about
Minus Forty-Five is the first of a series of Cornshed songs with vocals, and a preview of what to expect from the band on their upcoming releases. The song's lyrics , and overall vibe, are a story inspired by the long cold winters of North-Western Ontario.
lyrics
We started a fire in the sky
Cause' it was too cold outside
Hearth, and hide
Matter, under mind
Minus forty-five
The cedar and smoke, dawned light
This moment will pass, in due time
But something ain't right
Reflections of embers in your eyes
Minus forty-five
Sparks, they're flying now
I can't wait to discover
The trees, we'll burn em' down
To cope with the weather
I don't want to believe it
Waist deep in snow, stark white
Pray that you make it on home tonight
But they've lied, all lies
Crowned sparrow in flight
Minus forty-five
The stars, they're crying now
We have one another
The trees, we'll burn em' down
To cope with the weather
It's time we believe it
Sparks, they're flying now
I can't wait to discover
The trees, we'll burn em' down
We have one another
The stars, they're crying now
I can't wait to discover
It's time we believe it

Start from roots in folk, bluegrass, and East Coast music, and saturate in punk from the Pacific Northwest. The result is
clusterfolk: a stomping, binge-drinking, forget-about-your-next-day-of-work experience.
Cornshed is a Vancouver band with a habit of bringing hyperactive mayhem to small country towns....more
