at first you took the night like wolves you hear from miles away just echo in the sky
where one day you were born and the next you’re just waiting to die

at first I took my time wanting to comply like a child
but when I found your words they were broken and they cut me like knives

well honey that’s alright, got this feeling inside I can’t describe
and I won’y waste my time trying to find a significant line

I’ll just say it like it is, you and I were kids
In the skin of a lion in his den letting nobody in

I remember what your mother used to say
Took a village to raise a kid, well what about today
as you sit there alone in your home you can barely afford

I guess I kind of know the feeling you felt
I just wanted love ‘cause I had none in me
Well is it too late to look in the mirror and not know who to be

Miles and miles of paper birds wandering outside these walls
All your demons out for more, cannot seem to settle the score
Hanging on to bits of thread, all these lies inside my head
Maybe I should quit all this, maybe I just need some rest,
You told me once that meaninglessness is meaningful in time and bliss
Go ahead and steal my lines they’re stolen from some other time.

Everything is endlessness, everything is put to rest, suffering’s irrelevant, consciousness is consciousness,

If everyone was born the same well I guess there would be no one left to blame

Lyrics:
Old Bones get me every time
I feel them in the water lines
I’m weathered and aged to know
But I still hear it running and the plants that grow

I wanna be, I wanna show
That I’m still worth it, not ready to go
I still can run faster in my mind
But my body’s slowing down and I’m out of time

Put it down, or leave it up
It’ll come back around just soon enough
Keep what’s left and hold it close
Let the door close soft behind  my soul

Hear It Running (Old Bones)

Golden Hours

So Far Gone

When to listen: when you’re lost, when you’re locked out, on a run, in the shower, when you’re on a boat, in a cool car, on a depressing tube ride, on a happy bus ride, while cooking eggs in the morning, when at a boozy summer picnic, pouring your 3rd glass of rosé, when attempting any sort of gnar, when trying to impress a chirpse, when things aren’t quite going your way, when you miss your friends, when you can’t decide what to listen to, when the DJ looks like he takes requests (I’m serious about this one).

I've Been Lost

Chris Ho turns everyday melancholy into a bold and empowering art form, rather than a well-kept secret. A folk-meets-indie-pop artist based in Western Canada, his music explores themes of self-expression, understanding one’s identity, and gender nonconformity. His music is a dynamic blend of raw, earthy acoustics with idealistic indie-pop melodies and honest vocals.

Ho has independently released one EP (Answers, 2011) and two full-length albums (City of Dust, 2012; Places You’ve Been, 2017), as well as toured throughout Western Canada (having slept in his old Toyota Camry on more occasions than he’d like to admit). He looks forward to the release of three new singles throughout 2021.
