lyrics

Man’s a funny creature
He wants spiritual insurance
He’ll turn to the preacher
For his immortal reassurance
He’ll proclaim undying faith
While filled with doubt and pain
When all the proof he’ll ever need
Is all around him

In the name of his god’s heaven
He’ll destroy his earthly kingdom
The world that he was given
The gift that his god gave him
His self-righteous self-destruction
Born of doubt and cynicism
When all the proof he’ll ever need
Is all around him

The light reflecting off a million motes of dust
The wondrous communion shared in music
The beauty of a clear blue sky
Makes me have to wonder why
The sacredness of our existence
Still needs proving

You want proof of god’s existence?
Adopt an orphan, have a baby
Or fall in love without resistance
No conditions in your heart
And when disaster strikes and mistakes are made
Watch strangers band together
And all the proof you’ll ever need
Is all around us

The light reflecting off a million motes of dust…

One love, one heart
Turns to another in the dark
And in a second, in a moment
In a flash, in a spark
All the proof you’ll ever need
Is all around us

Thirteen years after 2004’s “Could’ve Been King," Blair Packham returned with a collection of clever and heartfelt songs, called “Unpopular Pop.” A bit Beatle-y, with shades of Elvis Costello, Blair’s songs are undeniably all his. He made the record at home and then called on Ron Sexsmith and ex-Barenaked Ladies’ Steven Page to make vocal appearances. ... more
