V1
Is it worth the cost to make it stop
All on red will the house take the loss
Said that nothing I’d do or nothing I’d say
Would make you turn your back away

Chorus:
But will you feel the same
Will you kiss my face
Tell me we have a bond that can’t be erased
Will you feel the same with your hopes in
flames
Can I be this brave

V2:
Is it worth the cost to risk it all
Hope you’re there as the chips start to the fall
My love for your peace is taking a toll
And is that even what you’re asking for

Bridge:
Are you living on a hope
While I’m living on a prayer
Are you praying that I’ll change
While I’m hoping that you’ll care
Oh is it worth the cost

Hymnal

Brave

Second single from upcoming EP "Hymnal" the song speaks to the fatigue, frustration, and alienating feeling when religious communities and families try to "save" you

Running On Empty

V1:
When we were young sleeping on the side of the road
Arms around your waist
Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, Tom Waits,
never felt so in love
We were too young to know, old enough to care
You made me a ring from some string
and I never really doubted we’d do the real thing

Pre-Chorus:
Tugging at your clothes
My final barrier to you
But we could break through
No we could never break through
Taking turns to wait, no mistakes
Can’t give it all away
While asking is this ok?
When it was never ok

Chorus:
Our bodies embodied what we’d never say
While saying True Love Waits
Somebody tell me how we got away
with saying True Love Waits
It was easier to walk away
Oh it was easier

V2:
When we were young our love was a serious test
If it’s on your mind, do the time
Raise your eyes to the sky and let God do the rest
Unsure, unstable, and covered in prayer
If we closed our eyes real tight
maybe we could forget what we felt in the night

Bridge
True Love Waits as we fade away
Fought the finish line
Faded from the fight

True Love Waits

Keep Me High

Say Goodbye (I Won’t Even)

Written by Adaline
Lyrics:  Lay your life on mine and I’ll carry you through
Make good use of time and I’ll stand with you
Cause I’ve got all my life to love you and so do you
So there’s no home for doubt
If you’re scared we’ll work it out
And the lives that we share could be anywhere
For as long as you’re mine we can stand the test of time
For the cost is too high not to love
Put your cares on mine and we’ll carry them through
Walk the firing lines with the power of two
Cause I’ve got all my life to save you and so do you


Cost is Too High (Not To Love)

Written by adaline, Hawksley Workman, Marten Tromm

Lyrics:
Making eyes at two hundred feet 
Your awkward silhouette
Fire crawls up inside your skin and tickles down your back
Love sick air inside our lungs exhales at quickened pace
I could love you like a high school girl with age across my face
Dizzy heat I can feel the beat of the pulse inside your chest
This is the spark that we’ll remember
This is the spark that we’ll remember
The one that brings us all together
This is the spark that we’ll remember (harmony)
Take care the little lights that pull each other through
Pale pink light through our closed lids
My salty twisted mouth
Sun kissed hands that wander free and feel me inside out
Bodies doing what they’re made to do under foreign sky
We’re endless shades of the same blue
Filled with perfect light
Dizzy heat I can hear you speak of the endless summer hue


Sparks

Lyrics:
Holding firm through every season
Through my own contempt for reason
Empty spaces where our words dwelled
Climbing up one hundred stairwells
Moments when the secret passage
twists in a relentless fashion
We have no desire to find our way
Yet here we are, standing strong
In the midst of it all
And we don’t really need another path to take
We don’t need another heartache
Dodging eyes of condemnation
Breathing deep in our salvation
People pull with tireless passion
Stretching limbs in each direction
One who claims to know what’s true by
pasting thoughts with thread and glue
They’re filling broken bottles with new wine
Clinging to what’s left in us alive
We’re waiting for the chaos to subside
And I’m breathing in the stillness of your heart
The hope for release, for peace
Here we are, standing strong

Third single from Adaline's upcoming release "dear illusion,"
Written by Adaline and Maximilian Jaeger
Produced by Maximilian Jaeger

Lyrics
Paper thin I waste away
Caught up in an endless phase
Trying to tell myself you'll fade
While clinging to the mess we made

Keep me waiting anticipating
You keep me waiting anticipating
And now I know what I've been missing

Cause I feel your body like a ghost
Breathing in me everywhere I go
Even when she's with me
We're not alone
Her hands are your hands wrapped around my throat

You are best loved from afar
Cause when you're close we both leave scars
So bury me to make it stop
And don't come back to dig me up

You keep me waiting anticipating
keep me waiting anticipating
And now I know what I've been missing

Ghost

Last Time

Canadian alt-pop artist Adaline fuses powerfully evocative music with an emotionally unbound lyrical honesty. This authenticity appeals to her growing fanbase and is why she is considered "one of the best young songwriters in the country" (CBC Q) and "a rising Canadian talent that takes listeners to angelic heights" (Billboard Magazine). She has released four critically acclaimed studio albums garnering millions of streams, dozens of editorial playlist adds, and a nomination for “Pop Album of the Year” at the Western Canadian Music Awards.

A prolific songwriter, Adaline has had songs licensed in more than 85 film and television scenes including multiple songs on Grey’s Anatomy, 90210, Tiny Pretty Things, MacGyver and more. She collaborated on songs for The Canyons score starring Lindsay Lohan with Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene and was selected for a composer residency at the prestigious Norman Jewison's Canadian Film Centre. There she collaborated on a music video with Grey’s Anatomy star Giacomo Gianniotti for her song “Nostalgia”. She composed the NBC Short Thriller “Fear of Mutilation” and short film “The Red Balloon” currently premiering in film festivals across the US.  She is also the voice on over 50 national commercials airing in Canada and the US.

Adaline’s queer ballad "Ghost" was licensed to the popular LGBTQ+ TV show Wynonna Earp for a groundbreaking love scene. Fans connected with Adaline's experience of growing up as a minister's daughter and her journey of reconciling queerness and spirituality. This sparked a community now non-profit organization, of which she is the founder, called Bad Believer (www.badbeliever.org) providing resources, therapy referrals and community for LGBTQ+ people healing from spiritual and religious trauma. 

Adaline's upcoming EP “Hymnal" (March 2024) is inspired by the stories of the Bad Believer community. Produced by platinum selling musician Chris Coady (Beach House, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Grizzly Bear) the EP opens with snippets of voices from the community followed by "Brave", a coming out ballad highlighting the vulnerability and anxiety of coming out to family and religious communities.  Following tracks speak to the heartbreak of being rejected by community, the fatigue of justifying who you are, and the failure of a church system to embody the kind of love they preach.  The tone then shifts to a more hopeful gaze with "If Something Is Good" encouraging us to fight for our valued connections and closes with Adaline's love letter to her parents called "What Love is All About", showcasing the power of love when one is fully accepted and embraced.
