Lyrics:

I’m headed for the other side, where the light is always right.
Where we don’t have all these heavy plights, and the loving overrides.
‘Though I’m told this time will never come, I want it anyhow.
I’m going for the better life and I’m ready for it now.

Pent up like water in a dam.
Head down like all the lonely ones.
Messed up like all this news of guns,
That like to get drawn.

I’m headed for the other side, where the light is always right.
Where we don’t have all these heavy plights, and the loving overrides.
‘Though I’m told this time will never come, I want it anyhow.
I’m going for the better life and I’m ready for it now.

Seeing the problems here at hand.
Caught up with useless news and posts.
Helpless and feeling like a ghost,
Wearing nice clothes.

In this modern time, where we’re disconnected from
Ourselves and this land and we’re always on the run.
Can we turn about and notice what we are?
Living beings in the stars.

I’m headed for the other side, where the light is always right.
Where we don’t have all these heavy plights, and the loving overrides.
‘Though I’m told this time will never come, I want it anyhow.
I’m going for the better life and I’m ready for it now.

Long haul Trucking. Took me 29 years to find you. Run from Indianapolis to west coast every week. I see and here a great future in your songs. We need your music now.

Absolutely stunning. The lyrics are so spot on; In these modern times. Where we're disconnected from, Ourselves and this land. And we're always on the run. Can we turn about and notice what we are? Living beings in the stars. Just brilliant! So glad I watched This Mountain Life and discovered your music.

All your music was on repeat on my road trip with my girlfriend from Van Isle to Banff. It just fit all the scenes and moments so perfectly! Is that Mt. Work at the end of the video?

I like their sound, and the lyrics in some of the songs. But the lyrics are not even perceiveable in most of their songs. I have tried and can't tell what they are saying. It would help them if they'd just enunciate rather than slurring everything. I say this because the lyrics are good but who no one I know can understand them because of the slurring or whatever is going on. I say this because I'd like them to succeed.
