On a cool, gray morning in Granby, the world still feels bright when the hills rise steady around us. The Hills Roll On is a song about joy that keeps moving forward, laughter that carries across the valleys, and the simple truth that together we shine, no matter the weather.


(Verse 1)
Well the morning comes on the Granby ground,
Cool breeze carrying a gentle sound,
Smiles are blooming, worries gone,
Life feels easy as the hills roll on.

(Chorus)
Oh, the hills roll on, the hills roll on,
Lifting our hearts with a steady song,
Through every moment, dusk till dawn,
We're shining bright as the hills roll on.

(Verse 2)
Neighbors gather, the laughter's near,
Stories echo that we all hold dear,
Steps are light and spirits strong,
We find our joy as the hills roll on.

(Chorus)
Oh, the hills roll on, the hills roll on,
Lifting our hearts with a steady song,
Through every moment, dusk till dawn,
We're shining bright as the hills roll on.

(Bridge)
Seasons may change, but the truth's the same,
Hearts grow warmer when we call the name,
Granby's home where we belong,
Love grows stronger as the hills roll on.

(Final Chorus)
Oh, the hills roll on, the hills roll on,
Lifting our hearts with a steady song,
Through every moment, dusk till dawn,
We're shining bright as the hills roll on.

Verse 1
They charge onto the field with the drums still ringing
Fans in the bleachers wrapped up in the cold
Another long Saturday in the Pioneer Valley
Doing what they can with the hand they were dealt

Chorus
Give me a UMass minute
Hold on, they might just turn it around
Give me a UMass minute
They keep on standing their ground

Verse 2
Some say it's money, but the truth runs deeper
Plenty in the budget but the breaks don't land
Coaches keep hoping for a spark in the shadows
Trying to build momentum on stubborn sand

Verse 3
Still the team gathers by the goal-line huddle
Shoulders together in the fading light
One more chance to make the faithful cheer them
A little flash of glory before the night

Chorus
Give me a UMass minute
Hold on, they might just turn it around
Give me a UMass minute
They keep on standing their ground


UMass Minutemen

[Verse 1]
Sunrise creepin' slow
Coffee ain't yet brewed
The modem lights they glow
But somethin' felt askew

[Verse 2]
I tried to check the news
My social feed was gone
Just a spinning little wheel
Where the whole wide world had drawn

[Chorus]
Oh the internet blackout
A digital dust storm blew
Cloudflare dropped the ball
What's a poor boy to do?

[Verse 3]
No cat videos for me
No online shoppin' spree
The email inbox empty
A strange tranquility

[Verse 4]
My phone became a brick
My laptop a paperweight
The whole damn system glitched
A digital doomsday fate

[Chorus]
Oh the internet blackout
A digital dust storm blew
Cloudflare dropped the ball
What's a poor boy to do?

Amherst Gives Thanks

A long, hot loading dock is the birthplace of this one. Pickle Bot is our tribute to the folks who haul the heavy stuff and to the small crew that dared to build a machine to spare some backs. We leaned into that blend of sweat, hope, and MIT-sparked ingenuity, wrapping it in an Americana groove with fiddles, guitars, and a steady pulse that feels like a night shift rolling on. It’s a song about work, about handing off the dull pain of drudgery, and about the way one green arm can point toward a better deal for everyone.

A new one from The Americana Project, a story of backbreaking work, a green robot arm, and the people who built a better way. Pickle Bot keeps the shift moving and the hope rising.

(Verse 1)
Hot trucks, heavy load,
Boxes stacked and ready to go.
Green arm glides inside the spot-
Here comes Pickle Bot.

(Chorus)
Pickle Bot, Pickle Bot,
Liftin' boxes on the spot.
Hard work humans shouldn't trot-
Go, go, Pickle Bot!

(Verse 2)
MIT minds built it smart,
Circuits, sensors, robot heart.
Learns the job right on the dot-
That's our Pickle Bot.

(Chorus)
Pickle Bot, Pickle Bot,
Liftin' boxes on the spot.
Hard work humans shouldn't trot-
Go, go, Pickle Bot!

(Verse 3)
Warehouse floors, day or night,
Pickle Bot keeps things light.
One arm now, but future's hot-
Two-armed Pickle Bot!

(Chorus)
Pickle Bot, Pickle Bot,
Liftin' boxes on the spot.
Hard work humans shouldn't trot-
Go, go, Pickle Bot!
