about

Story inspired by an aboriginal recounting from Western Australia, where the land that people once walked was covered by rising oceans and left to be watched over by the whales. As old and sacred mountains turned into a small island, the process of the ancient pilgrimage was entrusted to the whales of the great oceans west of Australia. The story of the ancient pilgrimage lives on, nearly 50,000 years later.

lyrics

The Way I Answer
Joshua Polaris, 2021

Floating in Motion
Which one's the dream
and you have been waiting
Swim down to me
Ooh
Marion's calling
She calls out to me
The Way that I Answer
Has yet to be seen
Ooh

Some want a way to move the mind
Some want a way to choose
Some want a way to shape their life
Depending on the moon
Some go the way of wind and tides
Some want the way of cloud
Some want a way to rain her down
back to here and now
I'm summoning up the whale
chanting at the sea
I'm praying that the whale
brings her back to me
I'm finding that the whale, the whale, the whale
answers me
the whale, the whale, the whale
answers..

Some want a way trust their eyes
Some want a way to proof
Some want a way to spend the night
Howling at the moon
Some want the way to fire light
Some want the way to sleep
Some want to greet the morning by
jumping in the creek
I'm summoning up the whale
chanting at the sea
I'm praying that the whale
brings her back to me
I'm finding that the whale, the whale, the whale
answers me
the whale, the whale, the whale
answers the way I answer the...
