Dale Nikkel's record, 'Still Learning Tricks' is a total gold mine. I came to this record through a buddy of mine out west, who does a bunch of the guitar work on this record.
'This New Leaf' is like an anthem for me. It's an extremely big song in a beautifully small package.
The great divide doesn't look so wide today
Maybe I'm seeing a little bit of light
From over the mountains
And it's such a pretty sight
Can't say I've felt such peace in a long time
And the tightrope towards the hope that I've been walking
Seems to be fading
I've done my service
To the religious circus
Trading these narrow views for something new
Hey hey, celebrate with me
The other side of this new leaf I'm turning
Freedom cmon in and take your seat
Hey hey, celebrate with me
The day that I can finally be
Truly free
The great divide doesn't look so wide today
The stream from the mountain flowed so fresh
And I drank from that fountain
So cold in my chest
Finally found what it means to rest
Hey hey, celebrate with me
The other side of this new leaf I'm turning
Freedom cmon in and take your seat
Hey hey, celebrate with me
The day that I can finally be
Truly free
The great divide doesn't look so wide today
I'm no longer wandering on my own
The old mountain stones
It's like they're paved with gold
No longer with my old life in tow
And the tightrope towards the hope that I've been walking
Seems to be fading
I've done my service
To my emotional circus
Trading these narrow views for something new
Hey hey, celebrate with me
The other side of this new leaf I'm turning
Freedom cmon in and take your seat
Hey hey, celebrate with me
The day that I can finally be
Truly free
You can get the record on iTunes.
