I Whale歌曲歌词：
So I set out on the sea
With a little food for me
And a sharp harpoon for the whale that I’m hunting
The fine women on the shore
They called out “give us more!”
But I have nothing to give (as if I did before)
Before my house burned down last night
And I killed my friends in a fight
So like I said, I paddled out in morning light
To see if I could see
A shape come from the deep
Or if I could hear it’s song of love at night taunt me
And though I know I’m getting some
My fingers are getting numb
I sit and toss and the cold waves wash over me
And I’ve been out here for sixty days
There’s no sign of spout or spray
And the cold dark night falls down the flat black sea
And in the calm I close my eyes
I lean back, rock from side to side
I am placid, I have slowly gone starry skies
With half closed eyes
But with a ‘thump’ ‘thump’ beneath my boat
Watch the water rise
And storms rage in my skiff crumbles
And the whale beneath assails and humbles
It says: “Knock knock!” from beneath
“You know it’s me!
I’m your heart, I’m a whale
I’m the bottom of the deep black sea
My mouth is white and toothy”

Mount Eerie简介：
小简介
Mount Eerie is an Anacortes, Washington-based band fronted by Phil Elverum. Elverum is the principal member of the band, but he has collaborated with many other musicians on his records.
History
Following the release of The Microphones’ Mount Eerie album, Phil Elverum announced that he would no longer use the Microphones moniker, opting instead to record under the name Mount Eerie, after the area in Anacortes, Washington called Mount Erie. In an interview with CITR-FM’s Discorder in September 2003, Elverum gave his reasons for this change: “Mount Eerie is a new project. The Microphones was completed, or at least at a good stopping point. I did it because I am ready for new things. I am new.”[1]
Shortly after this announcement, Live in Japan, recorded during three days during Elverum’s tour in Japan in 2003, was released by K Records. Despite the fact that the album contained all new material, the album was credited to ‘The Microphones’. The quotation marks contained in the release are credited to the fact that Phil Elverum considered this to neither be a Microphones project, nor a Mount Eerie release.

Elverum has also created a 3-LP recording of Mount Eerie titled Live in Copenhagen, released by Burnt Toast Vinyl in late 2004. The first Mount Eerie studio album was “No Flashlight” Songs of the Fulfilled Night, released on Elverum’s own label, P.W. Elverum & Sun, Ltd. at What the Heck Fest in Anacortes, WA on July 16, 2005 and commercially released on August 16, 2005. Released domestically on vinyl LP (although the LP version contained a copy of the CD), the album contained an extremely large sheet of paper containing track-by-track liner notes and pictures.
July 2007 marked the release of another ambitious project, Mount Eerie pts. 6 & 7 a 132-page, hardcover coffee-table book of his photography, packaged with a 10″ record. This book is the first large-scale publication of his photography, and possibly presents closure to the Mount Eerie song cycle started in the album Mount Eerie by the now-defunct Microphones.
