From the recording I Listen to the Crows - LIVE
Jeff heard a crow saying "hello" outside the bedroom window earlier in the year. Combine that with crow observations and folklore from different cultures and a song is born.
This live recording is from the first time the song was played by the band at a show on November 1, 2025 at the Charlotte Street Art Center in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Lyrics
I listen to the crows
Sometimes they just say hello
Now there’s crow talk goin’ ‘round
Something bad is going down
I listen to the crows
I listen to the crows
I listen to the crows
How they do it no one knows
They warn me who’s around
From on high above the ground
I listen to the crows
I listen to the crows
Hello, Hello, Hello
Crows I hear you now
Sounding urgent calls
Change is coming down
Here, there all around
I listen to the crows
Symbol of Apollo
What is their prophecy?
What will happen to me?
I listen to the crows
I listen to the crows
I listen to the crows
Nature’s trickster calls to me
Watches intelligently
Flying elegantly
I listen to the crows
I listen to the crows
I listen to the crows
Sometimes they just say hello
Now there’s crow talk goin’ ‘round
Something bad is going down
I listen to the crows
I listen to the crows
I listen to the crows
I listen to the crows
