To the Grave 03:35
Well if I could've I would've been tall Been a great player with my name in the hall I'd have traveled and played in the States and beyond If I would've been tall I would've gone on, gone on Well if I could've I would've been free Can't even imagine the things I could've been A painter, a writer, a singer, a great Not thinkin' about the best way to get paid, get paid But I know you can only choose so much Just don't waste your time on excuses and such Don't let them rule you to the grave The only thing you can really change Is how you see the path before you Is how you see the path before you Don't let them rule you to the grave Well if I could've I would've been brave The mountains and valleys would all be the same The goats and horses would all know my name If I would've been brave I'd be out in the rain, the rain Don't let them rule you to the grave The only thing you can really say Is that you'll change the path before you Is that you'll change path before you Don't let them rule you to the grave But I know you can only choose so much Just don't waste your time on excuses and such Don't let them rule you to the... Don't let them rule you to the... x3 Don't let them rule you to the grave

It seems like a slow current But we gotta watch out for the undertow As we wade to get across 'Cause we're gonna burn it from below We're gonna burn this bridge from below We dreamed of a better day Than this like scorching sun or soft wind Looks like we'll do it in rain Looks like we'll burn this bridge in the rain Coming here will never be the same There's a new way now A better way to get around We burnt the old way down There's a new way now A way to cross over the crowd Of waves that cradle our old sound We watch the rubble go with the flow And leave the ashes our only trace Onto a brighter site we'll go I found a place where the water stays I found a place where the water never sways There's a new way now A better way to get around We burnt the old way down There's a new way now A way to cross over the crowd Of waves that cradle our old sound There's a new way now A better way to get around We burnt the old way down We burnt the old way down

Hometown 02:54
I went through a town lost far into the woods I went through a town that called itself the capital of moose It was my hometown It was my home, hometown Made a castle in the snow On the first of July two years in a row Two years straight at the parade Had my hands in my pockets and a dollar for candy It was my hometown It was my home I see a tower up ahead And there's the Mata- river 'round the bend I know I've made it to a place of lumberjack grace, yeah Who's your father? And what does he do? Turns out he's the cousin of the neighbor Who lived out by the little lagoon Only time I didn't make it home Was on Highway 11 in the middle of snowstorm Only time I didn't make it home I was stuck in New Liskeard in a blizzard on a side road We were homebound We were home I see a tower up ahead And there's the Mata- river 'round the bend I know I've made it to a place of lumberjack grace, yeah Who's your mother? And what does she do? Turns out she's the daughter of a guitar-maker Who lives in Waterloo

Overthinkg all the ways In which we are the same In which we are the same Gets the best of me It's how I get myself to agree To go where I know you'll be There's something in the way you walk Only you, only you There's something in the way you came right over when you saw me When you saw me, when you saw me Overdrinking gin in the morning What do I do without you What do I do without you You'll be everywhere until I have you In front of me, in front of me There's something in the way you play It could go on all night, it could go on all night Don't wanna move on, wanna move forward Don't wanna be be strong, even though I'm gonna get burned Only you can stop me now And I'm not waiting for you It's just the way you move It's just the way you move I know I'm making some of it up But it's not all in my head It's not all in my- I know you know you turn me on Only you can stop me now And I'm not waiting for you It's just the way you move It's just the way you move There's something in the way you talk Only you, only you There's something in the way you said my name when you saw me It's just the way you move x4

about

Barren Acres Montreal, Québec

Both charismatic, the two halves of Barren Acres are ready to turn any venue into the theatrical settings of their highly spirited hike through an original indie-folk repertoire. Their songs are sometimes full of dreams and longing, sometimes filled with unapologetic restlessness. In both cases, they leave an impression, whether you’re a blooming teenager or a wild-haired grandparent. ... more
