Obidiah I am in love with all the work and dedication to this album. It is extraordinarily beautiful from beginning to end. And the instrumental in the middle reminds me of a Copeland interlude. This will make you an instant fan of Joe's work. The guitars blend so well and the drums are heavy when they need to be while soothing when it needs to be. (take the song "Young" for reference) This will be on loop on my iPod for awhile. Favorite track: A Memoriam.

Upside Down 03:31
It's okay, just need to be alone Mark myself before I even go out of line It's fine, just need to put away your phone Cause you don't even know the difference between rhythm and rhyme I've gone upside down Sometimes, I've gotta come around I'm okay, it's not serious Really, to be honest, it doesn't really matter to me I'm fine, it's just hilarious That you don't know that talent isn't given for free
2.
It isn't hard to see why we get along It isn't easy to find where I went wrong But I'm here to say that it's okay to doubt it But I can't live without it, it's true Oh baby, I'm addicted to you (x2) We make it so hard in our minds No need to think it through (Cause) oh baby, I'm addicted to you It's not crazy to say I'm unsure of my life It's not crazy to think that I'm not always right But you're here, and it's true that I knew you feel called But you're stuck in four walls of different hues I can't turn away I can't find those words to say You know that I'm no good at But it's a pitch slow and straight, and I ain't gonna miss
3.
Broken Bones 06:10
I gave you a call and the phone moaned on, but you weren't home Oh, you weren't home I hung up and laid down in my bed, knowing that I'm all alone Oh, I'm alone But does it even matter at all? When it's all broken bones And blood spilled over Does it even matter at all? When I'm all alone It's a itching in my spine I took a walk through the world and no one knew or saw who I was Oh, who I was I sat down and tried to talk just to see if you had ever known me Oh, known me
4.
A Memoriam 03:27
I can't help it when it's coming too soon Guess I'll help it when it's through I wouldn't trade it for anything else Because I know in the end, everything was heartfelt But I can see when a true connection comes to pass And I know that "true love" doesn't always last But I'll try and give my all Be by your side at your call But everything was made to fall Maybe it's some kind of karma A hidden law of human nature Inside of us, knots have been tied All I can say is that I've tried
5.
It's an instrumental, ya dingus.

Young 04:52
I'm in no hurry (I) Guess there's time to wander Don't really care that much I don't know what I'm after But what if I'm taking it all too slow? Maybe I'm being crazy, but what do I know? But I'll keep my head up high even though I'm young Upside down I try to communicate What the heck does human even mean? I think it means never recreate
7.
2:20 03:11
I tried to take the high road I tried to make my own I'm walking with my bare feet and feeling every stone I walk the narrow I walk the line right through the door I walk the tight rope But I'm just like I was before How am I supposed to keep on standing tall When everything around me, it falls apart
8.
They think things will never change But they always do Just so slowly that we don't notice Until what we knew is all gone I gotta change someday Change before it's too late to say goodbye To who I was (Someday) We think people will never change But they always do A moment older, a moment smarter At least, that's what I've always been told
9.
Kaleidoscope 04:12
You're in a hot car in Winnipeg I'm in a market in Calarasi I can't pronounce the name quite right But it's okay, cause the feeling's there Right there, I swear Oh man, I know now that I'm selfish Cause if I wasn't, I would've thought of you sooner The better man always puts the other above him, winner or loser The plane flies over Paris And I'm staring through my phone Numbers fly through my head space Every day I've ever known Your name, I can't replace Even if I try Something just isn't the same It just don't feel right They say it's natural Pour gasoline on your heart and it'll catch fire But I feel like we don't understand the equation Or the value of the human connection And honestly, I'm sick of myself and the world I'm under the mattress of my love Curled hair surrounds me And it's getting uncomfortably okay But underneath my natural shell There's a mind and a soul that wants to be held in the light To not be ashamed by its thoughts and prayers And everything it's seen and heard But no one cares Do you even care? Hope somebody cares I hope you care...
10.
Twenty 03:44
Impeccably tight I keep my head up high Try to stand for what I believe in But don't wanna be a hypocrite Still I can't stand it (I should) keep up with the times But I don't have the time To be caught up on everything at once Inside my own mind Guess I'll keep on going strong Incredibly real Keep cool by painting my anger a shade of teal Don't tell me what I think I'm my own ship to sink And when I come to the edge of breaking through Don't pull me away Because I know that it won't seem okay But I'll break through one day, I'll break through

about

Ladies & gentlemen, this is my 6th full length album. It was started near the beginning of February 2016, but much of this album was written, conceptualised, recorded, mixed, and mastered during the span of around a week of time (June 7th-16th, 2016). It's probably the best sounding rock album I've made yet. I hope y'all enjoy it. If you donate money towards me, it will go towards the Help Joe Proulx Make Better Music Foundation. So, if you don't like the album, donate anyways. Aiiight?
