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.
Woman
Timber Timbre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mouth to, mouth to
Mind to, mind to
Mouth to middle
Oh, woman
Why aren't you moving with me yet?
Do you forget what you try to remember?
Hand to, hand to
Mouth to, mouth to
Mind to, mind to
Mouth to middle
Oh, woman
It's an omen, this is it
But I forget what I try to remember
I remember all I try to forget
The lyrics of Timber Timbre's song "Woman" revolve around the internal conflict and confusion of the singer's relationship with a woman. The repetition of the phrases "hand to, mouth to, mind to" may represent the singer's desire for a deeper connection with the woman, both physically and emotionally. The line "mouth to middle" might suggest the idea of communication and the importance of expressing oneself to have a genuine connection.
The chorus, however, contrasts this desire for intimacy by questioning the woman's lack of movement or responsiveness. The line "Do you forget what you try to remember? Do you remember what you try to forget?" creates a sense of ambiguity, perhaps suggesting that the woman may be struggling with her own internal paradoxes.
The final lines of each verse "I forget what I try to remember, I remember all I try to forget" seems to mirror the theme of the internal conflict and confusion of both the singer and the woman in the relationship. It highlights the struggle to come to terms with the past and move forward from it.

Addressing a woman

Do you forget what you try to remember?
Asking if the woman forgets her intentions
Do you remember what you try to forget?
Asking if the woman remembers things she wants to forget
It's an omen, this is it
Feeling that something significant is happening
But I forget what I try to remember
Forgetting things that he tries to remember
I remember all I try to forget
Remembering things that he wants to forget
