Take a little, give a lot And never take it personal Try new things Never let them see you’re feeling low Give me time to play a while Look both ways and love your neighbor Keep the motivation high Only way that you’ll fail Is to let persistence die Give me time to play a while Play a while It’s what you do and not what you’ve said Saying it is easier Living well, well it’s hard Even when you’ve got it good Give me time to play a while Play a while It’s so hard, it’s hard Take a little, give a lot and never take it personal Try new things Like maybe I should let my feelings show Give me time to play a while Play a while

Lost Friends 04:18
I want to find you, I want to find you, I want to find you I hope that you’ll find me too Never forget you – did you forget me? You must remember – I think you think of me too Time that I left, I thought I’d return too That’s what they told me, And so that’s what I told you All this time and I’m still wond’ring ‘bout you- True friend – will I be seeing you again? I wanna know you – I want to know grown-up you My life’s affected-did you know that too? When they would tease you – their reasons I never knew First time I went to see you at your place Never considered metal a room with a view I’ve lost more friends than I’d like to be true – You were pure to me – I want to See you again – see you again – hug you again – free you again Eleven was the year that it changed for you Dropped out of school to work the fields and bring the family food Tell me nothing worse was ever demanded of you Did you live or die? I always wonder..

Shame On You 04:23
Shame on you When I say it what I really mean is shame on me Shame on me For expecting you not to follow human rules Expectation is a killer and a grave robber too Hope is the champion of the futures past fools Shame on me Your bar drops and mine goes down too We would agree Begging for scraps shouldn’t be what we do My faults are deeper, my head is weaker, my talk is cheaper, my dirt is freakier than you My knives are cleaner, my guns are steel-er, my thoughts are weirder, my mind is sneakier than you knew Expectation is a killer and a grave robber too Hope is the champion of the futures past fools

One Day 04:43
Wake up, you sleepyhead The whole world’s outside your bedroom Don’t waste another hour or two or three Cause one day might just come too soon Even if it’s stormy out You must just catch a rainbow Or maybe you’ll just get soaking wet But don’t worry, clothes were made to dry anyhow I hear young people put things off “One day, I’ll be old and my body broke” But one day might just come too soon Many of us live Many of us live without living Many of us will go long before our time Dwelling on the small things Dwelling for the sake of dwelling Dwelling cause there’s messes made of our minds Live a life that’s full of meaning Always feeling, never living with it, living with remorse Please forget about your ‘one day’. One day, one day, one day I realize that life will be hard And you feel you’re full of pain But please forget about your ‘one day’ One day, one day, one day, one day might come too soon.

The Letter 03:34
I got a letter from my friend across the water - really turned my lights back on “I’m writing to you,” he said, “from the highest mountain that I’ve ever been up on I remember when we spent that year together, winds had never felt as strong You told me to tell when I felt that way again, so here it is one letter long.” The whole world over, I’m searching for my four-leaf clover The whole world over, just watch it turn around (and around and around) I read his letter and I thought about my life here – urban living, life in song. I always think about the times when I could travel, choosing as I went along It gets much harder as your rooting’s getting stronger – more belongings, more stacked on I just can’t forget to take the time I need to wander – mind and body can’t be wrong Running around, flying around, break the ground, find new people town after town Free up your mind, take on new style, making time, do it while you’re still feeling fine The whole world over, I’m searching for my four-leaf clover. The whole world over, just watch it turn around (and around and around) The whole world over

Same Girl 03:40
Started out we were going to school Half is classes, half life lessons I don’t care if I’m learning the rules I’m always the same, always the same girl Moons passed and I’ve earned some wise Peel the layers, try some prayers Times are tough so why should I lie I’m always the same, always the same girl Always the same girl Take the time to travel the world Rose lenses out of your glasses Make the most so we all can get by I’m always the same, always the same girl Fall in love for the very first time It’s misguided, fates collided In the end we’re all gonna die But I’m always the same, always the same girl Always the same girl

I’ll stretch for love Never a dull moment beside the path of the heart I won’t live in the clouds You know it’s never ever been a straight line that keeps us apart Wrapped in those arms Just like the pieces of a puzzle you and I fit like a hand and a glove No line from a story book Learn to clean the messes, fix the broken pieces so we’re working again And I want you When it’s freezing and I need a place to be warm I want you When you’re feeling like it’s just too hard to push on I want you Cause I need to revel in the power of love I want you I want you It’s too hard to go at it living alone without you Give me your word A person can always be wrong, feeling their right, heated in fights Move the pride along There’s so much more for we to be Just keep a level head and I will do the same, I promise you And I want you When it’s freezing and I need a place to be warm I want you If you’re feeling like it’s just too hard to push on I want you Cause I need to revel in the power of love I want you I want you It’s too hard to go at it living alone without you without you, without you …

Took a chance hoping you would deliver on it, instead you spat in my eye Our promises were never made to be broken – truth isn’t absence of lies Waiting such a long time, such a long time, my doing’s turning into tries Made a promise with my best side, gonna live with my feet planted all around the line And I’m gonna keep on singing it: Take it slowly Exhale knowing Ever growing Just keep breathing from the belly to the tip of your tongue Take a walk with the wild and you can’t act surprised when you notice your burned Fate is such an easy thing to be tempted – I thought by now I would have learned Working such a long time, such a long time, my peace is something I’ve earned Stay away from friendly poisons, and now my luck is gonna turn And I’m gonna keep on singing it: Take it slowly Exhale knowing Ever growing Just keep breathing from the belly to the tip of your tongue What makes you think that you can ruin my life? Take it slowly Exhale knowing Ever growing Just keep breathing from the belly to the tip of your tongue

Twice I turned my back on you I fell flat on my face but didn't lose Tell me where would I go Tell me what led you on I'd love to know Was it the blue night Gone fragile Was it about the men In wonder steady going under Was it the light ways So frightening Was it a two wills One mirror holding us dearer now Thought I had an answer once But your random ways swept me along Colossal signs so I got lost With so many lovers singing soft Was it the blue night Gone fragile Was it about the men In wonder steady gone under Was it the light ways So frightening Was it a two wills One mirror holding us dearer now

Put it aside, rust through winter then go out for a ride Better health and good behaviours collide I just can’t have it any other way When I was young, Fiona, dad and I would ride just for fun But I would always be the straggling one Just once to have it any other way Very soon the days will come Well, the gas supply in nearly gone It will not be easy, but I plan to keep my quiet revolution on Twiddling thumbs really doesn’t give me comfort or calm I know it’s easier to sit than to run, but I can’t have it any other way I have been known for carelessness and I have been close to danger, but I will have no more remorse Just once to have it any other way Very soon the days will come Well, the gas supply in nearly gone It will not be easy, but I plan to keep my quiet revolution on I like to ride, I like to ride my bicycle I like to ride, I like to ride my bicycle I like to ride, I like to ride, I like to, I like to ride, I like to ride my bicycle

Passage 05:20
Life in less than certain terms in never what you think What you think Throwing down the seeds It’s hard to say where they’ll go Take from my eyes when I cry And when I laugh we’ll see who grows Follow in your step Only fools would say they know It’s goes so fast, but also too slow Catching a rerun of the ‘you’ show Life in less than certain terms is never what you think Blinding velvet curtains have a tendency to make you drink You think you’ve seen it all before I’d like a look into another world to see If we were meant to be Find yourself in love Or could it be it was just pretend? What if you found you weren’t wrong But it was still too late in the end Can you make me out in the night? Can you recognize my glow? Cause when it’s done, I will know Sneaking a peek at the coroner’s journal Life in less than certain terms is never what you think Blinding velvet curtains have a tendency to make you drink You think you’ve seen it all before I’d like a look into another world to see If we were meant to be Ohhhhh Life in less than certain terms is never what you think You think you’ve seen it all before I’d like a look into another world to see If we were meant to be

about

The Jessica Stuart Few Toronto

Called “amazingly charming” by Canadian icon Don Ross, The Jessica Stuart Few is one of Canada’s hottest new sounds in eclectic indie folk. Joni Mitchell-esque lyrics with heavy grooves on Japanese koto (13-stringed harp), guitar, bass & drums, the mix is unconventional yet somehow obvious, reminiscent of Joanna Newsom with the indie-jazz sensibility of Stereolab. ... more
