Stumble 04:06
Memories come as a melody they get caught in my hair but not my feet so I’m feeling forward under my skin but that’s just a direction there is no way of saying If I stumbled through your dark would I wake up something that’s been sleeping Promises I’ve made that I know I can’t keep following in the shadows calling out cowards will you leave the light on if I can’t answer yes or no because in this moment I feel broken finding comfort in the cold So when I stumble through the dark and I wake up something that’s been sleeping I wish it could have been the best but that time had other plans so you buried it underneath and forgot all but the best of it you were just a kid and the forest taught you well so let it all go let it escape like water there is no need to save it up for later For when I stumble through your dark and I wake up all of what’s been sleeping

I always blame the city when I’m not well in my mind and I always choose pity as if it’s a power that we all hide then it always feels crowded let the clouds roll in relate with self deprecation on a cycle again I like a quick fix I could get dependent on but once I’m on my vice well I want to get off How does it feel? I’m in a first world I fight to find what I’m grateful for I’m feeling like an old dog begging at the back door I can’t remember an honest part of my head that would rather get up then go get stoned instead I’ve got a burning desire that I kindle with dread and what I lack in art I’ll make it up with cred How does it feel? Take my creation, sell it to the masses wrap it up in plastic chemical masks for animals ashes makes me want to blunt sores on my lungs what the hell’s been happening? Is anybody happy? How does it feel?

Lonely 05:20
Tipping over boxes I forgot to put away cluttering my mind with hypothesis stranded in parenthesis falling through the other side while we scrape off the underside, I hope no one has to see her in this light See the sky taking flight while you sang me this song caught up in between what’s right and what’s wrong your left-handed kisses still leave me weak I was nothing before, I was lonely Die down come around and let me know the mould that I fit into there’s comfort in not questioning the obvious living someone else’s story on the precipice of something true I hope no one has to see me in this light See the sky taking flight while you sang me this song caught up in between what’s right and what’s wrong your left-handed kisses still leave me weak I was nothing before I was lonely

Are you used to living in unnatural ways pulled in to cauldrons stirred and slipped down the drain we once surfed to float on gravity and with the waves we’d moon dance on So show me something of beauty that you made I want you to know you’re not just something to take I couldn’t tell you why I get lost trying to explain what’s been happening Go into a dream x4 Who would want to fight it Who’d wanna come clean? Tell me what it is what’s different and what’s strange one slip of mind on what is common to claim I’ll get worked up I’ll spit some fire but I’ll sink into the happening so I find solace in the quiet of a space, what a gift to give our ears over to a place we could with our hands craft the last great escape change the happening Go into a dream x 4 Who’d want to fight it Who’d wanna come clean? Go into a dream x 3 Who would want to fight it Who’d wanna come clean?

Tell me stories of the river in your language in your time, it’s like diving into the light of a bad dream, coming into the fire line, bursting open the seams of this patchworked memory, worn in by the friction of you and I Where do we go x4 Show me faces of your forest through eyes that are not mine because I forgot how to sit with silence hear the hum and the rumble of what’s below, help me re-write this story that’s based on god damn lies I’m so tired of living in pain so you can live and continue to gain colonization’s polluting my brain who is to blame that blood in your veins can’t get away because there is no escape, commit suicide just to settle the pain, thirsty for change because water is life, here on the rez man we’re boiling inside, stuck in the past because we never left the fear inside the greed and the death, open your eyes it’s ugly out here where can we go when we are living in fear? Where do we go I’m taking more than I can give through the laws they made to hold me up hoping for a better leader hoping for a way to see the constellations I don’t know how to read them so just pack my bags it’s not my land It’s not my land Where do we go Where do we go
6.
Trying hard not to break up this smooth communication I’ve been speaking without invocation, really not saying much you threw your glove down as a statement said maybe we were meant to make it, but it’s too hard so please don’t say it, just take it off Stop forgetting myself forgetting myself I’ll keep forgetting myself until I make sense So you’ll love me till I love you in all the ways that you deserve to I’m not trying to control you but it’s me I’m scared of so I’ll collect all the pieces of this shattered indecision I know there is no rhyme or reason I just feel alone Open up like a springtime blossom you’re trying too hard to keep it in losing my lungs because you don’t deserve them pin me down so I can feel something the record turns my body feels hollow echoes ricochet inside my lungs sending waves of colour into the darkness pathways to where we begin again So I’ll stop forgetting myself

Nostalgia 03:46
Won't you stick around maybe one more hour brush my face with your face please tell me you’ll stay in between breaths come home with a stumble count the stars until our legs become numb In this nostalgia bring me home this nostalgia I’ve forgotten their names but see their faces every day it’s like wading it’s like wading They call these the dog days little will be left of us well I hope that’s the case our ashes will be frozen in the glaciers, our bodies will lay and I hope that I land in your proximity In this nostalgia bring me home this nostalgia I’ve forgotten their names but see their faces every day it’s like wading it’s like wadding through the ether
8.
Take the time slow my beat is where you are we’ve been gone for far too long make that light gold, fade to black pick out them stars You be my midnight moonlight, hurricane touch, my sugarcane twilight with the hole in your lung I’ll be your silhouette canvas when your soul’s on me I’ll be your suitcase lover with the worn out dream Quiet soft glow, my nerves wrapped up in your arms your fingertips like raindrops from the heart take my body and soul make it go right back where you are You are that beautiful light babe You make me come undone I’ll be your moon you’ll be my sun You are that beautiful light babe you make me come undone I’ll be your moon you’ll be my sun I’ll be your moon you’ll be my midnight moonlight, hurricane touch my sugarcane twilight with the hole in your lung I’ll be your silhouette canvas when your soul’s on me I’ll be your suitcase lover with the worn out dream

High on You 05:24
Callous fingers tongue in cheek would I still call this beauty if I was never told come together now underneath them hazy clouds our love shadow is bold I wanna get high on you I wanna get high on you You speak of a trauma piece tightrope tripped up upon an endless dream to be all you can be And I’m floating in the middle wind blows thoughts through storm grey meadows with endless bloom and decay makes me wanna get high high on you I wanna get high high on you Put distance between us for me for you for us put distance between us because dependance is wrong put distance between us because my chest sinks when you walk away and my sight falls short Makes me wanna get high high on you I wanna get high high on you

One love big heart is going to mess you up as if my arms could hold your love root deep connect my fear is losing me to you sinking into someone else’s skin has never felt this good Push pull hold me let go Oh my love you’ve got me on a wire you’ve got me on a wire yeah you’ve got me Caught up in dreams that make us feel alive still suspicious of what I might find so can I share my wounds before you try and stitch them up and when I have scars will you still show them love Push pull hold me let go Oh my love you’ve got me on a wire you’ve got me on a wire yeah you’ve got me oh my love you’ve got me on a wire you’ve got me on a wire yeah you’ve got me Push pull hold me let go Oh my love you’ve got me on a wire you’ve got me on a wire yeah you’ve got me

Lonely, I don’t know where the world’s at but I don’t want to think like that so won’t you come and get me I’ve got new sheets, and I want to pull them over, the sunlight in the corner so won’t you come on under We could worry, but I don’t think it works like that I don’t know what’s going to happen next so won’t you come on under won’t you come on under Babe, I remember when I got it bad so going under’s just a happenstance of getting older honey, I don’t want to blame the way we change I don’t want to hold that pain, if it’s gone let it crumble I’m tired, because I always chase the setting sun but now I’m centered till I come upon what’s hidden under Take me back to where I was take me back to that because I think I’m rambling I’m a seeker feeling weak soul stretched from this body cosmic trip in rumination on the bends We could worry, but I don’t think it works like that I don’t know what’s going to happen next so won’t you come on under Won’t you come on under

about

Underneath Vancouver-based freak-folk duo Logan and Nathan's laid back vibe is an urgent call to action. With beguiling soul-infused grooves, they tackle relationships, consumerism, political apathy, the climate emergency, colonialism and indigenous rights on their breakthrough second album, The Happening.

"The Happening is an intentional look into the present," writes Logan and Nathan in the liner notes. "Inspired by the silence of cold, the loss and discovery of self, birds singing, endless space, by connection to earth and place; by a desire to see the world through different eyes." The duo spent a large portion of the last year in Eeyou Itschee where they taught youth in the Cree community through non-profit arts programs Youth Fusion and Mikw Chiyâm. Those experiences led to a rapid clarity of message. It also introduced them to Rex Smallboy of the Neyaskweyahk (Ermineskin) Cree Nation who co-wrote and raps on the track, "Where Do We Go."

Building on the intimacy they shared on their debut Chasing Tales (And a Few Other Things) (2018), and the fans they have been collecting through appearances at Canmore Folk Festival, house concerts and traditional venues, The Happening affirms Logan and Nathan an essential must-see.
