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

[Intro]
D D Bb5 C Am
[Verse 1]
D Bm7
I feel frozen and lonely
Bb5 C Am
I wanna wake up happy enough, welcoming sun in my bedroom
D Bm7 Bb5
Maybe northern California, I need a dose of the sea
C Am
Sleep on the beach just for a week with no trouble
D Bm7 Bb5 C
It's all irrational but somewhere there's a green and white and blue flag waving
[Chorus]
D
I wanna build Cascadia
Bb5 Am
California in the sunlight
D
I wanna build Cascadia
Bb5 Am D
Oregon Shores would be alright
[Verse 2]

Bbmaj7 Am7
It's seasonal
