LYRICS
i don’t know who needs to hear this 
sometimes it's good 
to sing your feelings 
and every time 
i open my mouth
hope something halfway 
helpful falls out 

and on the phone
i said it clear 
how could I
ask you dear
to hold the feelings
i don’t want to
when i distract and barely try to?

but here is one thing i am learning 
everyone’s heart burns for something 
and really what i wanted to be 
was everything you weren’t for me

this song is simple
but it ain’t easy
to sing it like it is
believe me 

these days we learn
to hold ourselves 
light your candle 
cast your spell
sing it like it is a prayer 
sing it like no one else is there
sing it like no one can hear you
sing whatever makes it feel new

i don’t know who needs to hear this
sometimes it's good
to sing your feelings
especially when you don’t know
the next line 
or how it goes 

i don’t know who needs to hear this
sometimes it's good
to sing your feelings 

i don’t know who needs to hear this 
i don’t know who needs to hear this 
i don’t know who needs to hear this 
i don’t know who needs to hear this

Lyrics:

Steady is the riverbed
Staying like the song inside my head
Taking on a different name
Never for a moment off its game
Steady is the riverbed
Reliable as Erik's known as red
Pistons on an iron beam
Running through on steam
Steady is the riverbed
Steady is the riverbed

Steady is the timber too
Steady are my hands, though they are few
I'll build a steady bridge from me to you

Steady is the ocean blue
Sticking like the stone inside my shoe
Chequered squares and empty boats
Keeping all our loyalties afloat
Steady is the riverbed
Plenty as the books I've never read
Blotted ink on parchment page
Never seems to age
Steady is the riverbed
Steady is the riverbed

Steady is the timber too
Steady are my hands though they are few
I'll build a steady bridge from me to you

Steady is the ocean blue
Steadily it pulls me back to you

Steady

See You Through will be the 3rd, and final, single released from Ian Randall Thornton's new album, Lineage. Following suit with the album's concept of family and heritage, this track is an ode written from a father to his daughter, instructing her to hold on to truth, awe, and wonder; in the midst of life's ups and downs. Thornton's rustic nuanced voice, and compelling sentimental lyrics, intersect with beautiful instrumentation, that seems to somehow fuse the folk music cultures of Asia and American Appalachia. Melody and lyric meld like time tested friends, and pull you towards the edge of tears before it's all over; an indicative trait of Thornton's vulnerable song-writing.

Lineage is Ian Randall Thornton's unreleased conceptual record about family and heritage. The album's striking cover, of Thornton's own grandfather fighting in World War II , immediately draws you into the vast beauty and weight of this stunning work. Honest poetic song writing pairs with breath taking musical production, that swings back and forth between timeless folk traditions and modern progressive post rock, to communicate the tension between honoring the past and embracing the future; both musically and lyrically.
