lyrics
My father was a carpenter My mother she died young I'm the eldest of my brothers You're the trouble in my blood Trouble in my blood I swore that I'd stay humble Like my father was before He built the home I live in Of sand and mud and smoke Sand and mud and smoke Yes, we will leave here without a trace Take a new name and an old shape I'll be no outlaw, no renegade Just your faithful god of loss So meet me by the river On a boat-shaped piece of earth We press our bones together And the spider does its work With flakes of garlic And petals from a rose If it's small enough to carry You and I can call it home You and I can call it home Yes, we will leave here without a trace Take a new name and an old shape I'll be no outlaw, no renegade Just your faithful god of loss

about

Since around 2009, GQ has taken to recording the spring solos of the senior class every year, and these have formed a collection rather than an album of true gems. This era marked what Ryann Leona Tookes would refer to as "GQ's entrance into the mainstream." Not to fear though -- although we were singing Justin Bieber and making grown women and men swoon (both thanks to Kilo V Martin), we remained the weird lovable nerds we have always been. These songs were recorded over 5 years, under a variety of conditions: in 2010, during a snowstorm in Malex's New Hampshire bedroom (?); in 2011, at a studio in New York (the setting of the ill-fated "We lost Doug!" hoax, and a guest appearance by Darryl Tookes); in 2012 and 2013, at a studio in Albany; and in 2014, in Brooks Rogers Recital Hall in the Bernhard Music Center. - Hannah Wang '13

about

Good Question Williamstown, Massachusetts

Founded in 1995 by a pair of Williams students frustrated with the other a cappella groups on campus, Good Question (or GQ for short) is unique in that the group decides who will solo in each semester and those members chose the songs they want to sing, as opposed to auditioning solos from a set list. GQ's group song is Merecedes Benz by Janis Joplin. ... more
