Easy Rider 04:20
Don't worry mama I drive real slow these days When I'm coasting on the old familiar ways Why I'm living out the best of all of my days So why, why do I piss it away? I'm in no hurry, mama I've got a real kind of hope for these days Thats why I'm ghosting anyone who gets in our way And I won't regret the past Or live in the mistakes that I have made No, I'm gonna live for today It's all we've got anyway I'm your easy rider Your precious cargo is safe with me I'm your easy rider And our troubles, baby, will fade with ease Why do I piss it away? Now and then I'll find a back road We can park in the shade of an old oak tree (uh huh) Along some fields of sweet tobacco Just like the place where you married me And would you do it again? 'Cause I'm your easy rider Your precious cargo is safe with me Yes, I'm your easy rider Our troubles, baby, will fade with ease Don't worry, mama I drive real slow these days

Red from the ivy, stung by the bees I spent the whole summer down on my knees Spade in my hand and heart on my sleeve I spent the whole summer down on my knees I beat back the jungle, the vines and the reeds I spent the whole summer hackin' at the weeds Smilin' I'll strangle them out Smilin' I'll bleed I spent the whole summer hacking' at the weeds All it takes is one idle day They will swallow you up where you lay When I am dead, let me sleep With the honeysuckle vines The ironweed and the dandelion Red from the ivy, stung by the bees I spent the whole summer down on my knees Spade in my hand and heart on my sleeve I spent the whole summer down on my knees I spent the whole summer

Floating away like love letters taken by a flood When he sent the rain to wash away the city We were building on the garden of an angry god You used to say that discovering me was like a drug Every day a little more to keep you hanging on You never thought you'd run out of stuff I'm letting go, now I become water I hope we end up in the same sea But it's not up to me We want to believe that there is a reason To each thing, a season Sunshine and rain Love, death, and pain And now you wanna plant flowers And read your book of hours You wanna walk around with Jesus Like it isn't some disease that you've been born into I saw the fracture lines In the plaster on the bedroom wall Like the branches of the family To embrace me or to hang me How could I ever hope to mend them all And now you wanna plant flowers I'm letting go, now I become water I hope we end up in the same sea But it's not up to me alone We want to believe there is a reason To each thing, a season Sunshine and rain Love, death, and pain Floating away

Without You 03:57
I wish that I could take that look you gave me To the grave, and it would save me But the memory is fading even now Of you standing in the summer rain And my life forever changed Though I've called it back again, again, again 'Cause I don't want to leave this place without you I don't want to leave you here alone I don't want to leave this place without you I don't want to leave this place alone The sirens in my ears ring louder every year And they call me to the beach when I'm alone They will be with me when the crowds have gone away So won't you stay? 'Cause I don't want to leave this place without you I don't want to leave you here alone I don't want to leave this place without you But everybody leaves this place alone Alone is how we came here and alone we cried When they pried us from our lonely mothers hands In the stolen lands when somehow we became friends If there is one life, or a thousand more to see Of joy and suffering This one is but a dream And I don't want to leave this place without you I don't want to leave you here alone I don't want to leave this place without you But everybody leaves this place alone Everybody leaves this place alone

Warm afternoon in autumn My undeserved prize Couldn't tell you how I got 'em Two girls with hazel eyes Two girls with hazel eyes In the garden, dresses flowin' Warm breeze across their thighs And the restless Cocksomb blowin' Two girls with hazel eyes Two girls with hazel eyes Must be all them good deeds I done Late at night, lord Must be all them fair fights I won Ain't that right, lord? Warm afternoon in winter Sunshine to my surprise In the dark heart of this sinner Two girls with hazel eyes Two girls with hazel eyes Two girls with hazel eyes Two girls with hazel eyes

I hope you know you're beautiful That's why I tell you all the time It's not 'cause I want you to fall For some foolish love like mine Don't let me put my arms around you I'll only drag you down My heart is sleeping soundly on the other side of town Don't let me pin my hopes upon you Don't let me drag you around the way I do Go and be a better version of you You don't want the same life all the time You'd like to be reborn each morn And if you need to breathe, It's not a crime I'll still be here to reach for, in these storms But don't let me put my arms around you I'll only drag you down My heart is sleeping soundly on the other side of town Don't let me lay my burdens on you And there was no better way than what I felt yesterday But there is no part of you I wouldn't try to unscrew, if you let me Just to see inside of you And when the sunrise found us I thought I saw another life Some other version of you One where you became my inspiration, drive Compassion, sense of humor, self, and fashion See how quickly these things happen Don't let it happen to me, don't let it happen to you Don't let me put my arms around you I'll only drag you down My heart is sleeping soundly on the other side of town Don't let me pin my hopes upon you Don't let me drag you around the way I do Go and be a better version of Go and be a brighter light to shine through Go and be a better version of you, of you, of you

Please love me, I'm drowning in an ocean of tears Pulled down by the weight of a thousand fears Won't you give me your hand, babe Before I disappear Please love me, I'm drowning in an ocean of tears Darling, I know a love like ours is so very hard to find And yet it's harder still to keep afloat In the river of time And if we should drift apart as lovers often do I'll see you on the shores of eternity's ocean Darling, I'll be waiting there for you Please love me, I'm drowning Such visions I see The kind of sorrow is crowning From the womb of misery While your sweetness is fading Fast from my memory Please love me, I'm drowning Careful you don't drown with me Please love me, I'm drowning Careful you don't drown with me

I've been on a lonesome road Just to see how far it goes If it even ends-who knows Learning as it bends to and fro And a storm on the horizon grows Is it all a fantasy? Or if it is what I'm meant to be And what is there besides, of me Turning with the tides Floating on the breeze 'Til a storm cloud breaks inside of me Will you remain my soft companion When the days turn into weeks Across the rivers and the canyons I will drive so you can sleep I've been on a lonesome road To anywhere the trade winds blow Here and then away again Would that I could stay, my friend But my shadow grows behind me And my rhythm slows 'Til you find me in the kind of places trouble goes And if the sun should rise behind me How the cracks will show Oh no

Dark Hours 04:59
There will be dark hours in our lives There will be dark hours in our lives There will be dark hours in our lives There will be dark hours in our lives There will be dark hours in our lives Don’t be afraid My love for you will carry me through space Just to see your face When I was a little child, running I had long blond hair and not a care And I might never had grown jaded If you had been my friend We could have played pretend And there was never anybody else I would have let inside They never held a candle up to you I only wish you knew ‘Cause there will be dark hours in all lives There will be dark hours in all lives There will be dark hours in our lives There will be dark hours in our lives There will be dark hours in our lives Don’t be afraid My love for you could carry me through flames And I’d return unscathed No matter what manner of demon Comes scratching at our door Dragging it’s belly ‘cross the floor There is nothing in this cold world or any other That could ever keep us from each other And when the cities that I build Stand crumbling on the hill I’ll remember what you said in your sleep When dark hours fall on me And as they sink into the sane We can watch them, hand in hand You are the sun and the moon to me And there will be dark hours in all lives There will be dark hours in our lives There will be dark hours in our lives There will be dark hours in our lives There will be dark hours in our lives Such dark hours in our lives There will be dark hours in our lives Don’t be afraid My love for you will carry me through space

Forever Home 04:11
You're my forever home That's what you are No matter where I've gone I'm never so far away That I'm more than a day from you And if you ask me to I can turn the ship around Or I can bring the curtain down 'Cause you're my forever home I think I've always known You bought me my Stylophone And you call me when I'm alone But if you should ever find There's a better home for you I would burn it all to the ground So you could start anew That's what I'll do for you You're my forever home Please let me in I know that I've been wrong But I know the past is gone And the love that remains is true But if you want me to I can fade into your past All you've got to do is ask But you're my forever home I think I've always known As long as I'm blood and bone I'll always come home to you But if you should ever find There's a better home for you I would burn it all to the ground So you could start anew That's what I'll do for you My forever home Oh, my forever home Home

about

With love and gratitude for all of the blessings and challenges that resulted in the creation of this record....I hope these songs find you, if you need them. I hope they help you remember that we are not alone. In our suffering, in our moments of joy and triumph, we are infinitely interconnected, having all come from the same place; this infinite, breathing universe; this hurting imperfect, beautiful planet has given us life. Our forever home. There is no one else and nowhere else we can be.

about

Shadwick Wilde Louisville, Kentucky

Rejecting the constrictions of genre, Shadwick Wilde’s songs touch each other’s edges, but each brings its own distinct vision, strung together by the common thread of Wilde’s muscular poetry, emotive vocals, and unique style of upside-down, left-handed guitar playing. ... more
