2018 Canadian Songwriting Contest Winner!!!! Produced by and co-written with  SOCAN Award winning Songwriter, Robyn Dell Unto. 


Everyone smiles when you're so low, you're so low, you're so low 
You picture yourself shaking them madly 
Everyone loves when you don't love, no you don't love, you're not in love 
And everyone’s love is shakin' you madly
 With your hands in your pocket 
No one touching no one touching no one in the pouring rain 
It feels like Salt 
Salt in the wounds of your heart 

Everyone lives a life that’s good
 You wish they would, you wish they would 
Dissolve like a star and fade like a summer
 Everyone’s swept flat off their feet and all they seek and all they speak are false flatteries 
The moon at their window 
Everyone’s pulsing to a beat that you can't keep 
No you can't keep the darkness out
 The moon at your window
 With your hands in your pocket
 No one touching no one touching no one  in the pouring rain 
It feels like Salt 
Salt in the wounds of your heart 

BRIDGE 
It feels like salt, It feels like salt
Everything breaks your heart...
 
With your hands in your pocket 
No one touching no one touching no one in the pouring rain 
It feels like Salt 
Salt in the wounds of your heart

Salt

Once invited in by his catchy guitar style, hit by his unique voice, you will soon recognize that that this guy is not messing around. Timo Brandt never sounds like he's trying to write a hit, but his songs won't get out of your mind quickly.

Timo's new album „Grounded“ is out now. It is a collection of ten songs that were given enough time to grow and develop. Timo, playing guitar and piano on the record, is joined by some great guest musicians including; UK/German Duo of Archer und Tripp on Clarinet and Percussion; his Dutch friend Ardie van der Knijff aka „Paper Branches“ delivered some amazing cello tunes; as well as German singer „Rina“, who created some beautiful female backing vocals. This album revolves in it's very own sphere that takes you from one song to another.

📝 Lyrics:

When you got that sinking feeling in your heart,
When everything you know just falls apart,
And you know it doesn't matter in the end,
But you're feeling like you've lost a friend.

Oooh, things change
Oooh things stay the same.
Maybe we could save this sinking ship but I'm afraid to go down with, so I'll be gone tomorrow's dawn.

When you see the end coming a mile away,
And the only thing you do is stay away,
And it isn't like you really have a chance,
The only thing you want is one last dance.

Oooh, things change
Oooh things stay the same.
Maybe we could save this sinking ship but I'm afraid to go down with, so I'll be gone tomorrow's dawn.

When all the yesterdays don't reach today,
You don't believe a single word you say, 
You been sleeping on the floor for a couple weeks, 
You've lost your mind, your love, your voice, your keys. 

Oooh, things change
Oooh things stay the same.
Maybe we could save this sinking ship but I'm afraid to go down with, so I'll be gone tomorrow's dawn.

No, I won't leave the door unlocked,
Cause I hear footsteps in the hall. 
I am here if you want to talk.
But I  won't survive the call. 
And I won't leave the door unlocked. 
Cause I am haunted by the ghost, 
Of a life that we used to share, 
I can't pretend that I don't care. 

Oooh, things change. 
Oooh things stay the same.

📝 Lyrics:

This tale moves quickly in the night
It drags all the dirt I've left behind
These steps they are small and unprepared 
For the remnants of a thought
Once past and now long since forgot 

Maybe call me in the morning please 
Just to wake me from this sleep
Because nothing ever happens here 
And I am foolish from the fear 

It seems like forever and more
But it's closer than you have ever known
As I pull away the floor beneath my feat
I am broken at the seems 
So I'll stay and take all that I need 

Maybe call me in the morning please 
Just to wake me from this sleep
Because nothing ever happens here 
And I am foolish from the fear

📝 Lyrics:

I used to think I would die
Here alone and I was fine
Leaving nothing much behind

A few guitars, a couple lines
A broken heart, white lies
A white light opened my eyes

When you’d float through the door
I couldn’t close them anymore

Hey, I’m not ok, but I’m better than I was
Say, it’s been some day laying out here when the sun
Stays long till it’s late and the colors we become
Hang, lingering and fade
In some time it comes back up
Give it time it comes back up

I used to want a little more
No matter what I had before
Never enough and never sure

It couldn’t be what I couldn’t have
No moments ever coming back
But I don’t need those empty hands

Now they’re filled to the brim
When your love slipped in

Hey, I’m not ok, but I’m better than I was
Say, it’s been some day laying out here when the sun
Stays long till it’s late and the colors we become
Hang, lingering and fade
In some time it comes back up
Give it time it comes back up

If you ever feel like nothing here is yours
There’s so many days but none they made you for
I can promise you there’s sunrises in store
Though the nights are long there’s peace you’re walking towards and

Hey, I’m not ok, but I’m better than I was
Say, it’s been some day and we’re finally in the sun
Stay long till it’s late and the colors we become
Hang, lingering and fade, in some time it comes back up
It's so bright now that you've come
And you’re finally in the sun

I used to think I would die here alone, oh what a lie

Canyon City - OK (with lyrics)

lately I’ve been floating by
won’t take much to drift into the night sky
with shallow breath and hollow bones
one more gust might fly me to your room
but is there even room?

maybe we’re destined
to be felt and forgotten
all at once
I think of you often
you’re something to get lost in
and I’ve got losing to do

some of us are made of string
others break and never feel a damn thing
can’t remember which I am
lying here in this hotel bed
just imagining 

maybe we’re destined
to be felt and forgotten
all at once
like Egyptian Cotton
you’re something to get lost in
and I’ve got losing to do

lately I’ve been floating by
won’t take much to drift into the night

Felt & Forgotten

📝 Lyrics:

Come out darkness
Come out demons
I’ve been breathless
For so long

And I’ve been wandering
Through the desert
Where my mind was
For so long

Oh I’ve searched for something true
Oh I’ve searched for something new
But I haven’t found it yet

I’ve been reckless
I’ve been wretched
It’s been so hard for me babe
To be your man

Cause I’ve got a devil
With a pitchfork
Resting on my shoulder
I’m an inch away from being damned

Oh I’ve searched for something true
Oh I’ve searched for something new
Oh I’ve searched for a way out to your love
But I haven’t found it yet

I’ve been searching
For my whole life babe
When I look in front of me
I see your face

You’re the only sunshine
I wanna lay in
Bring me out of the darkness
And let’s turn another page

Little Bit of Love

Into The Moon is about being present and in the moment.

I wrote the song at a time when I struggled to intentionally take periods of rest during one of the most challenging times I'd ever faced. Even when I did, I found my mind just couldn’t stop thinking about the next thing I ‘had to do’. I'd made achievements and work my idol.

The image that really encapsulates this feeling is what the single cover artwork turned out to be. It's just me sitting with my wife with no agenda. Just slowing down, being with her and focusing on the moment.

Allowing myself to be.



Endless night
Broke by sunlight
I wish I could have seen it

Beauty comes
Then it goes again
Oh I wish I wasn't dreaming

Oh I'm sinking under
Oh I'm struck by wonder
You're calming my oceans with all of your notions it's fair to say safe to stay

And wait as we gaze
Into the moon

Holding time
Has never been my strength
It's been my weakness

To get out of my own head
And, lay the feelings to rest
Oh I wish it was that simple

Oh I'm sinking under
Oh I was led to plunder
I'm caught in fighting myself and denying it's hard to find the silver lining

I'll wait as we gaze
Into the moon
