Say Uncle

Artist: Vienna Teng

Album: Waking Hour (2001)

Lyrics

Everyone agrees it came too soon

It was only meant to be an interception

You kept fear of death in the back pocket of your jeans

In the palm of your hand, affection

It came like a sudden gust of wind

Leaving them bewildered to ask how

I recall last time we met, you said we'd meet again

The irony is only bitter now

These days everyone cries, "say uncle"

They want to touch your spirit lest it die

For this your sons and widow gather with us at the table

To form a healing circle for our new demise

These days everyone cries, "say uncle"

I retrieve the memories quickly as I can

Add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds

Your body gone, we shall keep the man

I close my eyes and hope they do not fade

These remnants of a voice and a smile

Images of landscape, cloaked in forest green

Like your life unfolding mile by mile

A fierce embrace, a word of thanks

A cheerful whistle, and hours in a van

Somehow these pieces must bring back the man you were

Though the ocean claims your ashes on the sand

These days everyone cries, "Say uncle"

They want to touch your spirit lest it die

For this your sons and widow gather with us at the table

To form a healing circle for our new demise

These days everyone cries, "say uncle"

I retrieve the memories quickly as I can

Add them to the portrait we all draw in our minds

Your body gone, we shall keep the man

[repeat]

I'm so sorry about your depression. I know what it's like to go through that. I also suffered chronic depression that turned into severe mental illness back last summer following my 12-year-old dog Henry's death. It was then that I remembered my 2009 relationship with Sarah, a then 29-year-old woman whom I worked with and later developed feelings for. I remembered her after listening to "Besame" by Camila a few times.

Beautiful and nostalgic. I remember first hearing this song when I was a kid back in the 2000s. I'm almost 19 now and still love this song. ;)

It's "intersection," not "interception."

I suffered cronic depression for the past 7 years. This song may not have brought me out of it, but it reminds me of it and that I should not dwell in it.

I have been a fan of Vienna for the past 11 years and listen to this song regularly. Today the words and meaning had me in tears as memories of my dad, sister, uncle, mother, step-mother, mother-in-law, brother, and nephew overwhelmed me (not to mention the friends who have died). These loved ones all died during the past 11 years that I have been listening to that song - some suddenly, some slowly. All are missed; all are remembered. Today this song became part of me. Thank you, Vienna.

my uncle would have been 59 years old today. It was like this song was written for him.

I can't stop listening to this song. It's so deep and just like all of her songs, it's pure poety that tells a story. I don't know what all to say because it was so good that I can't say anything. :'} thanks for posting this!
