    Only discovered this group through their incredible cover of "White Rabbit," but have been amazed by each and every subsequent performance that I'ver seen. THEY are not only incredible - beyond the awesome vocals of Bonnie Paine - but each of the instrumentalists (viola, guitar, bass) are so totally awesome! I clearly need to win the PowerBall so I can bring them to our local venue out in the middle of nowhere !!!!!!!!!!

      ​@@JohnBender1313 it was my love of Tool that brought me here too. I can scarcely believe it led me to a band who straddle all the sub-genres of music I typically can't be arsed with, and yet I think they're one of the best bands I've ever heard! 😅

    I’m a little confused. Not about how much I am astounded by and in love with their music. I only found them a week ago and started researching about them. I don’t know whether they are still performing together, but from what I’ve read, it appears not. Life moves us on and I can live with that. But I’m gonna mourn if they’re not together.

      My understanding is that they never "broke up" but they didn't want to be a band touring full-time anymore. So each individual member is pursuing their own thing, but they still play shows together occasionally.

    Once I was a big drop of water
    I was in the desert
    I was in high
    Was in high demand
    Saw you turn, saw you turn, turn away
    Water came down, hit the dry ground
    Lost all the facts, slipped through the cracks
    Spread around
    Under and down
    Down through the ground
    Carry on, now beyond
    Past where all the dancing rained like thunder
    After laughter and music, different sounds
    To where the thunder became something
    Like the pulsing of the flowers
    Which is something like the nothing
    Like the pulsing like the hours
    But the hour was on time because I slipped into a flower
    Recalled the time to climb the line
    A honeysuckle tower
    I was water brought to lifted leaves
    Of daffodils and daily leaves
    Drank into the grace of trees
    The aspens like the willows weep
    It hung so low
    It touched below
    The surface of
    A still puddle
    Did I behold
    Reflection told
    Looking back at me
    The eyes of my body
    So I jumped in
    Back into my skin
    And sang this song
    Of where I'd been
    Once I was a big drop of water
    I spread around and became part of many living in the land
    Saw you turn when I turned, turned away
    In the still, in the still water
    And we're still water
