Biography:
Said the Whale is a Canadian band formed in 2007 as a collaboration between songwriters Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft. The pair’s debut EP, Taking Abalonia, featured sunny west coast indie pop, with breezy harmonies, shimmering guitars and lyrical tributes to their home city of Vancouver, “nodding at times to the sea shanties of Neutral Milk Hotel and at others to the boat-shoe-gazing of Vampire Weekend” said The National Post. In 2008, the album was re-released as Howe Sounds/Talking Abalonia

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Me and Ben played this together on the ukulele and he told me he was impressed--this is
exactly how he plays it. I'm not sure which capo will transpose from Uke to guitar, so
just experiment with these chords.
E
Lean back into the wind
C G
It’s an empty cold outside
E
I sent you back just the smoothest rock I could find
C G
Accompanied by just a couple of words came to mind
E
It’s an old concept
Sending letters again
C G
Well thought out, rehearsed and written in pen
E
Paperless here is a thing of the past
C G
I’m cutting down trees and using up gas
A C
We’ve got Mandarax and loveless sex
G B7 E
And information passing right through our skin and bones.... oh
E
Spot on with my content for the lesser known
C E
In spite of all of the rules of my own
That I break up in stride
C
Ignoring my front, back
G
Ignoring my left and my right
E
It’s my moral compass
And it’s easy to find
C G
Well thought out, intentionally left behind
E
It’s regrettable, yes
But how could I ever sleep at night?
C G
Knowing I had rules and knowing I had to abide
A C
We’ve got Mandarax and loveless sex
G B7
And information passing right through our skin and bones
C
It’s the information age
G D
Of lesser consequence to the silence
C
The information age
G D
Of fountain pens and real stationary
C
The information age
G D
Of lesser consequence to the silence
C
The information age
Em
