You’ve got the weight of the world my dear And you don’t know how to let it go Your broken heart hasn’t healed in years But nothing you say would let it show Just let it go, oh let it go Let it go, oh let it go Some things you can’t do alone my dear There’s no easy remedy for loneliness Even though daylight is fading here There’s still time to let it go and breathe again Just let it go, oh let it go Let it go, oh let it go Just let it go, oh let it go Let it go, oh let it go Something in your eyes Suggests you’re breaking up inside, inside Let me take your burdens Give you rest until you decide, decide That you’ve carried on far too long my dera All alone, now alone no more Now is the time to carry on from here To march on and plant your flag where you belong You belong, oh you belong You belong, oh you belong You belong, oh you belong You belong, oh you belong

I drove through the night Just to find daylight Just to find some light to guide me home They say home’s where the heart is But my heart’s not here I left my heart there on the west coast So drive safe champions Through the night into daylight Every tiny town brings us closer to The place where you belong So drive safe champions Through the mountains to the sea Unearth your heart that’s buried deep In the sand on the beach In the sand on the beach

Time keeps moving on at a pace we can’t escape We’re trapped in its rhythm, day to day to day to day Time is both friend and foe never leaving us alone We’re marked by its passage, it’s something that we can’t ignore Take a little time, take some time Take a little time, take some time Dusk comes early these days, the night is full of mystery The constellations reflect the skies of history But I’ve seen it all before, these sentiments are getting old I need a new perspective to make it come alive again Take a little time to hibernate Spend a while imagin - ing When it all starts to look the same It’s time to hibernate We can’t run away But we can hibernate When it all starts to look the same

I’m leaving home, there’s nothing left for me In this flat land town when there’s so much more to see So don’t chase me down, don’t come after me I’ve made up my mind, this is how it has to be ‘Cause I need a new beginning I need a new beginning This town is stifling I need a new beginning We had such a nice time in your small town streets Smiling at strangers and them waving back at me If I speak honestly I’ll miss you dearly But the time has come for me to be leaving ‘Cause I need a new beginning I need a new beginning This town is stifling I need a new beginning So don’t chase me down, don’t come after me I’ve made up my mind, this is how it has to be ‘Cause I need a new beginning I need a new beginning This town is stifling I need a new beginning

The forest is burning to the ground The ponderosa pines are coming down, down , down The water is running dry And I don’t know why, I don’t know why Oh Oregon, sing me a sad song Oh Oregon, I know that something’s wrong Oh Oregon, help me understand Why everything comes to an end Where are the helpers who lived on the land They left their homes to the mercy of the sands They moved to the city with everyone else I don’t know why, I don’t know why Climb a mountain to see where you come from Follow your footsteps back to the forest You belong here, out in the wilderness Among the dust that brought you up Even the mountains strong and silent Crumble to dust someday

about

Lauren Mann Pender Island, British Columbia

Memory & Desire was born out of uncertainty, and came from epiphanies of hope between the questions. Recorded at Lauren’s home in the Gulf Islands, it is an intimate marker of the passage of time, holding space between who she was and who she will be. With deeper honesty and a renewed effervescence, Lauren Mann is taking herself and her music back to her roots and creating authentic art. ... more
