Biografia:
It's been three years since One Hundred Dollars' first full-length Forest of Tears was lauded for its contemporary interpretation of country music. The band also earned acclaim for its moving live performance and ability to fit on any bill, whether indie, folk, or punk, touring Canada and the US.
The new LP Songs of Man reflects a change in personnel, approach and instrumentation. Recorded to tape over twelve days at Blue Rodeo's Woodshed studio, Songs of Man contains ten distinct narrative perspectives and the sounds to match them.

Em G C Em
Em G C Em
Em G
Dusk it mimics crisis in seated summer's craze
C Em
when 9 to 5 the people work and shun smog's heavy haze
Em G
Nature's varmints duck about in the walls, the pipes, the grates
C Em
But truth be told in the shadows fold at the closing of the day
D Em
Dusk is when all creatures come to bask in golden shade
C G
and every species acts as starved and feeds as the light fades
Am C
Piggish are the worms, piggish are the snakes
D
Fast as jets the sparrows fall to feed all in one place
G C D G
I sat there where the sparrows dropped that's where I was waiting
G C Em D
Calmly, as the sparrows dropped, just as the day was fading
G
There, among the birds athirst is where I'd calmly stay
Em C G
And feel as though the outsides matched my insides disarray
G
I knew no beauty but the dusk until that crucial eve
Em C G
When my beloved poised as I, stood staring back at me
D Em
If this town was small enough, they'd call us crazy cursed
C G
But we in random city went ignored, which might be worse
Am C
I wooed her there in nature's mess, my only and my first
D
And like a sparrow she fell for me, my eyes in hers, immersed
G C D G
She said, "Meet me where the sparrows drop, that's where I'll be waiting,
G C Em D
Tomorrow, as the sparrows drop, just as the day is fading."
G
In my youth I'd made a deal, some lessons for my time
Em C G
To train my trigger finger and plain faced march in line
G
Just as I had found my peace my country found its war
Em C G
I was sent then overseas to fight, who knows what for
D Em
And in the airport, in the crowd my love she wept for me
C G
She held her hand on my back small, as calm as she could be
Am C
She said: "I love you for your eyes, you know, because they see like mine
D
With every bomb, just see a sparrow, falling down in time."
G C D G
She said, "Meet me where the sparrows drop, that's where I'll be waiting,
G C Em D
Tomorrow, as the sparrows drop, just as the day is fading."
Em Em/G (Rapidly switch back and forth between the two)
Em G C Em
Em G C Em
Em G
I can tell you of the fury or the wild eyed hateful man
C Em
I can tell you that I sit here now because I cannot stand
Em G
Now I know nothing but the night, the sluggishness of time
C Em
In the trenches with the rest, who've lost their limbs and minds
D Em
And I can't see the detail now but memory I know
C G
With every sound explosion feel the warmth around me glow
Am C
I clutch my rifle tightly, rapid fire skyward bound
D
Hope to hit a sparrow feel it fall onto the ground
G C D G
She said, "Meet me where the sparrows drop, that's where I'll be waiting,
G C Em D
Every day till your return, just as the day is fading."
G C D G
I sit and watch the sparrows drop, calmly as I'm waiting
G C Em D
Everyday for my return just as the day is fading.
