Great Rock song, fantastic voive and perfect orchestration.

great chorus and the dropout out at the really works; love the follow up with guitar hooks

Missed this one somehow, has a real cool jumpy to it and excellent vocal delivery

A swirl in your coffee.  Intelligent, reflective and emotional rock all melded into one. Lyricism that rings true to the heart within a spectrum of solid acoustic and electric guitars, synth/keys overtones, with a dab of just-right  percussion to complete the palette.

FIX TODAY (JunkHeap (c) Apr 05 2021 / Remixed/fixed Aug 2023)

Youtube video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxCJ314-GTg

Time travelling from this place,
I'd like to step through a gate.
Launched into space and time,
everything motionless; emotionless.

If today was my last day in this place,
that you and I lay to waste,
the tears would well up in my eyes, 
saying goodbye.

I go forward in time,
to see if we get it right.
Fix today. 
Not tomorrow.
Fix today. 

All I can send back is a brief message 
from the other dim, a text.  
No way to return.
I see the world burning.
Chaos and melting.
Just one little message. 
One little message.
I know, I know.

Fix today.
I hope we change
our destructive ways.
Fix today.
I hope we change.

Fix Today

Si près.

Texte: Sanzen 
Chant : Muette 
Musique : Alain Illos

Si près de moi 
 il n'y avait personne. 
 Plus d'aube, plus de lumière...  
Plus de nuit, plus de silence.
Plus jamais l'impuissance, 
les mâchoires de l'acier.  
Refermées sur ma vie,
  plus jamais l'obscurité!
J'appelle le ciel,
  toute lueur s'en est allée.
Jamais le mal,
  jamais la mort! 
Plus jamais la souffrance. 
 Si près de moi, 
 toute lueur s'en est allée.
  La nuit, n'est plus la nuit.
Plus jamais l'impuissance,
 les mâchoires de l'acier.  
Refermées sur ma vie,  
plus jamais l'obscurité!
Je guette ma vie, 
à l'orée  de mon souffle...
Plus jamais les ténèbres!
  Le désespoir.  
Si près du néant,  
derrière un voile obscur.
  Impuissant...
 la lumière aveuglante.
Le ciel, l'espoir  et la victoire! 
Si près de moi,  il y'a le jour.  
Si près de nous,  il y'a l'amour.

"Four Strong Winds" is a song written by Ian Tyson and recorded by Canadian folk duo Ian and Sylvia. Tyson has noted that he composed the song in about 20 minutes in his then manager Albert Grossman's New York apartment in 1962. A significant composition of the early 1960s folk revival, the song is a melancholy reflection on a failing romantic relationship. The singer expresses a desire for a possible reunion in a new place in the future ("You could meet me if I sent you down the fare") but acknowledges the likelihood that the relationship is over ("But our good times are all gone/And I'm bound for moving on ...").
The song has a clear Canadian context and subtext, including an explicit mention of the province Alberta as well as references to long, cold winters. In 2005, CBC Radio One listeners chose this song as the greatest Canadian song of all time on the program 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version. It is considered the unofficial anthem of Alberta.
Ian Tyson would recall "Four Strong Winds" as the first song he ever wrote and credits Bob Dylan with giving new impetus to Ian & Sylvia's career by inspiring the duo to follow his lead in writing "original folk songs":(Ian Tyson quote:)"We had to go in some direction, because we had used up all the real roots music from the Delta on north. Bob blazed the trail into the wilderness, into unknown territory." Specifically Tyson would recall meeting up with Dylan in the autumn of 1962 at the Greenwich Village bar Kettle of Fish:(Ian Tyson quote:)"this kind of little grubby kid in there"...said: 'I got this new song': it was Bobby Dylan - he sang me 'Blowin' in the Wind', he'd just wrote it. And I thought: I can do that"...He wrote 'Blowin' in the Wind' and the next day I wrote 'Four Strong Winds'."     Wikipedia

EVERYDAY (JunkHeap (c) Feb 2020 / Remixed/Fixed Aug 2023)

Everyday, I choose wrong to see it turn out right.
Everyday, I feel some pain to see it change in the light.
When it covers me with it’s paint; different shades of grey,
I know the canvas can be made bright again.

Sing a song for me and I’ll let you know if it feels alright.
Breath in the air so clean, and see yourself start to unwind.
The things that life will bring, mean you must never give in.
Small advice but it’s all from within.

Ch.
Everyday, we make our choices, sometimes they're misconstrued.
Everyday, we want things to change, but feel so screwed.

Everyday, think of collecting my things and driving off into the night.
Everyday, wake up cold without her warmth by my side.
With our passion, with our pain, take a chance once again.
Everyday, needs to challenge yesterday.

Ch.
Everyday, we make our choices, sometimes they're misconstrued.
Everyday, we want things to change, but feel so screwed.

LIVE YOUR STORY  (JunkHeap (c) Jun 2020 / Remixed/Fixed Aug 2023)
 
Oh, can you feel the sunset?
Oh, can you feel me beside you?
...and what are we waiting for?
...and oh, can you feel what I'm sayin'?
How deep your love has gone in your life, 
you know what I'm saying.

Oh live your story,
live your story.
Live it.
...and we continue, and see it all 
transpire oh yeah in front of us.

Laid out to see,
the leaves have taken on rust,
the sun built its warmth around the old,
then the heat of that sweet summer dusk.
We all bloom in its exhortation;
mix the seasons, 
see it for what it is, 
let's take it all in.

Oh live your story...
Live your story, live it.
and we continue, and see it all 
transpire oh yeah in front of us.

Oh, live your story.
Live your story...

Live your story.
Do the best that you can do,
keep it all in tune.

Live your story.  

Live it.

Live Your Story

IN THE RAIN (JunkHeap (c) Jul 2020 / Remixed/fixed Aug 2023)

In the rain, our arms wide to you.
In the rain, you save our souls, yes you do. 

...and the rain, it's a time for me to say 'I love you'.
with the ring, with a kiss.  My love, I hope it'll do.

Mesmerizing pitter-patter;
scent of a fresh storm; 
Delicious seeing water dripping down your form.
A cool drink from the clouds, 
nothing makes a person live their life more fully,  
like knowing how fleeting it can be. 

Break.

In the rain.
Feeling you splashing down from the heavens. 
In the rain, 
you make the clouds go away.
Kids can dance in the puddles made by you.
In the rain,
we know you are true.

Water droplets on my girlfriends lips, 
entices me to kiss them.
Wet leaves falling from trees, so precious...
...a clap of thunder after a funeral procession,
says that they'll go to heaven.

In the rain,
on a tin roof; window pane.
Hold my hand, love a rainy day.
as the drops come down so free.

In the rain...

In The Rain

WITH YOU (JunkHeap (c) Oct 25 2020 / Remixed/Fixed Aug 2023)

...and I stumble sometimes when I see you.
Don't even know why.
What can I do. 

It's what you do to me.
When I'm with you.
When I'm with you.
it's what you do to me.

Your delicate hands,
the way you put your attention on me.
A smile with the coloured leaves falling down,   
red, orange, gold.

it's what you do to me.
When I'm with you.
When I'm with you.
it's what you do to ...

Hold onto my hand.  
I need to feel your warmth.
Walking down the street.
Talking and just being.
Humans being.
enjoying each others company.

it's what you do to me.
When I'm with you.
When I'm with you.
it's what you do to me.

With You
