When you find your heart is broken it's cold and sad and blue
You may find it surprising
you may not know what to do.
You can ask it to be decent you may ask it to be kind
a broken heart may hear you but it won't pay any mind
fish to swim
birds to fly
hearts to flood you when you’re dry
but I've got one that is broken
It's not that someone broke it they've all been so good and true
I didn’t mean to do it, but I guess it’s been mis-used
If Jesus knows the answer He's hiding it from me
or maybe I just don't like people doing things for me
birds to fly
fish to swim
hearts to light you when you’re dim
but I've got one that is broken
And I know I'm not a doctor guess I could be wrong
When I open up my heart
I always end up with this song
fish to swim
birds to fly
hearts to flood
you when you’re dry
but I've got one that is broken

Are you down?
Too many nights laying sleepless
numbing out and ghosting your friends
do you feel that you're totally empty
in the mirror you look, nobody there
Allow me to act as your mirror
I see you and I'll tell you again
somehow I see you much clearer
than you can right now
Are you down?
just stop trying
It's ok
you can come crying
on your drought, in time the rain will flood you
a new song in your mouth
so come on, come here, are you down?
Are you down?
Did the song that you sang kind of dry up?
Became the sound of you just losing ground
Does it scare you to have no direction
no song to sing nothing to say
are you down?
I will come down and sit right beside you
in silence we will wait to hear a sound
there's a new song that's way down inside you
if you're still it'll come
Are you down?
just stop trying
It's ok
you can come crying
on your drought, in time the rain will flood you
a new song in your mouth
so come on, come here, are you down?

April snow
Such a blow
Sends us in like why’d we even try
Comes at us
Nearly disastrous
I’ve just never felt so cold and grey
The bud is on the branch my dear
Frozen stiff but isn’t going away
The spring comes stop-and-startingly
And nothing good is growing here today
Say hello, say hello to April snow
I had an awful dream
Now I'm feeling mean
Got a chill that's with me through the day
I begin to cry
Without knowing why
I've just never felt so cold and grey
The bud is on the branch my dear
Frozen stiff but isn’t going away
The spring comes stop-and-startingly
And nothing good is growing here today
Say hello, say hello to April snow
Stay with me, through the April snow
Stay with me

There are birds lingering Near the swing
Where the grape grows Both they and I know That’s the spot Springtime robin came And built a frame
Made of twigs and things
Now she’s gone
We’re still fixed on
The place that robin used to be
Everlasting Memory
The past is in my bones In the soil and stones That surround me
The dust in my lungs Oh secret scars
Ache when weather’s bad
The eyes the faces I let down
Choices made, debts unpaid Live on in me and will surely be
Everlasting Memory
Don’t dare forget
Speak their names
And let the echo claim
Your heart and head
Shed the tears,
Bend your knees now
Pray that somehow they can be free
Everlasting Memory
Sing, sing their song together
Bing yourself to their song, ah
A bitter melody
When darkness falls, and words will fail And hope remains beyond us
Hold hold your hand out to me
Hold them out toward me once more And this time I’ll entrust you to
Everlasting Memory

It’s easy to fall into love
I’m a child in your arms
It’s so easy, like drifting downstream It’s easy, so easy, to do
But it’s easy, the yoke is so easy
The burden is light
Like spending money or losing a fight It’s easy, so easy to do
I walk through a deep and dark valley And come out still singing their tune And the tune that I sing is a thing Which is heavy and jagged and blue
It’s easy to fall into love
I’m a child in your arms
It’s so easy, like drifting downstream It’s easy, so easy, to do
Yes it’s easy, the yoke is so easy The burden is light
Like the evening’s surrender to night It’s easy, so easy to do

Landon A. R. Coleman Ottawa, Ontario
He has a sticker from the local “Light Favourites” radio station on his bumper. An Albertan solo artist living in Ottawa, Coleman plays elegant pop. “I love Nat King Cole, Jim Reeves, John Denver… give me strings, horns, a strong melody.” says Coleman. His sound recalls the retro-tinged eclecticism of Belle and Sebastian and the modern torch songs of Richard Hawley in equal measure. ... more
