About Farmhouse

Written by writer Tom Marshall and Phish's frontman Trey Anastasio, Farmhouse derives from a weekend trip that the pair took together in April of 1997. It takes inspiration from their witnessing of aurora borealis (which had been generated from a geomagnetic storm induced by a solar flare), and the farmhouse they stayed in. Lyrics from the song include words that were taken from their host's introduction "note", per Anastasio: "I started strumming and Tom started singing .

Farmhouse Lyrics

[00:01.81] Welcome, this is a farmhouse
[00:05.21] We have cluster flies alas
[00:09.19] And this time of year is bad
[00:14.90] We are so very sorry
[00:18.35] There is little we can do but swat them
[00:27.55] She didn't beg, oh not enough
[00:31.15] She didn't stay when things got tough
[00:34.85] I told a lie and she got mad
[00:37.78] She wasn't there when things got bad
[00:41.42] I never ever saw the Northern lights
[00:44.52] I never really heard of cluster flies
[00:47.73] I never ever saw the stars so bright
[00:51.18] In the farmhouse, things will be alright
[00:54.63] I never ever saw the Northern lights
[00:57.90] I never really heard of cluster flies
[01:01.22] I never ever saw the stars so bright
[01:04.43] In the farmhouse, things will be alright
[01:07.48] Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
[01:12.69]
[01:34.77] Woke this morning to the stinging lash
[01:38.05] Every man rise from the ash
[01:41.69] Each betrayal begins with trust
[01:44.53] Every man returns to dust
[01:48.07] I never ever saw the Northern lights
[01:51.56] I never really heard of cluster flies
[01:54.65] I never ever saw the stars so bright
[01:58.53] In the farmhouse, things will be alright
[02:01.65] I never ever saw the Northern lights
[02:04.94] I never really heard of cluster flies
[02:08.10] I never ever saw the stars so bright
[02:11.56] In the farmhouse, things will be alright
[02:15.84]
[02:28.08] I never ever saw the Northern lights
[02:31.72] I never really heard of cluster flies
[02:35.08] I never ever saw the stars so bright
[02:38.35] In the farmhouse, things will be alright
[02:41.71] I never ever saw the Northern lights
[02:44.93] I never really heard of cluster flies
[02:48.31] I never ever saw the stars so bright
[02:51.67] In the farmhouse, things will be alright
[02:54.99] Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
[03:00.62]
[03:20.69] Welcome, this is a farmhouse
[03:27.49] Welcome, this is a farmhouse
[03:34.02] I never ever saw the Northern lights
[03:37.23] I never really heard of cluster flies
[03:40.68] I never ever saw the stars so bright
[03:43.86] In the farmhouse, things will be alright
[03:46.07]
