Текст песни Props to the Peeps (Craig Cardiff) с переводом

You’ve made it to the end. Thanks for listening. This is Craig and I just

wanted to take a minute to thank the people that have been involved wish this

project, and talk a bit about the songs, and all that good stuff

While we’re on the topic, I’d like to thank all the people that’ve lent their

ears, the fans, and promoters, and media types who have given a push to this

whole project along the way. If it hadn’t been for them, it wouldn’t have

gotten this far

I guess about these songs, it’s a collection of mostly new material.

Some of it’s old, like «Dance Me Outside». That in the most recent bunch of

shows have just kind of come together and seemed to all fit. I thought it’d be

neat to record them and just present them with acoustic guitar and vocals.

Keeping it simple

The song «Albion Hotel» is, surprise, surprise, about the esteemed Albion Hotel

in Guelph, Ontario. Directly across from the church on the hill.

The Albion is one of those filthy old bars that every town has that’s super

great and serves 18 year olds and all that good stuff. Yeah, I don’t know.

Just a story about a friend who was living there for a bit

The song «Dance Me Outside» is about a native Canadian woman in Brantford in

the 70's who was having some problems and blocking the road, and just talking

about how she was treated. It’s kind of sad given the recent stuff that’s been

happening in Saskatchewan with police and native Canadians there.

It borrows a title of Bruce McDonald’s film, «Dance Me Outside».

I managed to use the words «donut guard state car» in a song, so I was pretty

excited about that

Other songs… «Happiest» is a song about when Danielle and I were camping at

Peggy’s Cove. That’s where the first line comes from. Just trying to collect

thoughts and journal them into a song. I guess that’s the best thing to say

about «Happiest»

The song «That Band» is mostly true. A bunch of the lines got written when Paul,

and Will, and I were in Cleveland at this folk festival performer thing and we

were watching all these amazing players. There was Buddy Guy, and just

enormously talented people playing in hotel rooms for festival promoters and

just how realizing how big big music is, and how it’s a business sometimes,

it’s a necessary evil I guess

The song «Jokes» is just about, it’s a silly little love song. And kind of

meant to make the person you care about laugh and smile

That’s pretty much it. There’s a surprise after this message, though.

Keep listening. It’s a song that, I guess my parents used to play cassettes

for us kids and one of the cassettes they bought featured this song.

It’s kind of like, as children of the 80s we reclaim it a little bit and

re-present it as folk

I’d like to thank Susan, and Catharine, Liz, and old lady Patootz (?).

Charlie Cardiff, and of course Danielley, Jonathan & Will for listening and

their patience this past year

Credit also goes out to Paul McInnes and Paul Matthews for putting up with me

so long on all these different tours and projects. The long drives in the beat

up old aerostar and falling asleep at the wheel and hanging out in smokey bars,

bad soundchecks, and peanut butter and beer, and all that good stuff.

Thanks a lot for sticking around

Lastly to everyone who’s ever actually listened to that person in the corner of

the bar with a guitar, when they’re meant to be background noise,

but you actually give them your ear or you bought a CD or a t-shirt from that

band you just heard of when they were coming through town, thanks very much

Thanks a lot for listening. Hope to see you soon
