Courage 04:05
Pour out the hope of attachment  you can draw on the changing shore line.  The sand and rocks are replenished  Day after day after night  time after time after time  Should we delay our imminent extinction  and feed the soil that we've denied?  Would the earth not still be providing  Life after life after life?  Look within and you'll see a star  spark of sunlight begins to grow  Grow the ground as it turns to soil  that soil the center of us all.
2.
Know/No 04:27
I leave today not far away I go  seeking solitude to better know  why motivate, root out the hate  that's deep inside  That was passed to me  without my knowing  oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no  The road is paved  the blinders made for the same mistake  It takes intention to forge a new way  I know, I know, I know, I know, I know  I'm not myself, I am myself, I know.  I see myself, I blind myself, I know.  I hold myself, I pass myself, I know.  I have a self, there is no self, do I know?  Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no  I know, I know, I no,  I know, I know.
3.
Spirit Riot 04:05
Said, we're here to stay.  I come from the mountain the valley and the river field,  I walked my way from the city  and the bright lights  to the tops of trees.  Yes, I know my nature  It's deep inside of me  and we're here to stay  See it coming down  Your iron cranes  Your concrete walls  Your email suits  Your permit cards  Your busy eyes  Your high rise thrones  Your shadow lines  Your god of lies  See it coming down.  See it coming down.
4.
Another 03:21
Will we evolve our compassion to live outside ourselves? What is stopping our ability to empathize with them? Accuser or advocate. Manifest appreciation of the self and find that self in another. Pull it back it's time to look under. Are you willing to go further and no where at all? A time to resist a moment to stay, all our hypocrisy cast a shadow of who we are, another.
5.
Vision 03:50
Give me vision so I can see Will the storm pass? The last is withering Or is it gonna fade into the wind? Go and seek this journey through all the lands you can hold in your body at this moment. Give me vision so I can see Can we wake up? Give me vision so I can see
6.
Refining 02:28
From hands who help make it.  Come hands who help break it.  It's not really safety if taken by fear  or truth if taken by greed.  It's burning off, impurities rising  It's melting down, shape refining  Refining Refining Refining
7.
Seasons 04:32
All the leaves are falling  with the change of seasons  we will change with them.  And the roots are widening  to prepare for winter  it will make us strong.  And the softness of the spring rain  it calls us back  it calls  us back again.  Though the meadows grow and bloom  we know the flowers wait to turn to fruit.  Sing hallelujah for the seasons grow us  change us as they do.
8.
Breathing Skies as if they're ashes the reeds they bend with every wind. Scattered futures of the harvest an inhale out and exhale in. The heat it humbles to the ground only to regrow again.
9.
I walk these stones through the fields of bones.  I sleep with the lambs and the wolves.  I see the smoke from the chimney tops  and I wait for the peace in the storm.  Slow down and wait for the light to break  Slow down and wait for the birds to wake  Slow down and wait for the bread to bake

about

Høly River's debut full length album "Courage' is a collective body of songs to illuminate the liminal space. Like a lantern on a moonless night, this album was written to accompany the listener through the thresholds of personal unraveling and reformation. Perhaps focused more on the process of  unraveling, "Courage" is full of fire and wind the tools needed to clear the field so that new seeds can grow
