"Backstage With The Modern Dancers" Lyrics:
Backstage with the modern dancers
She was stretching her arms,
Configuring her body.
While they were breathing, they were shouting.
She was concentrating on her breathing
And didn't seem to mind,
As I sat there on the couch,
And tuned my guitar,
And played a few chords
Like roses growing their thorns.
Getting ready to perform
With bare feet and painted faces,
They took their places,
On shivering legs beneath colourful gowns.

And out there on the wooden floors,
The sweat from their pores.
I'm writing a list
Of songs I can sing by myself.
Backstage with the modern dancers,
Who feel it, like I do.
Like I feel it, like I feel it.
Backstage with the modern dancers,
Getting ready to go on,
She showed me her spin,
With a beauty lit from within.

And all of these things,
I don't think they should be released

Not only is this a lovely song but the video that accompanies is artistically supportive to the music .

It is in perfect balance (neither diminishing, nor overstepping) to the best qualities of the song.

The images of the people, (are they even actors) ...especially the beautifully understated quality of the dancer, who subtly captures the subject of the lyrics.

( Clearly, the unkind comments from "escotinho" show that they don't know "dick"...pardon the expression). Great Work GLS !!!

I love GLS!!! Unique, original, takin' it at their own pace! Video schmideo! It's all about the music. Great chord changes, great melodies! Neil would be proud of his fellow canadiens!

[escotinho]

Great song. The video, though, is so bad that it almost ruins the effect. What's with all the two-bit actors? The girl's dancing doesn't quite match the beauty of the song.
