Biography:
Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Richmond, VA's Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal – that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. Since 1992, the band has succeeded in doing just that -- and on its third Vanguard release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman, has created a soundtrack suitable for multiple worlds.
“For me, this is an album that’s focused on growth and maturity, but it’s not deadly serious,” says front man Barry Privett.

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!
Hi there, fellow Carbon Leaf fan. Make sure you feel the abrupt change between the
groovier first half of the song and the faster, less syncopated second half. And if at all
get some vocal harmonies for the "whittle away, whittle away" part. Enjoy!

Verse 1:
D G D
G D
I lit a light on my gloom, and now there's only a half-moon
D G D
G D
I need to find a way home, on the moon to be alone
D G D
And so we make our way through the sand of a sullen day
G D
Whittle away, whittle away
D G D
Dreaming in ether, leave atmosphere, breathing in Neptune's chandelier
G D
Whittle away, whittle away
Chorus:
A D A D
Lift away and float it on into space
A D G A D
Into the sublime celestial brine… It's almost time
Verse 2:
I made it up in my room, from a dream it is rough hewn
(Home) Whittle away, whittle away
I make a vessel for home, carve it out with a gemstone
(Home) Whittle away, whittle away
Land of sorrow, sift away through the sand of a sullen day
(Home) Whittle away, whittle away
Dreaming in ether, leave atmosphere, breathing in Neptune's chandelier
(Home) Whittle away, whittle away
Chorus
1st Verse & Chorus fast
Outro (still fast):
D A C G
D
It's almost time to ride, align, melt these hemispheres into one
A C
G
Dull and Shine intertwine, I'm torn away, I'm up and down, it's almost time
D A
Now I am sailing, sailing
C G
Through the light and the gloom of the sun and the moon
D A
And I am sailing, sailing
C G
Through the light and the gloom of the sun and the moon
D A C G
Hey, hey moon, I think I figured it out, I think I'm coming about
D A C
Now I am sailing, sailing through the light and the gloom
G D
My whole world is in tune and so much clearer now...
