Lyrics:

I hear you now, loud and clear
I’ll find you when it all calms down from here
It’s true
I’m feeling so, but I don’t know, can I make this right, changing the game tonight
It’s true

Between now and then, the world might end
Can we cross the road and find somewhere to go?
Between now and then, there could be no more when
It might crash and burn and we all just play pretend 
That it’ll be alright, but this is how it ends

Time will tell, how it all plays out
flooding around or it’s burning to the ground
it’s true
The warning signs are clear to me, right before our eyes, but we’re head in the sand you see
It’s true

Between now and then, the world might end
Can we cross the road and find somewhere to go?
Between now and then, there could be no more when
It might crash and burn and we all just play pretend 
That it’ll be alright, but this is how it ends

The rising tides and topography
Soon, plastic islands on AirBNB for you
It’s true
Lets roll the dice, wait and see
We are fans of chaos and make believe 
It’s true

Between now and then, the world might end
Can we cross the road and find somewhere to go?
Between now and then, there could be no more when
It might crash and burn and we all just play pretend 
That it’ll be alright, but this is how it ends

This Is How It Ends

I sit here
Trying to figure it out
But I can't
So, everyday
I keep on going

But why
But why
Do I feel the need

But why
But why
Do I feel the need

To keep going
To keep working
For those
Who don't care
For those
Who don't care

Do I stop?
Do I end?
Do I cease?
Do I desist?

But, I sit here
Trying to figure it out
But I can't
So, everyday
I keep on going

To keep going
To keep working
For those
Who don't care
For those
Who don't care

I Keep Going

Written and Performed by Northern Sky

Crossing Bridges

Northern Sky is a Detroit/London-based collaborative formed in 2021, crafting ethereal music that blends dreamy soundscapes with cinematic depth. Their music strikes a delicate balance between melody, emotion, and magic, influenced by timeless artists like Nick Drake and Norah Jones, as well as modern acts such as Beach House and The National.

At the heart of Northern Sky is Rose White, whose voice, like a soft breeze at twilight, guides the band’s sound with transcendent beauty. Supported by Eric Stajda, Dan Kendall, Steve Baker, and Andrea Di Fiore—who weave intricate layers of guitar, bass, drums, piano, synth, cello, and violin—the band creates soundscapes that are both fragile and infinite.

Northern Sky’s songs are vignettes, like postcards from distant places, carrying echoes of fleeting yet eternal memories. Tracks like "Paper Flowers," "Swimming in the Rain," and "Aurora" explore love, loss, and the bittersweet passage of time. Their music reflects the profound beauty found in life’s quietest moments, drawing inspiration from films that capture the magic in the everyday—Cinema Paradiso, Stolen Kisses, Sleepless Night in Paris, and Before Sunrise.

Northern Sky invites listeners to step into a world where music is not just heard, but felt deeply, offering a soundtrack for introspection, inspiration, and everything in between.
