Josephine Cameron: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

I went to graduate school in northern Indiana, and I wrote this song over Christmas break, when campus was deserted and desolate except for the steady snowfall that never let up. (You learn the meaning of "Lake Effect" very quickly when you move to South Bend!) Since I wrote it, lots of people have asked me to record "Indiana," and I've even heard that one of my punk-band friends has covered it in New York. So I put this song on the album for all the Notre Dame folks who have been so encouraging and supportive of my music from the beginning.

It's cold tonight
Out on 31
Heading north and waiting for the sky to tell me
What I'm searching for
What I'm searching for

And I was told they'd be around tonight
In Indiana
An angel's wings to cover me tonight
But it just snows
In Indiana

The moon tonight
Makes a halo
And wraps it round my mind, I've lost my stride
I'm falling down
I've lost my stride

And I was told they'd be around tonight
In Indiana
An angel's wings to cover me tonight
But it just snows
In Indiana

A hundred angels will not forsake
But all through the night, I just lie awake
And a hundred angels will be by my bed
All through the night, All through the night

The road tonight
Stretches out like
Counting beads and insincere philosophy
And I'm heading straight for light
And I'm heading straight from light

And I was told they'd be around tonight
In Indiana
An angel's wings to cover me tonight
But it just snows
In Indiana
