irene sankoff and david hein - darkness and trees lyrics

Loading...

[bob, spoken]
we can see them from the plane – this long line of headlights coming through the darkness

[company]
off of the airplane

[flight attendant, spoken]
ladies and gentlemen, you can take only your carry-on items. any checked luggage will remain in the hold

[company]
into the airport

[diane, spoken]
the captain and flight attendants tell everyone to take the blankets and pillows off the plane

[company]
out of the windows

[kevin t, spoken]
we grab bottles of water too – no one has any idea where they’re taking us

[company]
darkness and trees

[bob, spoken]
as we enter the airport, all those car lights are still aimed at us

[hannah, spoken]
we’re scared. they’re probably scared too

[flight attendant, spoken]
the people here don’t know what to expect off of these planes

[kevin t, spoken]
the airport looks like something left over from the cold war. kevin is like:

[kevin j, spoken]
oh my god, we’ve gone back in time

[bob, spoken]
the whole procedure – the soldiers and all the formality – it just makes me really nervous

[beverley, spoken]
there’s a giant map on the wall of the airport and someone has written in red marker: “you are here.”

[hannah, spoken]
excuse me. i need to find a phone. i need to call my son

[customs officer, spoken]
i’m sorry. the pay phones are out of order

[oz, spoken]
they’re all lined up at the airport pay phones
so eventually we put an “out of order” sign on them just so we can get people on the busses

[claude, spoken]
11:48 pm. busses and drivers are now taking p-ssengers to shelters, not just in gander, but also to gambo, appleton, and farther communities of lewisporte, norris arm, and glenwood

[company]
our bus sits there forever
while all the others leave
finally, this other p-ssenger gets on
this guy from the middle east
someone says he got questioned
someone says he got searched
and now he’s on our bus

[janice, spoken]
i try to interview the red cross, the salvation army – but they’ve got more important things to do than talk to me. that’s when i see them, the plane people, through the bus windows. the terror on their faces. they have no idea where they’re going

[beverley, spoken]
they take me and my crew in a separate van and i’m looking out the window, tryin’ to see where we are, but it is pitch dark. now i have flown over this area hundreds and hundreds of times and it is just darkness – hardly any lights anywhere. and now here i am. oh my god, this is just so remote

[men]
into the darkness

[women]
stars and the moonlight

[men]
but all around us

[women]
nothing but darkness

[men]
out of the windows

[women]
into the darkness

[company]
darkness and trees

[garth, spoken]
every school bus we got is goin’ back and forth all night. out to the salvation army camp we’ve delivered p-ssengers from germany, england, and france. and around three in the morning, my bus is designated to take all these african people out there

[company except garth and muhumuza]
into the darkness

[muhumuza, spoken]
my family and i try to see out the bus windows. no one tells us where we are going

[company except garth and muhumuza]
onto a gravel road

[garth, spoken]
silence comes on the bus. we get outside of gander and you could hear a pin drop

[company except garth and muhumuza]
and all around us

[muhumuza, spoken]
my wife and daughter are scared. they ask me what is happening and i do not know

[company except garth and muhumuza]
darkness and trees

[garth, spoken]
behind me, this big man comes up to me and he says in this low voice

[muhumuza, spoken]
wewe watuchukuwa wapi?

[garth, spoken]
what’s that, now?
