All of Our Dreaming

The turning point for me appeared
At an age it seemed I had no fear
I had found my way and started down this road
By the time we reached the Hideaway
We had climbed the heap of dumps to play
So we moved away to conquer all this world
All of our dreaming would always save us again
All of our dreaming would always carry us through
Carry us through, again
The turning point for me appeared
At an age it seemed I had no fear
I had found my way and started down this road
By the time we reached the Hideaway
We had climbed the heap of dumps to play
Disband, L'etranger, D17 Teenage Head, last call
All of our dreaming would always save us again
All of our dreaming would always carry us through
Carry us
All of our dreaming would always save us again
All of our dreaming would always carry us through
Carry us through, again
All of our dreaming would always carry us through
Carry us through, again

Hands of Time

Let me take back the things I said
I never meant to wish you dead
I hope there're better times ahead
If I could turn back the hands of time
I would never spend a dime
On those foolish fears of mine
You take the side of the winners
And turn your back on the losers all around
Sometimes it's hard to be myself
And when things around me change
I might turn on you again
Sometimes it's better not to ask
If there's meaning to this task
So just roll with it and laugh
You take the side of the winners
And turn your back on the losers all around
Don't forget, that it's never far behind
You take the side of the winners
And turn your back on the losers all around
Don't forget, that it's never far behind
Don't forget, that it's never far behind
Don't forget, that it's never far behind

Dear Henry

Dear Henry you expect so much from me
I've settled on what's easiest it seems
Staying here at your expense
Doesn’t really make much sense
Of Henry why expect so much from me
Oh Patience you’ve not heard the last from me
Not likely because I don’t give in easily
If I could only recognize what is truth and what are lies
Oh patience I will learn eventually
So judgement turn that blinding light away
It’s easy to be critical of me
I don’t mean to laugh at you
But I don’t share your point of view
So judgement shine that light away from me
There’s a path that led us here
There’s a truth that we still share
In between the two, there must be room to reconcile
So Henry don’t expect so much from me
I’ve settled on what’s easiest it seems
Deal with all your demons first
Before you make this problem worse
Yeah Henry you expect too much from me
Oh Patience I will learn eventually
So judgement turn that light away from me

Company Man

The company man was singin'
The most beautiful song
The telephone was ringin'
And it rang on and on and on
There's a view from the steeple
High above this factory town
A simple light from a distance
An endless grind if you live it
There's a room full of people
They don't make a sound
They're just listening
Foreheads glistening
If by chance you return someday
Would you kindly take me away
If by chance you return someday
Would you kindly take me away
The company man was singin'
The most beautiful song
I wasn't thinkin'
So I just sang along
There's a view from the steeple
High above this factory town
A simple light from a distance
An endless grind if you live it
There's a room full of people
They don't make a sound
They're just listening
Foreheads glistening
If by chance you return someday
Would you kindly take me away
If by chance you return someday
Would you kindly take me away

I ain't waitin' for the cryin' to stop
Tonight I'm goin' over the top
When is enough never enough
I can't seem to stop
Mini bar superstar
Mini bar superstar
I won't throw up on your...
I know when to stop
I know when enough is enough
I won't throw up on your laptop
Mini bar superstar
Mini bar superstar
I ain't waiting for the crying to stop
Give me the key
Give me the key

Brother's Keeper
07:10
|

Sometimes things are the way they seem
And sometimes they're not nearly so straight forward
We spent nearly all of our time together
No need to say much because we knew each other
I'm my brother's keeper
I don't feel I owe anybody an explanation
What with all these folks pokin' me for answers
I don't owe anybody anything
I know we seem different to you
But from where we're standing
You seem pretty different to us, too
You're not gonna fool me, are ya?
Your ways are not our ways
You're not going to fool me
Into saying I did something wrong
Because I didn't
I didn't do anything wrong
He was my brother
Sometimes things are the way they are
And sometimes they're not nearly so straight forward
Brother's keeper, brother's keeper, brother's keeper
I'm my brother's keeper, I'm my brother's keeper
It's you who insists there's meaning in this
It's me who reveals that's just how it feels
Don't lose that tune boy
Is all I'm saying
No better ending
No chance of changing
I've nothing left boy
Is what I'm saying
No better ending
No sense remaining
So you dress the corpse
And you close the lid
And you make the arrangements
And you fill me full of secrets
Because this is family business
We spent nearly all of our time together
No need to say much because we knew each other
I'm my brother's keeper
That's all the talkin' I'm gonna do
That's that's that's that's just about close enough now
You know, you know you corner a dog
He's not just gonna sit there is he?
No no no he's gonna bite you if he has to
So go on, go on I ain't sayin' no more, now
I ain't sayin' no more to you now
So go on go on
It's you who insists there's meaning to this
It's me who reveals that's just how it feels
Don't lose that tune boy
Is all I'm saying
No better ending
No chance of changing
I've nothing left boy
Is what I'm saying
No better ending
No sense remaining
This dust room, with you, with you
I am not the one...
That's all

Skydiggers (Official) Toronto, Ontario

Listen to "Employee of the Myth" today!:
eek.lnk.to/SDEOTM
One day, if someone with perfect penmanship and a great memory for details takes up a Canadian Rock Family Tree project and plots the development of the Canadian roots rock community, they may discover that many — if not all — branches and roots at some point interconnect with the Skydiggers.

As a lifelong fan of psyche, I was delighted to have found this, stunned that I'd missed them for three decades and devastated by the news of Dallas' passing. Makes many of the album's lyrics even more poignant. I hear echoes of the Chocolate Watch Band, Long Ryders and both the pop and country sides of the Byrds. Stunning, and a contender for my album of the year.

Any time Jim Bryson releases new music is cause for celebration and Country Wifi doesn't disappoint. Trying to pick my favorite track was like asking me who my favorite child is (okay, I'll admit it's the second one).
