Green Grass of Tunnel

Múm

A song I’ve been in love with since 2002. We had just moved to LA after a script I wrote called MVP was optioned by a new production company. The entire experience turned out to be a nightmare though. But, Annie and I persisted and it took another 5 years and a 2nd option to get re-titled CALVIN MARSHALL produced. It was an exciting time and I learned a lot about myself. This track is from an electro-pop record called FINALLY WE ARE NO ONE — an ironic title I love because it makes me think of striving for humility. Those years in LA were humbling, and this luscious little song was like medicine and landed on many of my home burned CD’s.

Down from the ceiling leaks a great noise
It drips on my head through a hole in the roof
Behind these two hills here there's a pool
And when I'm swimming in through a tunnel
I shut my eyes inside the cupboard
I make sounds and through the tubes I send this noise
Behind these two hill here I fall asleep
And when I'm floating green grass of tunnel
It flows back down from the ceiling, leaks a great noise
It drips on my head through a hole in the roof
Behind these two hills here there's a pool
And when I'm swimming in through a tunnel I shut my eyes
