lyrics

I miss the bus driver, mailman, the cops
Skateboarders running red lights, but don't stop

I miss the lady who talks to herself in full sentences
but won't look at anyone else
I miss the busker with two rusty strings
Who tends to blow his lunch everywhere when he sings

Cause it didn't matter one way or the other
Unlike now we're so scared of each other
Scared of each other

Sometimes A beggar had his shit down
some kind of gag or some joke that he found
I'd flip a buck or a toon if I had it
Brother it can't always be this bad

I'd take a free hug from some unknown stranger
The risk is worth taking, what's really the danger

Cause it didn't matter one way or the other
Unlike now we're so scared of each other—Scared of each other

I miss Louise who poured beer in a bar
Pretty good singer too, maybe a star
Just to sit down and say, "Hey, you all right?"
Watch some lucky fella get lucky that night

It would not be me, no my dance card was loaded
But it's a beautiful thing watching how it unfolded

Cause it didn't matter one way or the other
Unlike now we're so scared of each other
Scared of each other

about

Whitehorse Toronto, Ontario

Ethereal folk, Space Cowboy twang. Psychedelic spaghetti western. Intergalactic blues grooves. Pop noir. Since their debut in 2011, Whitehorse has evolved from magnetic folk duo to full-blown rock band. In truth, Whitehorse is never fully either one or the other, but an ever-evolving creative partnership that challenges both artists to explore new instrumental & lyrical terrain with each project. ... more

I am not really an expert in today's country music. I know and appreciate Sheryl Crow or the Dixie Chicks, but that's it more or less. NIKKI LANE's rocking style with a decent rough edge fits quite well to this "strong women" references. Several songs are catchy and always welcome on my soft music playlists, check for example "First High", "Born Tough" or "Black Widow". H.L.

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
