Born Into Trouble As The Sparks Fly Upward
"Born into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward." is the second album of the Canadian band The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band. It was released by Constellation Records in October 2001.
The title is most likely drawn from the Book of Job: “Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upwards” (5:7).
"This Gentle Hearts Like Shot Bird's Fallen" was used in the climax to the David Gordon Green film Snow Angels.
The album finds the band expanding from three members to six, with a similarly expanded name.
