Lyrics:

I go all day to the,

Milky way, where I,

See you painting in the shadows


I see your light, over

Darkened sky and I

Wonder how the paint will scatter


And no one told you so,

The lights go out,

And the people go home,

My, you’ll be left alone


So welcome to the show,

Welcome to the show now


You’ll really get to know yourself

You’ll really get to know, why

Your heart is on the line


You twist the mould, then you,

Make it bolder

Tip the oil in the batter


You peel the sign and

I, solve the crime when I,

See the poison on the ladder


And no one told us so,

The colours stream

In black and gold

And, my, you had let them go


So welcome to the show

Welcome to the show now


You’ll really get to know, yourself

You’ll really get to know, why


Your heart is on the line

Your heart is on the line


The staircase winds as

Your body climbs

Further, to the fragments in the mirror


The lines are strummed

Till you, see the blood, running,

Piece your body back together


And in this wild soul

The line is struck,

The rhythm glows, on

My, you are all you know


So welcome to the show

Welcome to the show now


You'll really get to know, yourself

You'll really get to know, why

Your heart is on the line, line, line

So welcome to the show

Lyrics: 

Your lights are off and on 
You’re like a helicopter in a storm
I wanna help you, but I don’t know how to do it alone 

All I wanted was to talk to you
But you had your lights on, and your mind was through the roof 
And what you said 
Just made no sense
To me

Now you're in trouble in the dead of night
But you’re staying, so quiet

Now your down 
And your friends are here to say 
Welcome to the chemical gang parade 
And you were lost in sleep for 18 days

And no one came, to find you
You wake up, in the dust, of your darkened room
You light up, as a crutch, to see you through 

Now you're in trouble in the dead of night
But you’re staying, so quiet

Lights, go, out 
                          
Lights go out, and now 

Now your in trouble in the dead of night
But you’re staying

This is the title track from Todd Adelman & the Country Mile's new LP 'Time Will Tell'. Out now, order your copy here: bit.ly/2rboc4H

Colorado singer-songwriter Todd Adelman has perfected a mix of heartfelt roots-based musical storytelling that draws inspiration from such iconic references as Hank Williams, Gram Parsons, Jerry Jeff Walker, Townes Van Zandt and Robert Earl Keen.

Ben Wilson – bass, background vocals

Eben Grace – Electric Guitar, Pedal Steel and Banjo

Produced by Todd Adelman and Jeff Finlin

Mastered by Joshua Kessler at Kessler Mastering

On his upcoming release, Time Will Tell (May 12), Adelman’s sixth full length album, he and his band The Country Mile enlisted Jeff Finlin to help produce the effort.

“Jeff is a seasoned and highly accomplished songwriter and producer in his own right, as well as a good friend,” says Adelman. “I thought his approach to record- making would be a good match for this band and this batch of material.”

As for the title, Adelman notes that Time Will Tell sums up the album’s tracks. “Though I named the album and wrote these songs a few years back, they are more pertinent than ever given the current state of affairs,” he said. “This record straddles the line of looking at the past, questioning the present, and hoping for the future.”

Indeed, as an assiduous student of the art of songwriting (he co-founded the Boulder Area Songwriter’s Exchange in 2000 after spending time with Jack Hardy), Adelman takes the lyrical side of things seriously: “When I make records, I am very aware of the narrator’s voice throughout the body of work,” he added. To that end, Time Will Tell traverses an exploratory map of subjects spanning time’s passage, ranging from concerns about the changing national climate, to the challenges (and advantages) of getting older, to even the simple love song.

Like other committed storytellers, Adelman finds inspiration as he goes about his daily life: “’Underdog was written for Bruce Springsteen after I read his biography, and ‘Wild Women Whiskey & Weed’ is an anthem I co-wrote with my dear friend Michael ‘Banker’ Bank on a road trip home from Kansas City,” he relates. “’All My Tears’ was inspired by a story I overheard; I liked the way it fit into the theme of the album.”

Adelman and his band The Country Mile, recorded the tracks live at The Mountain House, an analog and heavily vintage recording studio tucked away in the woods outside of Nederland, Colorado, where he lives and has worked on a number of other releases. Time Will Tell will be available upon release on CD, as well as a limited run of double records at 45RPM with audiophile quality.

“This is the only record that I’ve recorded completely with my band; no outside musicians aside from [our engineer] who made a cameo on guitar on the final track. I have tracked most of my records live and Time Will Tell was also recorded live with very minimal overdubs aside from the background vocals.”

Adelman’s previous five releases have garnered critical acclaim, and 2009’s “Todd Adelman & The Love Handles landed at No. 4 on the National Roots Charts and No. 1 on the Colorado Roots charts, as well as made its way into the Americana Music Charts top 100.

Adelman is set to promote and tour with his current band Todd Adelman & The Country Mile in support of Time Will Tell.

12 May 2017

Tired Of Being Tired

Oh my love Oh my love

Oh my love Oh my love

 

Memory touching, gently memory

cold and damp you frighten me

clean you are the air I breathe

just a memory

 

Memory

can't go back to memory

dejavu you sadden me

alone inside of history

just a memory

 

I remember when you told me 

don't reach for them

with one hand on my shoulder, let them come to you

you've got a voice, he said, don't reach for them

believe what you are saying, let them come to you

 

When you dropped me on the corner, I feel the shame I felt 

I feel my heavy body, I wrote the things I couldn't tell 

I see a dark-haired beauty, I feel her hands on me

I feel the crowded bar, I hear the old man sing



Memory touching, gently memory

cold and damp you frighten me

clean you are the air I breathe

just a memory

Memory

Based on the novel "The Light Between Oceans" by M.L. Stedman

Lyrics:
Once upon a western island
a keeper and his wife
kept ships from crashing on the rocks
kept secrets from the light

a veteran of the first worlds war
no tenderfoot to dying
he kept the oil burning bright
but he couldn't keep her from crying

a third child lost to blood and tears
alone and miles from shore
so when the cry came from the beach
their weakened hearts were torn

Chorus:
Little Lucy was oh so loved
oh so loved
a mother's loss was a mother made
and sometimes right and wrong look the same

a babe wrapped in her mother's clothing
her father cold in the skiff
a tale of death and loss and fate
to the child they did give

so on the island lucy flourished
his darling wife reborn
tom was grave to tell the truth
to the lighthouse he had sworn

chorus

two years allowed a trip to town 
they brought the child to baptize
it shot the story they'd told themselves
their lucy's mum was alive

we've torn a child from her mother he cried
we're all shes known and loved she screamed
don't do this to her, tom or to me
i beg you let it be

chorus 2
the bond of the three on that island alone
no blood could erase
the child battled the mothers unwraveled
and tom he sought out all the blame
yes tome well he sought out all the blame

bridge

but truth be told lucy would have died
if not for the two on the beach
so her mother allowed her, now grown, with a baby of her own
to visit her longed for memory

isabel had passed but tom held the babe
and thought of the three at the light
and the laughs and the swims and the love they shared
and the pain of turning wrong into right

Lucy
