Lyrics:
It was a long night for everyone,
The moon yields to a sober sun and her virgin light
 
Can’t unsee the things I saw
Fallen devils, false gods
In the violet light
 
Was it always this magnificent, cause it feels so different
In the morning light
 
Like the first word from your first born
Landscape transformed by the virgin light
 
How many times I’ve wished for change
Gave up, gave in, and called it fate
Repeating all of the same mistakes
Wasn’t ready for what I’d find
 
Whatever it is has turned the knife
It was a long, long night
 
It was a long night for everyone,
Felt the dull hum of wanderlust
In the morning light
 
Can’t unsee the things I saw
Fallen devils false gods
In the violent light
 
But now I finally see the sun
Drew out my wings flew over high tide
It looks much different in the daylight
 
How many times I’ve wished for change
Gave up, gave in, and called it fate
Repeating all of the same mistakes
Wasn’t ready for what I’d find
 
Whatever it is has turned the knife
It was a long, long night
 
I’m finally reachin’ to the sun
10,000 years there is a long time
Did you getaway?!
 
I’m finally reachin’ to the sun
10,000 years there is a long time
Did you getaway!?

Lyrics:

Long before I knew you I was tumbling back home
I was just pushing down the pavement
I was turning into stone
And you run, and you run, and you run, and you run got to pick up your knees

As long as she don’t kill us we’ll be stronger in the end
And every boy out there on Bogle Street is dying to get in
And you run, and you run, and you run, and you run got  to pick up your knees
And you run, and you run, and you run, and you run got to pick up your knees

She gave me room to amble, with brier and bramble
And the old  red door was always open to the angels and the devils
And nobody was young when they heard her mouth when she told us everything we never knew
It was the song of the grande madame

Mother Maple I drink from your syrup
And I am thankful for the blood that you bleed
We’re in the sugar shack making our porridge
And you have given us more than we need
And I see more and more how you suffer, and not for nothing
But you can’t often get the air that you need
When your roots leave the earth I will stay and get my honey from the trees

Laughter in the cottage house, could last for hours long
When we heard the last gasp we all gave up our mother’s song
And you run, and you run, and you run, and you run, and you run

Mother Maple I drink from your syrup
And I am thankful for the blood that you bleed
We’re in the sugar shack making our porridge
And you have given us more than we need
And I see more and more how you suffer, and not for nothing
But you can’t often get the air that you need
When your roots leave the earth I will stay and get my honey from the trees

“Again, it’s all 1987 to 1993 and that was so much a little kid’s mind working in all daylight during the summers and all darkness during the winters. That’s just total sci-fi. That’s so Fantastic Planet and Light Years and all the cartoons I watched when I was little. You end up just looking up at the stars for 18 hours a day. It really gets your imagination going. Everything that we did on this album lyrically was so much fun for me to do because it was so easy to step into when I was 10 years old.”

We the Common

We the Common (For Valerie Bolden)

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - We The Common [For Valerie Bolden]

Since forming in 2005, the Rural Alberta Advantage (Nils Edenloff, Amy Cole and Paul Banwatt) has earned fans and critical acclaim with their unique style of percussive indie-folk songs woven from tales of singer/songwriter Edenloff’s Alberta heritage. Edenloff’s exodus from the province inspired the band’s name and many of the songs from their enthralling debut album, Hometowns, originally self-released in 2008. Buzz grew quickly as indie music fans discovered the record and championed the band online as digital music retailer eMusic.com featured the record in their Selects program spotlighting unsigned artists. Hometowns became the highest-selling Selects act in history and a critical darling nearly overnight, appearing on dozens of “Best of 2008” lists in newspapers, blogs, and radio podcasts across North America and Europe. 

The inspiring DIY success story of the Rural Alberta Advantage has continued to gain momentum and attract fans and followers of their exciting live performances and gritty, honest songs. A breakthrough performance at the 2009 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas won the ultimate seal of approval from Pitchfork (“This band could be huge”) and a nod as a “buzz band” from the Associated Press. More glowing press reviews and sold-out club dates in major cities throughout the United States have followed and Hometowns will be released properly for the first time on Saddle Creek in July 2009.

Drain The Blood

The Rural Alberta Advantage's percussive folk songs about hometowns and heartbreak, and relentless tradition of touring have taken the trio from humble recognition amongst indie rock die-hards as "Canada's best unsigned band" to sold-out tours and devoted fans around the world with featured coverage from Spin Magazine, Pitchfork, The New York Times and Rolling Stone all taking note. The band has been nominated for two 2012 Juno Awards (Best New Group and Video of the Year for their song “Stamp”), long listed for the 2011 Polaris Award, and awarded the CBC Music Prize for Best Independent Artist in 2014.

The RAA has released three albums on Saddle Creek/Paper Bag Records: Hometowns (2009), Departing (2011) and Mended With Gold (2014). The trio of Nils Edenloff, Paul Banwatt and Robin Hatch will be hitting the road for set of road testing shows to preview the new material they’ve been working on and carve out these new songs in front of their fans in a live setting before returning home to record in between each run. The tour will swing through some of the band’s favourite venues across North America and Europe throughout 2016/2017.

Some words on The Rural Alberta Advantage:

““Regardless of your tastes, if you care about drums at all, Mended With Gold is a must-listen.” –Pitchfork

“The Rural Alberta Advantage are best seen live, where their acoustic crescendos and Nils Edenloff's Jeff Mangum-esque vocal acrobatics impress most.”  -Under The Radar

“There's something that just makes you want to root for them -- as Edenloff introduced "Tornado '87", a song about a twister that ran through Edmonton, one of the many Canadian bros in attendance shouted: "I LOVE TORNADOS!" That's making a connection.” – Coachella Festival coverage, Pitchfork

“The intensity of like “Stamp” and “Don’t Haunt This Place” lean on Banwatt’s marathon-runner stamina and fills, and it’s safe to say the band’s great melodies wouldn’t sound the same without him.” – “The 10 Best New Rhythm Sections”, Paste Magazine

“The crowd sang along to all the ‘oohs’ and danced to songs like The Deadroads and Frank, AB, even demanding an encore that would never materialize in a festival like this. Will this show rate among the weekend’s best? Too early to say, but it’s a strong contender.” – Montreal Gazette at Osheaga Festival
