Their debut album "Cedar Shakes", recorded in a farm house near Bobcaygeon, Ontario, was released in 2006. Hence the moniker Timber Timbre as an ode to the surroundings and the warm haunting sound of the album.
2007 saw the release of Medicinals, an album recorded by Kirk in his empty Toronto apartment. "Cedar Shakes came from driving around in fields, but I don’t think Medicinals reflects the city at all actually," Kirk told the Kingston Whig Standard. "If anything, I think Medicinals is a more fetishization of the rural landscape because ultimately, that’s where I want to be."
Medicinals was released on Shuffling Feet records, the Peterborough based label of Jonas Bonnetta (Evening Hymns), who also mastered the record.
Toronto’s Out of this Spark records released Timber Timbre’s third album in January of 2009.
Hot Dreams
Timber Timbre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna dance with a black woman
I wanna still, I wanna still
I wanna still my mind
And I wanna chance, I wanna chance
I want another chance
To distill
To distill that time
And I wanna write, I wanna write
I wanna write to someone so true
I wanna wake, I wanna wake
I wanna wake from hot dreams
Hot dreams of you
Oh hot dreams
Hot dreams
Hot dreams
I wanna rise, I wanna rise
I wanna rise up beside you
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a champion in your eyes
And I wanna follow through, follow through
On all my promises and threats to you babe
Hot streams, hot streams
Will fork and divide, fork and divide
I wanna take, I wanna take
I wanna take, take all of your air
I wanna find, I wanna find
I wanna find another day dream, another nightmare
I wanna lie, I wanna lie
I wanna lie, lie me down in your stream
I wanna wake, I wanna wake
I wanna wake from hot dreams
I wanna wake from hot dreams of you babe
Hot dreams
I wanna wake from hot dreams of you babe
Hot dreams
The lyrics to Timber Timbre's "Hot Dreams" explore a desire for connection and escape through physical and emotional sensations. The singer longs to dance with a black woman, craving the physical intimacy and release that comes from moving together. But they also want to "still" their mind, seeking a respite from the chaos of their own thoughts. The desire for both movement and stillness - for both distraction and calm - reflect a complicated relationship with their own mind and a need for balance.
As the song progresses, the singer reaches for more ways to connect with someone "so true." They want to be a champion in this person's eyes, and follow through on promises and threats made in the heat of passion. The repeated reference to "hot dreams" suggests a bittersweet longing for escape and connection that is always just out of reach. The desire to "rise up beside you" and "take all of your air" conveys a possessiveness that is balanced by the need to be lied down in this person's stream, to be enveloped in their love and acceptance.
Overall, "Hot Dreams" is a deeply sensual and emotional song that touches on themes of escapism, connection, and the complicated, often contradictory desires that push us forward.

Probably cinematically one of the best music videos ever made. Period. You could write a book about all the different charters in it and it's only 3 minutes long. Amazing.
@genesisaragorn2048
It's like stop the time for five minutes. Beauty, magic. Mysticism. I can almost smell the perfume and the cigarettes and feel the perfect sense of calm.
@feliciahobbs7600
Murray me
@Spiffy141
You're right. It feels like time stopped.
@AB-rr3le

Can you please suggest anything alike this song?
