about

Greg saw an owl fly by his car on the highway.

lyrics

This night

Couldn't last another minute longer

Fills me with a sense of wonder

How's he moving so fast I'll spend the rest of my years in a stagnant attempt/ to understand
/This night

Has me worked into a state of panic

Can I take another exit to get to

Some place where he could feel unleashed in a righteous attempt to break the ice

What do you see at night?
From up on a street light
Looking out over a moon filled sky
The city’s alive inside
The cars just race on by
God I wish, I wish I could fly like you

So clear

That the cold is on the verge of snapping

I'll initiate this place of being

In my minds eye when I'm watching you fly and what's the point of pushing through all of/ this rush
/My friend

I've never seen you out here

But I see through the dark and it's so clear

That the closeness of you can let me drive right on through and the rest of this night will be okay

What do you see at night?
From up on a street light
Looking out over a moon filled sky
The city’s alive inside
The cars just race on by
God I wish, I wish I could fly like you

about

The Left Behinds Calgary, Alberta

A blend of folk, rock and acoustic music this band features good humour and tragic melancholy, often at the same time. Swirling guitars give way to indie drumbeats, and bombastic vocals trade off with gentle folk melodies in a way that is always unpredictable, yet somehow familiar. With a penchant for melodramatic crescendos, The Left Behinds are a band that refuses to be pinned down. ... more
