Music For A Party

What kind of music do you play at a party
When everybody’s there to see you off
They say “Oh, I hate to see you go,
Oh, I hate to see you go”
Then we go
These days everything is happening so fast
Nothing holding still for very long
If only they could find a way to make it last
Baby keep the good times rolling on
Saying say “Oh, I hate to see you go,
Oh, I hate to see you go”
We go
What kind of music do you play at a party
When everybody’s standing six feet tall
And one of us will be the first to six feet under
And love will surely pull us through it all
We’ll say “Oh, I hate to see you go,
Oh, I hate to see you go, I hate to see you go,
I hate to see you go”
Please don’t go

Hopeful Song
04:32
|

Have I grown up, have I grown older
Have I gone south, have I grown colder
Have I become predictable
A story told a hundred times before
Have I gone soft, have I gone over
Two wheels hanging off the shoulder
Have I become predictable
A story told a hundred times before
Oh, somebody sing a song
Oh, of better days to come
‘Cause I know this isn’t right
You can’t hold back the light for very long
Somebody sing a hopeful song tonight
Another year, another season
To find the hope beyond the reason
Of byways that will carry me
To places that I haven’t known before
Could I have faith in happy endings
A hundred seeds with patents pending
A driver who will carry me
From rocky roads to sunny golden shores
Oh, somebody sing a song
Oh, of better days to come
‘Cause I know this isn’t right
You can’t hold back the light for very long
Somebody sing a hopeful song tonight
Somebody sing it, somebody sing it
Somebody sing a hopeful song tonight
I’ve got to hear it, I’ve got to have it
Somebody sing a hopeful song tonight
Somebody sing it, somebody sing it
Somebody sing a hopeful song
Could I survive my A.D.D.
Long enough to count to three
Stay in one place long enough
To watch a garden come out of this ground
Could I get up, could I get better
Could I have faith in sunny weather
Let’s light the night on fire
And laugh at the shadows that surround
Oh, somebody sing a song
Oh, of better days to come
‘Cause I know this isn’t right
You can’t hold back the light for very long
Somebody sing a hopeful song tonight

Say something, your time has come up
You’ve got to plant something, don’t give it up
It’s gonna be alright
Can’t outrun the ebb and the flow
Whatever may come, whatever may go
It’s gonna be alright, we’re gonna be alright
Our hearts are broken, but still beating
With a deeper love rising to the ceiling
Our hearts are broken, but we’ll survive
With a deeper love, a deeper love inside
These days it’s hard to believe
The times we’ve planned, the times we grieve
It’s gonna be alright
Walk on, walk another day
Can’t chase down what’s getting away
It’s gonna be alright, we’re gonna be alright, all right
Our hearts are broken, but still beating
With a deeper love rising to the ceiling
Our hearts are broken, but we’ll survive
With a deeper love burning inside
Our hearts are broken, still beating
Take me somewhere ‘cause I’ll follow where you’re leading
Our hearts are broken, but we’ll survive
With a deeper love, a deeper love inside
We’ve got something inside, can’t take it away, can’t take it away
We’ve got something to lift us back up and it can’t be taken away
We’ve got something inside, can’t take it away, can’t take it away
We’ve got something to lift us back up and it can’t be taken away
Our hearts are broken, still beating
With a deeper love rising to the ceiling
Our hearts are broken, but we’ll survive
With a deeper love, deeper love
Our hearts are broken, still beating
With a deeper love rising to the ceiling
Our hearts are broken, but we’ll survive
With a deeper love, a deeper love inside

Western Gate
04:11
|

|
I was walking down an old familiar road
When I caught you in the corner of my eye
I watched you slip into the wilderness unknown
And I couldn’t pass you by
I broke a trail, broke some branches, tore my clothes
Scratched and bruised along the way
I heard you singing in the pale alpenglow
Just beyond the western gate
I thought I’d lost you when I found myself alone
Without a compass or a map
Walking in circles far from anything I’ve known
Without a road to get me back
And I cried out “how could you leave me here alone,
I followed you into the dark”
I tried to find you where I’d lost you long ago
But I was looking way too hard
I thought I’d passed you by in my hurry
I’d lost my way
I thought I heard you say
“Don’t you waste your life to worry, don’t worry”
I found a marker on a trail old and scarred
It read “All roads lead to Rome.
Wherever you may travel, baby there you are,
So you can take the long way home”
I broke a trail, broke some branches, tore my clothes
Scratched and bruised along the way
I heard you singing in the pale alpenglow
Just beyond the western gate

Dark Before The Dawn
04:18

Did you ever wonder what in the world you would give
What you’d give to have another day with your lover, day with your lover
Did you ever think the rock beneath your feet would shift
Now we’re left to recover, left to recover, left to recover
Did you fall in love with the spirit or the form
Try to keep it all together, keep it all together, keep it all together
Did you try to hold a wave upon the shore
Saying “stay with me forever, stay with me forever, stay with me forever”
Do you ever wonder if you could ever feel alright
When your love light is gone, love light is gone, love light is gone
Do you hear the birds singing in the black of the night
When it’s dark before the dawn, dark before the dawn, dark before the dawn
When it’s dark before the dawn, dark before the dawn, dark before the dawn
When it’s dark before the dawn, dark before the dawn

Remember Who You Are
03:09

Remember who you are
You’re made from the stars
And one day you’ll return to the light
Remember why you came
Keep breathing through the pain
A candle knows its flame in the night
You are something great
You are something beautiful
You are something great, great
You are something beautiful
Remember when you believed
It was all within your reach
You’re still the one who made it here alive
Remember who you are
A piece but not apart
A hope if not a spark, a ray of light
You are something great
You are something beautiful
You are something great, great
You are something beautiful, you’re beautiful, oh beautiful
You are something great
You are something beautiful
You are something great, great
You are something beautiful, you’re beautiful, oh beautiful

Dustbowl

A dry summer day, waiting on the rain
To give life to the fields who can barely speak your name
Hey I know, I know, we all have our day
Drowning in the dirt and the dust, waiting on the rain
Where do we go when our river’s dried up
Do we dance, do hope, do we pray, or pack it in, pack it up
Honey I know, I know the rain’s gotta come
But I’ve got sand in my eyes and dust on my tongue
How long can we hold out, how long can we wait
How long can we hold out, how long can we wait
Forever and a day we’ve been in this drought
We’re thirsty and tired and weak, our oasis dried out
So we gotta dig deep, and we’ve gotta believe
There’s something better ‘round the corner waiting for you and me
But how long can we hold out, how long can we wait
How long can we hold out, how long can we wait
Tell me how long can we hold out, how long can we wait
How long can we suffer, how long do we stay
When our seeds have dried up
And we’re buried in sand
If we dig deep enough beneath the desert
Will we find the promised land
Maybe a rush of light, static brought to life
Would end this aching day, and begin a hopeful night
Unsettle the dirt and the dust in a glorious bloom of unrest
Then cascade a welcome monsoon with thunder shaking my chest
Thunder shaking my chest
Thunder shaking my chest
Thunder shaking my chest

Rodeo
03:24

Hi ho, here we go, ain’t my first time at this rodeo
I won’t get tangled up this time, kicked and dragged as I tow the line
Gotta kick my heels and get on home, the bed is cold for those who roam
I’ll be driving those white horses and singing out the choruses
Of a hundred songs that we sang when we were young
Things are looking better, soon we’ll be together
A hundred miles until the day is done
Back home all is frozen cold, been riding down this desert road
I had to leave to plant the seed in southern soil for northern feed
‘Cause winter has an iron skin, an iron grip, a wired chin
I’ll be driving those white horses and singing out the choruses
Of a hundred songs that we sang when we were young
Things are looking better, soon we’ll be together
A hundred miles until the day is done
There’s no slowing down my steed, he’s headed home and building speed
His heart is racing in his chest, returning to the place that’s best
I won’t get tangled up this time, kicked and dragged as I tow the line
We’ll be driving those white horses and singing out the choruses
Of a hundred songs that we sang when we were young
Things are looking better, soon we’ll be together
A hundred miles until the day is done

Closer Every Day
04:28

You’ll always be my little boy, no matter what time brings
Never had another choice, if it were up to me
I would have watched you make up your mind
Now I watch from far away
But I’m closer than you know
Closer every day
Son I’ve got to tell you there are things on my mind
And I’ve got time to work them out, God knows I’ve got the time
Somehow we got confused on what was yours, and what was mine
In all that I’ve left behind
We made this house from rock and dirt, made plans and cleared the trees
We bore the sweat of heavy loads and lifted up the beams
And raised a temple to the sky with soil on our knees
A lonely kingdom looking for a queen
You’ll always be my little boy, no matter what time brings
Never had another choice, if it were up to me
I would have watched you make up your mind
Now I watch from far away
But I’m closer than you know
Closer every day
Been gone a while and here I am to see just how you’ve done
And you’re a man my little child and time is moving on
Can’t return to this temple now that doesn’t see the sun
When all that I’ve built is gone
You’re more my image every day, my legacy survives
Don’t let your daylight get away, stay focused on the prize
I’m right around the corner, open arms when you arrive
For now you’ve got to live while you’re alive
You’ll always be my little boy, no matter what time brings
Never had another choice, if it were up to me
I would have watched you make up your mind
Now I watch from far away
But I’m closer than you know
Closer every day
I’m closer than you know
Closer every day
I’m closer than you know
Closer every day
I’ll be waiting ‘round the corner when you call me
Waiting ‘round the corner when you come a calling
I’ll be waiting ‘round the corner when you’re ready
Waiting ‘round the corner when you come a knocking
I’ll be waiting ‘round the corner when you call me
Waiting ‘round the corner when you come a calling
I’ll be waiting ‘round the corner when you’re ready
Waiting ‘round the corner when you come a knocking

What Would I Say
05:23

What would i say if I knew this were my last day
My last minutes here wouldn’t be spent fretting away
Would I take you by the hand, friends and family at my side
Telling stories, or looking in the eye
What would I give if i had just one life to live
Why play it safe when now’s the time to go all in
Would I let myself believe in more than what i’ve seen
I wouldn’t be giving up, no, I wouldn’t be giving in
I wouldn’t be giving up, no, I wouldn’t be giving in
What if we could reach back in time
At the end of our days, at the end of the line
With a hundred years of sound advice
It’s simple, so simple
“You’ve got nowhere to go, you’ve got somewhere to be
So just dive on in, spend some time with me
Believe in yourself, and trust yourself
Be gentle, be gentle
There’s always gonna be enough to go around
Give yourself away, you’ll never be let down
There’s never a time more important than now
Don’t miss it, don’t miss it, don’t miss it”
What would I do if I could spend this day with you
Time slowing down, nothing else I’d rather do
Close against your chest hold the ones you love the best
There’s always tomorrow to figure out the rest

Going To The Sun Minneapolis, Minnesota
Going To The Sun’s mix of earthy-acoustic-playful-electric-pop-rock rings with the earnest storytelling of Willie Nelson, the lush harmonies of “Pet Sounds”-era Beach Boys, and the spirited instrumentation of Modest Mouse and Arcade Fire, the result of small mountain-town upbringing and two decades of being immersed in the rich music culture of the Twin Cities. ... more
