on the moon, I'll see you on the moon, I'll see you on the moon.
There's lots of things that you can be, when you grow up, just wait and see.
When I grow up maybe I'll be a farmer. grow all kinds of food to eat like shiny apples red or green or fields of corn for dinnertime I'll drive my tractor in the sun while the chickens go "bock, bock, bock" and the cows go "moo, moo, moo" and thank you farmer.
maybe I'll be an astronaut and work for NASA. maybe I'll see you on the moon, I'll see you on the moon, I'll see you on the moon.
When I grow up maybe I'll be a carpenter, and build a big, long house for people and their families and I'll build it out of wood and bricks with a porch where people can sit and the hammers go "knock, knock, knock" and the saws go "chop, chop, chop" and thank you carpenter.
There's lots of things that you can be, we are free to be you and me.
When I grow up maybe I'll be a singer in a band and I'll drive all across the land with my friends all in the van and I'll sing into a microphone but when it's over, I'll come home while the people go "clap, clap, clap" and the drummer goes "tap, tap, tap" and thank you singer.
maybe I'll be an astronaut and work for NASA. maybe I'll see you on the moon, I'll see you on the moon, I'll see you on the moon.
There's lots of things that you can be, when you grow up just wait and see. There's lots of things that we can be, when we grow up, just wait and see, see.
“ Music is interesting because it brings people together, and the more that I do this the more I realize the importance to that. ”
—Tony Dekker, Great Lake Swimmers
Great Lake Swimmers is a Canadian band built around the melodic folk rock songs of singer-songwriter Tony Dekker. Originally from Wainfleet, Ontario,[1] the band is currently based in Toronto.
The current touring line-up includes Tony Dekker on lead vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica, Erik Arnesen on banjo, electric guitar and harmonium, Greg Millson on drums, Bret Higgins on upright bass and Miranda Mulholland on violin and backing vocals. Past members included Julie Fader, now a solo singer-songwriter, on backing vocals, Sandro Perri on guitar, and Colin Huebert, now associated with the band Siskiyou, on drums.
The band's style has been compared to Red House Painters, Nick Drake, Iron & Wine and Neil Young,[2] as well as Will Oldham[3] (Bonnie "Prince" Billy) and Sufjan Stevens.[4] Dekker has said his influences include Gram Parsons and Hank Williams.[5]
加拿大最近幾年一直出現不錯的獨立樂團，但團名都取得不怎麼樣。
Great Lake Swimmers，來自安大略，帶著淡淡哀愁的民謠搖滾樂團，令人想起Nick Drake、Red House Painters。
Great Lake Swimmers的主唱、詞曲創作Tony Dekker已等同於該樂隊的另一代名詞。
來自加拿大多倫多的Great Lake Swimmers以搖滾與民謠為基礎，散發的風格作品書寫以人的關懷為本，音樂往往在憂怨的旋律低迴間、淡愁淺吟的輕訴下，點點透散出他們對於故鄉土地的擁抱、熱愛。
Great Lake Swimmers同樣的表達了對於家鄉加拿大自然環境的關懷，並強調了人與大自然土地間的相互關係探討。在編曲架構上則仍是以吉他的彈奏為核心，其間也穿插了非常好聽的斑鳩琴。
