Find a Way 04:03
Find a Way by Grahame Lesh I wish I knew the words to come home now My roads they drift away from the gun Keep my heart on the western horizon Hold the torches up towards the sun So I wait for the weather to find me Rubble left in natures wake Put the weight on my shoulders I will hold until the dawn will break And I thought I heard them say I would be there Drifting off through the jagged rails Tears fall beside me I will find a way I wish for nothing more than a night here Just a bed to lay my troubled mind Lay me down to rest now Pick me up in time to ride And I thought the fool would hold out now Calling out to voices unseen Trade for shelter for reason Hold out for one more day So I thought I heard them say I would be there Drifting off through the jagged rails Tears fall beside me I will find a way Oh and I say, “I keep holding back to where the night will never end. I’m hold out for one more day.” Oh and I say, “I keep holding back to where the noise will never end. Come back today.” So I thought I heard them say I would be there Drifting off through the jagged rails Tears fall beside me I will find a way I will find a way

about

Midnight North's new EP Stayin’ Single Drinkin’ Doubles released Saturday, February 14th, 2015 includes three songs previously only heard at live shows. The first track, “Stayin’ Single, Drinkin’ Doubles”, was originally written by local friends and fellow musicians with Hoosier roots, Jeremy Wilson and Kirby Lee Hammel. Elliott Peck contributed two additional verses to finish the story and added a female perspective to the song. This is about as country as Midnight North gets, it's also a fan favorite at live shows. Two different versions of the song appear on the EP. The two versions include a shorter, radio friendly version, and an expanded version, aptly titled the "Morning After Mix”. Both tracks include a guest performance by virtuoso Jason Crosby (Doobie Decibel System, Phil Lesh & Friends) on both fiddle and honky-tonk piano, instantly transporting the listener to an old western saloon scene. This tune is sure to have you swaying in your bar stool!

Next up on the track list is “Find A Way”, written by Grahame Lesh. Also a staple of Midnight North's live sets, this song begins with Grahame's singing and storytelling and then bursts into three part harmonies on the chorus, showcasing all three of the band's singers. Along with Crosby's fiddle, this tune includes another guest, Dan "Lebo" Lebowitz (ALO, Brokedown in Bakersfield) contributing a fourth voice to this song; his pedal steel guitar. Lebo’s pedal steel and Crosby’s fiddle playfully work off each other to add a beautiful depth to the arrangement.

Finally, “The Right Time” is a song written by Elliott Peck about luck, hope and good timing. It also showcases the band's three part harmonies and includes a searing electric guitar solo by Grahame Lesh that had our normally composed drummer in tears after a listening session in the studio!

Betty Cantor-Jackson, a pioneer in the recording & engineering world, now shares her skills with the next generation of the Grateful Dead family on this release. She artfully mastered all four of the tracks on this recording.
