Its like my doubt is out to get me
I thought you'd always be here with me
But if we've come to a divide
I'll see you on the other side
I used to feel alive with you
But we were in life's waiting room
Well things are different than before
And Im not waiting anymore
I watched the golden sunset
And it kissed my frozen cheeks
My spirit wilted and weary
Like I had been awake for weeks
One week the grass was green
The next the sun forgot
And first I lost my sense of the direction
Then I lost my train of thought
I tried to take a walk
And wound up getting lost...
And who can write a love song
When all the love is gone
If the world is just a wasteland
We might as well have dropped a bomb
We have always been
The means to our own end
The fear that holds us tightly
Will twist our good intentions
Into something we can't recognize
That leaves a painful scar behind
That may or may not heal with time
And can you hear the distant sound
Of a lonely rock thats lost in space
Where wasted time is never found
And is the future brighter underground?
This album and Brighter Future are twins. Recorded at the same time, in the same place, by many of the same people. Nora is completing a circle with this record, and I feel lucky to finally hear it. The Juniper Drive
Robert is easily my favorite NoDak songwriter. Beautiful, powerful & understated music with melodies that move and shake me to my core. You'll be listening to this one on repeat, all winter long. Nora Nygard
