Don't Waste Time

Sorry to find out about it 
Sorry to fall down, unstable 

Someday we can stop the fighting / Someday we can make it right 
In time we can end the crying / In time we will love, we might 
One day we can laugh about it / One day we can talk all night 
Maybe we can look back on this / Maybe I could wrap around you tight 

I was about to lose my mind forever 
But, in time, I put it all back together 

Someday we can stop the fighting / Someday we can make it right 
In time we can end the crying / In time we will love, we might 
One day we can laugh about it / One day we can talk all night 
Maybe we can look back on this / Maybe I could wrap around you tight 

Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight 
Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight 

Maybe I could wrap around you tight 

Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight 
Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight 
Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight 
Around you, around you / Maybe I could wrap around you tight

Sounds From The Treeline expresses a yearning for escape, simplicity, love, and togetherness. Vancouver, hemmed by mountains, ocean, and wilderness, looms like a panacea in the minds of Canadians accustomed to more dominating urban forms and a more punishing climate, and represents a living embodiment of the simultaneous desires for civilization and solitude. Lakefield, composed of Vancouver locals and transplants from Toronto and Edmonton, tells this quintessential Canadian story.

REVIEWS
“[its] sheer exuberance and honesty easily win in the end.”
François Marchand, The Vancouver Sun

“There’s so much sweetness on Lakefield’s debut… Rossiter optimistically sings with her dove’s coo.”
Gregory Adams, The Georgia Straight

“…one of the most interesting and best-recorded albums I’ve done…”
Bob Katz, Mastering Engineer

Around You

Don’t go, come on back and take me with you 
Not sure of where you’re going and where you’re gonna be 
I know it’s not forever just for now but 
Say so, you never know, you never know 

Don’t wait, it won’t be long before I follow 
Your name, engraved upon the stone above your head 
You’ll stay, underground and waiting for me 
That day’s not far away, not far away 

Old hearts, unpack your bags, you’re never leaving 
Under stars, waking up to sleep again 
Don’t ever leave, we’re near the end 

Your eyes are painted on the ghost that haunts me 
You’re right that I’m not ready for the other side 
Don’t cry, I’m holding on for just tomorrow 
In time, you’re ever mine, you’re ever mine, and 

Old hearts, unpack your bags, you’re never leaving 
Under stars, waking up to sleep again 
Don’t ever leave, we’re near the end 

Old hearts, unpack your bags, you’re never leaving 
Under stars, waking up to sleep again 
Don’t ever leave, we’re near the end

Old Hearts

Why you looking past my eyes? 
Why you looking past my eyes? 
Paris is calling and Beijing is falling 
London slips away 

Why you falling for these lies? 
Why you falling for these lies? 
New York is breaking and my heart is aching 
Darkness fades to grey 

Well, don’t worry darling, we’re gonna find a way to survive 
We’re gonna find a way to make it out of this town alive 

We can avert this disaster 
If we can put out the fire 
We can avert this disaster 
We can make it out of this town alive 

We could live in the forest – learn to hunt and to forage 
We could live so peacefully in a cabin up north where no one would ever hear 

We can avert this disaster 
If we can put out the fire 
We can avert this disaster 
We can make it out of this town alive 

Why are you looking past my eyes? 
Paris is calling and Beijing is falling 
Why are you looking past my eyes? 
New York is breaking and my heart is aching 
Why are you looking past my eyes? 
Paris is calling and Beijing is falling 
Why are you looking past my eyes? 
London slips away

World War Z

It’s the topline of a lifetime 
Everyday we stretch the limit 
Of energy / irony / you and me 
Take me downtown 
Affluence spreads / without consequence 
But it feels wrong, like a timebomb 

Take a look at what you thought you wanted 
Do you see where you went wrong? 
Turn back the clock and do it over 
Instead of designing a timebomb 

It’s a new day; brings a heartache 
We never even took a minute 
But anyway / who’s to say / brand new day 
Pushin’ onward 
Gentrify / socialite / suicide 
But it feels wrong, like a timebomb 

Take a look at what you thought you wanted 
Do you see where you went wrong? 
Turn back the clock and do it over 
Instead of desigining a timebomb 

It’s the topline of a lifetime 
But it feels wrong, like a time bomb

Timebomb

Pulling in the driveway in the dead of the night 
Calling to my baby to come out for a drive 
Passing through the neon-coloured city lights 
Rolling ‘round the corner and we’re out of sight tonight 

Flying down the freeway at the speed of sound 
Past the city limits so we’ll never be found 
Glancing in the rear view as I’m holding your hand 
We’re never going back there, never turning around tonight 

You and I 
A girl and a guy 
Even if we never make it 
There’s a chance so we should take it anyway 
If you’re right 
This’ll take all night 
And no matter what tonight brings 
You and I will be all right tomorrow 

Winding through the traffic, we keep going for miles 
Pull over to the shoulder and we’ll rest for a while 
Money in my pocket and a girl by my side 
Doesn’t matter if we make it, just as long as we tried tonight 

And I wanted to go fast / But you wanted the feeling to last 
Yeah, you wanted to go slow / Making our way back home

Girl By My Side

The daylight fades so fast 
And midnight comes to pass 
By morning, winter's here 
And summer disappears 

I never thought I’d see the day 
When all illusions slipped away 
No man to answer the call 
My past, my future, my fault 

Call and answer / You said you ran out of time 
Call and answer / You thought you’d tried 
All the answers that you’d set out to find 
Now or never 

The leaves fall, settling in the snow 
Unraveling secrets down below 
The sky turns black then fades 
And memory’s all that remains 

Call and answer / You said you ran out of time 
Call and answer / You thought you’d tried 
All the answers that you’d set out to find 
Now or never 

You stay the same, or make the change 
You never know what you’ll find 

Call and answer 

You stay the same, or make the change 
You never know what you’ll find

Call And Answer

That's how it goes 
You take one last good look in the bathroom mirror before the show 
That's how it goes 
Breath mint, time check, wallet and keys / time to leave everything you know 
That's how it goes 

The summer sunshine was not enough to make you want to stay
The north wind, to spite me, it picked you up and carried you away 

That's how it goes 
If you could choose only one thing to take down south with you when you go 
That's how it goes 
Make it this song to remind you of just how strong the north wind can blow 
That's how it goes 

The summer sunshine was not enough to make you want to stay
The North wind, to spite me, it picked you up and carried you away 
Winter weekends without you near will never feel the same 
The distance between us is not so great it can’t be bridged by plane

North Wind

So there you are 
Like a freshly fallen star 
Too hot to touch 
Too bright to stare 
I could try, but do I dare? 

I’ll roll up my sleeve so you can’t see my heart 
Though it’s long since stopped beating right from the start 
Of your lashy eyelashes right to the tip of your fingers 

I’ll write you up with a glowing citation 
And I’ll mail it off to the United Nations 
Who’ll appoint you the Queen of the three most beautiful stations

The Republic of Sunshine, the Kingdom of Sky 
And these United States of the Clouds That Float By 
So that I can live under your rule forever and ever 

So there you are 
Like a freshly fallen star 
Too hot to touch 
Too bright to stare

Republic Of Sunshine

From the first cry to the final breath, Lakefield’s story has been a humble one, co-authored by five complicated friends. It’s one well known by anyone who has ever longed to live and love through music: the euphoria of a perfectly executed decrescendo; the long fall on to deaf ears; the big-kid, major-label ambition, radiating energy into the void; the only aspiration being the sound of half breaths hauling heavy hopes up steep steps. Five untenable years, one full length debut album, and more than 25 live performances after Kate Rossiter (Keys, Vocals), Steven Luscher (Guitar, Vocals), Kyle Sulyma (Bass), Bryan Chiu (Guitar), and Paul Teehan (Drums) made their first sound, Lakefield is back to write their final chapter, pull up the covers, and blow out the light.

Legend has it that the mute swan lives its entire life in silence, until delivering one beautiful performance in the moment before its death. The Swan Songs EP, is Lakefield’s. Produced as a blood promise to each other to remember themselves as they were at the end, it was recorded on two continents, against impossible odds. Drummer Paul Teehan laid the foundation of this tombstone release in London at The Limehouse, their swan pond literally within view of the control room. With help from their most dedicated friends, the remaining members built the release atop those transatlantic recordings, back in the bedrooms and living rooms of Lakefield’s hometown – Vancouver, BC.

A stone’s throw from where Swan Songs was made, mute swans swim around downtown’s Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park. They are beautiful, but hindered. They can not fly, nor migrate, because their wing tendons have been clipped. Like them, Lakefield will never take flight again. With love, they leave you these, their exuberant Swan Songs.
