lyrics

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

Going To The Sun image

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
