4. In The Dark

© 2002 Lyrics & Music - Rachel Prior, updated lyrics © 2012-18 Rachel Prior. © 2018 Arrangement - Rachel Prior, Chris Fowles, Max Serpentini, & Benedicte Schioetz. 


present life slips my grip , my mind slides out of place	
visions cannot cross my lips, memories I can’t erase

the more I fight the more I’m bound
to the corners of my racing mind 
running can’t escape the sound
of these nocturnal dreams of mine	

hoping I don’t break apart , fighting shadows in the dark
						
shadows climb and lightness crawls
absence hides behind these eyes	
no one hears my frantic calls	
no one sees me wave goodbye

crying out at night, praying to whatever god is there
reaching for the Light, getting out of this alive I swear

hoping I don’t break apart, fighting shadows in the dark	
	
no more waiting for the sky to fall	
or the earth to split in two		
I just want to know it all		
crack this secret, hear the truth	

I’m not gonna break apart
fighting shadows in the dark	
not gonna break apart
gonna trust the truth in my heart	
I’m gonna transmute through art,
fighting shadows in the dark
	
I’m not gonna break apart

04 - In The Dark

I wrote this song because I am now a father of three and can't stand to see my boys future ruined. Stephen Harpers damage to Canada and what it is we used  to stand for must stop and it must stop now.

OH...CANADA (ACOUSTIC)

Electro West Coast Raggamuff - Conscientious lyrics about how we weigh life's value & try to buy happiness... all woven into a reggae 1 drop groove.

Grass Is Greener

Love song I wrote to win my fiance over after we met on plenty of fish!

Stumble On

An acoustic song about the love between us.

RipTide

Beautiful Of Love

A love song about falling in love... literally.

I met my wife on "Plenty Of Fish" and wrote her this song to win her over.

Love Me

Seasons (Waiting on You)

Vancouver-based indie folk-soul group, Likewise, writes and sings about global change from the inside out. Likewise’s influences include folk, rock, gospel, soul and Canadiana. Imagine Joni Mitchell sharing a coffee with Dave Matthews, Birds of Chicago, and Half Moon Run. Likewise’s music holds a thread of optimism, sharing songs of hope and transcendence through the insanity and exquisite beauty that is our collective human experience. Their debut album creates a personal soundtrack in response to the challenges of our changing world.
Likewise have performed for enthusiastic audiences at Blessed Coast Festival in Squamish, Railway Club, Canadian Memorial, Kino Cafe and Metamorfest. They are popular regular performers at Vancouver Farmers’ Markets and Granville Island. This summer Likewise performed at cideries, breweries and wineries on the Sunshine Coast, in Kamloops and the Naramata Valley. Likewise also hosted and performed in the Night of Song house concert series. In March 2023, they will perform their CD Release concert for their self-titled debut at St James Hall. Audiences experience performances that take them from sacred stillness to energizing groove. From the haunting cry “In the Dark” to the upbeat anthem “Ageless Sun,” Likewise has their roots dug deep in the ground, and their hands lifted to the sky.
