Atmosphere (Acoustic)

Our love it isn't new
But it never feels old
We leave each other hanging on, hanging on, hanging on
You keep opening the door
The years are flying by, flying by, flying by
Like pages in the wind
But you and I both know
I'm caught in your atmosphere
Close but I'm nowhere near
I thought that the sky would be clear
In your atmosphere
Our love it isn't new
But it never feels old
There's too much calm before, calm before, calm before
Forget what we're living for
Too busy to love, busy to love
And too tired to cry
And it's been a long long while
I'm caught in your atmosphere
Close but I'm nowhere near
I thought that the sky would be clear
In your atmosphere
Our love it isn't new
But it never feels old
There is no black and white, black and white
At the end of the line
I'm caught in your atmosphere
Close but I'm nowhere near
I thought that the sky would be clear
I'm caught in your atmosphere
Close but but I'm nowhere near
I thought that the sky would be clear
In your atmosphere, your atmosphere, your atmosphere

Strong Enough (Acoustic)

Fathers and sons, don't get taught how to love
Just keep your chin up, keep acting tough
Fathers and sons, don't learn how to cry
Oh the anger glorified, the rest we learn to hide
Looking in the mirror, I do not recognize
The reflection of a self I've synthesized
The image I've projected, I've come to realize
Is a reflection of a self, I have denied
Could I be strong enough,
To say when I've had enough
To carry on when I feel like giving up
Could I be strong enough,
Strong enough to admit when I am wrong
Strong enough, to admit I need someone
Could I be strong enough
Mothers and daughters, don't get taught to love yourselves
When they say you're beautiful, is it ever enough
Mothers and daughters, learn not to speak up
For the sake of someone else, you learn to hide yourself
Looking in the mirror, I do not recognize
The reflection of a self I've synthesized
The image I've projected, I've come to realize
Is a reflection of a self, I have denied
Could I be strong enough,
To say when I've had enough
To carry on when I feel like giving up
Could I be strong enough,
Strong enough to admit when I am wrong
Strong enough, to confess I need someone
Could I be, could I be strong enough
Could I be strong enough,
To say when I've had enough
To carry on when I feel like giving up
Could I be strong enough,
Strong enough to admit when I am wrong
Strong enough, to admit I need someone
Could I be strong enough
To carry on when I feel like giving up
Could I be strong enough
Strong enough to confess I need someone
Could I be, strong enough

Small Wonders (Acoustic)

Put a picture in the frame, folded the laundry
Greeted you warmly, in the morning light
The coffee stains erased, the mail sorted
To bring some order, to my disordered mind
Not a cynic but I struggle to be hopeful
And when you notice, is when I know
The only god I've seen
Moves so quickly in between
Details and dreams
Requited love, holding a child
The scent that follows rain
Or the wind that breaks like waves
And i am found, listening for the sound
What you see in the world
I see in you now
The simple things the first I took for granted
You won't understand this, until you're grown
The animals that speak in all your stories
In allegory, how it could be
The only god I've seen
Moves so quickly in between
Details and dreams
Requited love, holding a child
The scent that follows rain
Or the wind that breaks like waves
And I am found, listening for the sound
What you see in the world
I see in you now
A light so briefly in these bodies we have named
The smallest wonders, they illuminate the way
When you're seeing the world
Like I'm seeing you now
The memories that I speak of so fondly
Passed without knowing what I do now
Though you have found joy, you will know sadness
Wonders and magic, don’t let go

I was singing in the dark
Of every hotel bar
Trying to keep the spirit up
With a hole in my pocket and a broken guitar
All the people I met
All the times that they said
Can you play something happy
We could all sing along, but I can't pretend no I
I don't know, what I'm so down about
I keep trying to climb on out
Every night, when I'm singing
Moving closer to the lighter side of blue
To the lighter side of blue
Always caught in the middle
Between the light and the shadow
Nobody says it out loud
But there's a comfort in the quiet of a darkened house
When the ghost comes around
Guess I'm living with it now
I don't listen when it howls
I just turn the music up and I drown it out, no I
I don't know, what I'm so down about
I keep trying to climb on out
Every night, when I'm singing
Moving closer to the lighter side of blue
To the lighter side
What the hell is wrong with me
For all the light, I cannot see
There's a dark cloud hanging over all I do
And I wonder if I'll ever make it through
To the lighter side of blue
To the lighter side of blue

Zaac Pick recommends:
All Of It Was Mine
by The Weather Station
I first heard Tamara on a cold & rainy night in Toronto a few years ago, in a tiny room packed with 20 people rapt in reverent silence. Her music has been warming me from the inside ever since.

The Bearer of Bad News
by Andy Shauf
You'll be in suspense from the first haunting piano line, to the climax of 'Dear Helen', as Andy's gripping tales examine the dark corners of small-town life. I like to call it 'Prairie Noir'.
