Lawren Harris
Embracing the Lawren Harris Way: A Song of Independence and Artistic Expression
Lyrics
I live on my own now
I live independently now
I don't know where to sit
Feeling uncertain or out of place
I bought a couch
Purchased a couch
I got a chair
Acquired a chair
I don't feel attached to it
Not emotionally connected to the furniture
And what I do, don't do it
My actions may not conform to expectations
It takes a man twice as strong to stick to it
Requires exceptional strength to adhere to unconventional choices
I'm not saying it's stupid
Not deeming it foolish
But I'm saying it's not good
Not considering it commendable
I'm not saying it's stupid
Reiterating the unconventional nature
But most people would
Anticipating societal skepticism
I could just write all day, love
Expressing the ability to write extensively
You could just paint all day, love
Partner has a penchant for painting
It's a Lawren Harris way, love
Referencing Lawren Harris's artistic style as an ideal
It's a Lawren Harris way, love
Emphasizing adherence to Lawren Harris's approach
And what he does
Lawren Harris possesses an innate talent
You can't teach it
His talent is not teachable
You can't open his mouth and just preach it
You can't simply preach or explain his talent
I'm not saying he's gifted
Acknowledging Harris's exceptional ability
I'm saying he's damn good
Affirming Harris's high level of skill
I'm not saying he's gifted
Recognizing his skill rather than innate talent
But most people would
Anticipating skepticism from others
I could just write all day, love
Expressing the inclination to write extensively
You could just paint all day, love
Partner has a preference for painting
It's a Lawren Harris way, love
Emphasizing adherence to Lawren Harris's approach
It's a Lawren Harris way, love
Reiterating the influence of Lawren Harris's way
