about
The Turbine is the new offering from Laneway. Penned during the Great Rains of January 2011 in the forest at the Natural Bridge the slightly haunting ballad is an ode to green power...and a black sky. It was recorded with Matt Redlich in East Brisbane as the river outside found its peak during the floods. O'Reilly & Hannan were joined in the studio for the tracking of the song by Fingers Malone who played the drums, Cori who did some harmonies and Matt then played a slide solo and sang some notes.
lyrics
There's a little place where the lines don't reach
Road is dirt and the air is sweet
All the little streams meet in the creek
Runs between the mountains with the slopes so steep
The wind will howl and the wind will blow
All of the people in the valley will know
Rain will fall and the creek will flow
Water will make the turbine go
Just beyond the mountains in the south
There's a cool glow that reaches out
Down by the coast at the river mouth
The City folk race and rush about
The wind will howl and the wind will blow
All of the people in the valley will know
Rain will fall and the creek will flow
Water will make the turbine go
You Sing your song
They'll hum along
You shine their lights
Through darkened nights
But the wind will howl and the wind will blow
All of the people in the valley will know
Rain will fall and the creek will flow
Water will make the turbine go
Road is dirt and the air is sweet
All the little streams meet in the creek
Runs between the mountains with the slopes so steep
The wind will howl and the wind will blow
All of the people in the valley will know
Rain will fall and the creek will flow
Water will make the turbine go
Just beyond the mountains in the south
There's a cool glow that reaches out
Down by the coast at the river mouth
The City folk race and rush about
The wind will howl and the wind will blow
All of the people in the valley will know
Rain will fall and the creek will flow
Water will make the turbine go
You Sing your song
They'll hum along
You shine their lights
Through darkened nights
But the wind will howl and the wind will blow
All of the people in the valley will know
Rain will fall and the creek will flow
Water will make the turbine go
