Lyrics:

The weather changes moods and pages
with the urge to burn with all the love we rage with
It was in November or maybe September, no it was October and the lines were drawn

Chorus:
Fall shadows hold the dawn
I've always wondered which side you on

Hold these hands through these iron gates
we’ll whisper secrets that don’t translate
"stars above the clouded sky never forgot just how to shine"

Chorus

Well map it out like the stars… with lines in the sand we carve
The wind will carry these words till the end
for the next and the next generation

Chorus

Power in the Blood is a sculpture of an artist ever-evolving and a statement of a life’s work realized - challenging, empowering, and celebrating the listener with each and every song. Featuring all but two original tracks, the album starts unpredictably with a re-imagined version of “It’s My Way,” a song that originally appeared on her acclaimed debut album. The new recording of “It’s My Way” demonstrates how her work can transcend generations and still inspire individualism and self-expression 50 years after it was written.
 
Recorded in Toronto, Sainte-Marie enlisted three different producers, a first for her, to help shape Power in the Blood. Michael Phillip Wojewoda (Barenaked Ladies, Rheostatics), Jon Levine (Nelly Furtado, K’NAAN), and Chris Birkett (Sinéad O'Connor, Bob Geldof). Birkett has worked with Sainte-Marie on four albums, beginning with the 1992 release  Coincidence and Likely Stories. He recognized from the start that Sainte-Marie was a singular force. “She pays a lot of attention to her lyrics,” Birkett says, “and when Buffy says something, she actually means something.”
 
Throughout her incredible half-century career each era has revealed new and distinctive shades of an artist revered for her pioneering and chameleon ways. There was no mold from which Buffy Sainte-Marie emerged; she created her own, ripened from experiences in both her head and her heart. Power in the Blood is a reminder that, five decades on, Sainte-Marie is a voice as vital and significant as ever. Like so much of Sainte-Marie’s work, it’s universal. “I love words, I love thinking, and I recognize and value the core of a universal idea simplified into a three-minute song,” says Sainte-Marie. “What appeals to me in folk music are the songs that have lasted for generations, but I wasn’t trying to be one of those guys. I want to give people something original.”

I LOST MY SHADOW

From Klee's forthcoming album "The Unsustainable Sessions," out November 26, 2019. Now available for pre-order via digital download or compact disk at www.kleebenally.bandcamp.com. The Unsustainable Sessions is Klee’s second acoustic album and features twelve songs that dig deep into contemporary Indigenous conflicts.

LYRICS:
if this is the season to harvest
we harvest what we have grown
our teethe like daggers
our nails sharpened on stone

our enemies surround us
there is a symmetry in this cycle
the land and the seasons
are weapons of our survival
 
in this war there are more than two sides
can’t you see the the blood in my eyes?
 
we’ve gone to war with empty hands before
like thousands of arrows, lightening crashing down
we’ve gone to war with empty hands before
with darkness and mother earth, we stand this sacred ground…

in this war there are more than two sides
can’t you see the the blood in my eyes?
