about

In the Spring of 2015, we embarked on our first cross-Canada tour with our best friend, Colin Close. The three of us lived out of a minivan for two months and got to see more of this amazing land that we call home than we ever had before.
These are songs inspired by each part of Canada that we were fortunate enough to visit. These are songs about home: The people who raised you; the people with whom you choose to grow old; the four walls that surround you; or the land into which you were born. We are constantly drawn back to that place on a day-to-day basis. That is our Magnetic North.

This is the opening track off of our new album Magnetic North! It will be on our Magnetic North // North EP, coming this Spring!

If you like it, share it with as many people as you possibly can. If you hate it, give it to someone you don't like very much.

lyrics

The winter winds
have covered my tracks in the snow.
Don't know where you came from,
don't know where to go,
it's a desert of sorts just out your front door.

Where can I go, where can I run?
Where can I go, where can I run?
Trusting myself has lost it's fun,
Where can I go where can I run?

Are you still my compass?
For magnetic north's got a half a mind to pack up and leave me.
Throw my world off it's axis,
but now's no time to throw it to the wind.

Where can I go where can I run?
Where can I go where can I run?
Sky above, sea below,
where can I go, where can I run?
Where can I go, where can I run?
