about

Transplanting is about a house show my friend Adrian threw a long time ago, right before he moved to South Africa.

lyrics

Hey Adrian
We had your going away
As a secret show in your Mission place
Before SF decayed
We were blown away
By tunes the special guest played
He sang of white plains and Romanian names

And once we'd gone,
You and Megan danced alone
To a mix including Marvin Gaye
So of course she cried
Over limits left on time
And the fact you could have stayed

Hey Adrian
I've made these movements you make
I know the floating when the root ball doesn't take
But all I could say
In a flat with lights turning on
And people leaving is, We'll message when you're gone.

But really, it's not tough for us to keep you
In a circuit that's growing past San Fran
I'd guess your heaviness gets somewhat easier to stow
If you go
Carrying the folk
You learned here

And believe that mobile favor
Is connection you can cash anytime for free
Even if you move to southern tips of continents
If you ebb, someone can see
Even once you move to southern tips of continents
When you ebb, someone can see.
