And if Venice Is Sinking
"And if Venice Is Sinking" is a song written by John Mann and Geoffrey Kelly for the Canadian folk-rock band Spirit of the West. Spirit of the West recorded the song on their studio album ''Faithlift''. It also appeared on their greatest hits album ''Hit Parade'', both in the original studio single and as a live recording with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
==Content==
The song is about Mann's honeymoon in Venice with his wife, Jill Daum. Infatuated with the city, Mann expresses his desire never to leave by alluding to the sinking of the city and asserting that he'll go down with it: "And if Venice is sinking/Then I'm going under". The song also references Marino Marini's sculpture "Angelo della Città":
''We made love upon a bed
''That sagged down to the floor
''In a room that had a postcard on the door
''Of Marini's Little Man
''With an erection on a horse
''It always leaves me laughing
Several of the band's friends and family members, as well as producer Michael Phillip Wojewoda, also appear on the track as backing vocalists on the song's final chorus, and are credited in the album's liner notes as "Venetian Choir". Daum herself can be heard laughing in the background after the word "erection".
