Big City Dreams
Written by Adrian Sutherland, Scott Dibble
Produced by Colin Linden
Chasing big city dreams got no fear
Cause I got a song that will get me the hell outta here
But every time I get my feet my moving
For a moment I’d see you then you’d disappear
There was a time I knew I was going somewhere
If only I could find my way clear
But every time I get the wheels turning
This damn road’s closed again and I’m still here
Oh I… Just wanna sing my song for you
Up here the winter nights will turn us to the fire
As I see my boys have got my father’s eyes
We walk the frozen river flows beneath us
We talk my father’s words come to me
When the eagle glides the wind decides where she’s searching
The path is always there under your feet
Hear the drum and feel your heart beating
The earth is the song
Gawenan-aski
The earth sings the song that sets you free
Oh I… Just wanna sing a song with you
Oh I… Feel the spirits coming through
Oh I… Just want to sing a song with you

Paranoia
Written by Adrian Sutherland, Chris Gormley, Matt Gormley
Produced by Colin Linden
I’m on a train heading north
I wonder if I’ll see you
Been so long since I’m gone
I feel like I’m brand new
Old man sitting there
He’s got this old man stare
He makes me nervous
Makes me feel like I just ain’t prepared
I’m on a train heading north
It’s time to face the truth
Paranoia
Paranoia everyday
Paranoia
They’ll ignore ya anyway
I got a full tank of gas
And I’m trucking down the ice road
Nowhere to stop nowhere to go
And they’re calling for some heavy snow
Wolves are hungry here
They can smell the fear
Wish I can be a wolf
Run away and disappear
I got a full tank of gas
On this empty road
Paranoia
Paranoia everyday
Paranoia
They’ll ignore ya anyway
Paranoia come to destroy ya
Shake your body to the grave
Paranoia
They’ll ignore ya anyway
Paranoia
They’ll destroy ya
Fill your heart with shame
They’ll ignore ya
They’ll destroy ya
It’s driving me insane
I’m sitting down on the south bank
Looking at the bright lights
I’m still messed up and nothing changed
But it’s alright
Paranoia
Paranoia everyday
Paranoia
They’ll ignore ya anyway
Paranoia come to destroy ya
Shake your body to the grave
Paranoia
They’ll ignore ya anyway

Magic Hits
Written by Adrian Sutherland, Chris Gormley, Matt Gormley
Produced by Colin Linden
I had a dream last night
Everything went right
Kinda took me by surprise
Kinda blew upon my mind
Sometimes things get rough
Sometimes tough
Must be more to life than this
Standing on the sidelines
Waiting for the highlights yeah
Must be more to life than this
Praying for the weekend
Waiting til the magic hits
I took a walk outside
Everything looked fine
Kinda looked like a disguise
I could see it in your eyes
Sometimes things get tight
Oh outta sight
Must be more to life than this
Standing on the sidelines
Waiting for the highlights yeah
Must be more to life than this
Praying for the weekend
Waiting til the magic hits
Must be more to life than this
Standing on the sidelines
Waiting for the highlights yeah
Must be more to life than this
Praying for the weekend
Waiting til the magic hits
Yeah-hey yeah-hey yeah-hey
Waiting til the magic hits
Yeah-hey yeah-hey yeah-hey
Waiting til the magic hits

Once That Was You
Written by Adrian Sutherland, Jay Semko
Produced by Colin Linden
It’s the end of the world
That’s how it feels right now
Watching it all unfold
Like you and me how it all came down
I feel you more than ever
When I hold her in the night
Once that was you
Now I don’t even know
Where you are
No matter how I try
I can’t forget
That once that was you
I’ve been on my own
Far too long now to mend
I can’t stand this town
Everywhere I go a dead end
I need someone who loves me
To hold me in the night
Once that was you
Now I don’t even know
Where you are
No matter how I try
I can’t forget
That once that was you
I see you in her eyes
I feel so wrong it burns
It tears me up inside
With a love so deep it hurts
Once that was you
Now I don’t even know
Where you are
No matter how I try
I can’t forget
That once that was you
Oh I can’t forget
That once that was you

Nowhere To Run
Written by Adrian Sutherland
Produced by Colin Linden
When you feel like there’s nowhere to run
And there’s no one there to help you find your way
And those bone-chilling nights make you numb
And you wish you had a place to call your home
A safe haven to rest your weary mind, body and soul
Oh I can’t believe
I’m sorry for not being there for you
When you needed me
I was made to protect you
Love you but I failed you
I worry about you every night
Not knowing where you are
I pray to god he keeps you safe
And brings you home to me someday
When your calls for help fall on deaf ears
And another disappears on the highway of tears
I don’t know what to think it makes me cry
All the sisters and the mothers, daughters fight
Send ripples across the land tonight to give you a voice
Oh I can’t believe
I’m sorry for not being there for you
When you needed me
I was made to protect you
Love you but I failed you
I worry about you every night
Not knowing where you are
I pray to God he keeps you safe
And brings you home to me someday
Bridge – Cree lyrics
Wechihenan ganaweniminan
Wechihenon nwematisinan
I’m sorry for not being there for you
When you needed me
I was made to protect you
Love you but I failed you
I worry about you every night
Not knowing where you are
I pray to God he keeps you safe
And brings you home to me someday

Scared
Written by Adrian Sutherland, Chris Gormley, Matt Gormley
Produced by Colin Linden
Every time I stop to think about the world
I think of all the pain that life can hurl
I think of all the words that people say
Why we gotta hate so much today
And it hurts me so bad
And I get scared
I get so scared
People trying to live without love
And I’m scared to death
Of this emptiness
Maybe things are better on the other side
If only I could see through your hurting eyes
Hard to hang on when you’re losing hope
Chest fills up and you start to choke
And it makes me so sad
And I get scared
I get so scared
People trying to live without love
And I’m scared to death
Of this emptiness
I will shine a light for you
So bright that you can see
But you’re blinded by the night
And you can barely breathe
And I get scared
I get so scared
People trying to live without love
And I’m scared to death
Of this emptiness
And I get scared
I get so scared
People trying to live without love
And I’m scared to death
Of this emptiness
And I get scared
I get so scared
People trying to live without love
We all have to give
It’s never enough
Cause we need love
Today

Right Here

She wakes in the night screaming
Telling me she’s dreaming of losing me
She speaks to the night whispering
Every hour waking praying for the light
I pull her close and hold her tight
Tell her everything’s gonna be alright
Don’t you worry I’ll be right here
She pulls me close and holds me tight
Pulling me towards the light
Don’t you worry I’ll be right here
Lately you been acting strangely
I don’t know what you been thinking
Come with me I’ll take you home
Walk with me so you’re not alone
Wake in the light staring
At me like a ghost back from the dead
She pulls me close and holds me tight
Tells me everything’s gonna be alright
Don’t you worry I’ll be right here
I’ll be right here
Baby I been acting crazy
Lately I can’t stop drinking
Hold my hand and take me home
Stay with me so I’m not alone
I pull her close and hold her tight
(She wakes in the night screaming)
Tell her everything’s gonna be alright
(Telling me she’s dreaming)
Don’t you worry I’ll be right here
(Of losing me)
I pull her close and hold her tight
(She wakes in the night screaming)
Tell her everything’s gonna be alright
(Telling me she’s dreaming)
Don’t you worry I’ll be right here
(Of losing me)
I’ll be right here

Walk With Me
Written by Adrian Sutherland, Serena Ryder
Produced by Colin Linden
Walk with me
If I follow your steps will I see
Why did you go
Let’s trade skins
Show me all the places you have been
Just let me know
I’ll be fine
Don’t you know I’ve waited all this time
To know
Wearing thin
I can even move to make my bed
Time is moving so slow
Straight and narrow
Broken arrows
Walking down the sweetgrass road
With Moses and Juliette
And all the things we’ll never forget
Ancient tracing footsteps racing home
You and me and Antonio
You’re so strong
But you scare me when you cry too long
Mother Nature’s
Howling wind
Started pushing me around again
It’s what I deserve
I’ll be fine
Don’t you know I’ve waited all this time
To know
Wearing thin
I can even move to make my bed
My body’s so sore
Straight and narrow
Broken arrows
Walking down the sweetgrass road
With Moses and Juliette
All the things we’ll never forget
Ancient tracing footsteps racing home
Help us find our way out through the fog
With you and me and Antonio
Straight and narrow
Broken arrows
Walking down the sweetgrass road
With Moses and Juliette
All the things we’ll never forget
Ancient tracing footsteps racing home
Help us find our way out through the fog
The compass of the heart will lead you home
You and me and Antonio

Make Me Better
Written by Adrian Sutherland, Tim Vesely
Produced by Tim Vesely
I travelled many days
To be by your side
Dazzled by your inlays
And voodoo stride
My eyelids so heavy
But I can’t fall asleep
Driving in my pickup
I bought dirt cheap
When I’m gone away
All I do is think of you
And how I should have stayed
I feel so blue
If I had two wings
I would learn to fly
I would do anything
Just to reach the sky
I knew there was something about you
Baby you make me better
It’s hard to know where we’re going
Baby you make me better
Baby you make me better
It’s been so long my dear
Since I felt your touch
Take away all my tears
That hurt so much
If I had two wings
I would learn to fly
I would do anything
Just to reach the sky
I knew here was something about you
Baby you make me better
It’s hard to know where we’re going
Baby you make me better
One thing I know is I love you
Baby you make me better
Baby you make me better
Baby you make me better
I knew there was something about you
Baby you make me better
It’s hard to know where we’re going
Baby you make me better
It’s hard to know where we’re going
Baby you make me better
Baby you make me better
Baby you make me better

Stand in the Joy
by William Prince
supported by 4 fans who also own “When The Magic Hits”
This album is an old soul that has come to us from the past in some sort of Mandela effect time bend. I think it has already existed for many years and it inspired Elvis and Johnny Cash to make music how they did. It is sonically perfect.
