The perfect life, strangers envy an easy talent, wasted breath respect, success an empty room below this picture frame. OOOO-OOOO-OOOO empty feeling OOOO-OOOO-OOOO empty feeling Used to be a home town hero fast cars and diamond rings big house, big yard trophy wife and all those nice things OOOO-OOOO-OOOO empty feeling  OOOO-OOOO-OOOO empty feeling  I had it all, the list was completed the perfect life, no more was needed too bad I can't kick this dark empty feeling Used to be a home town hero fast cars and diamond rings big house, big yard trophy wife and all those nice things OOOO-OOOO-OOOO empty feeling OOOO-OOOO-OOOO empty feeling I know this is what I needed nobody said it would be easy fresh start, new beginnings maybe now, I'll start feeling One by one I pick them off unlock the doors, release the meanings friends hold their breath as a redefine the meaning of being. OOOOh-OOOOh-OOOOooo (repeat) Used to be a home town hero fast cars and diamond rings big house, big yard trophy wife and all those nice things OOOO-OOOO-OOOO empty feeling OOOO-OOOO-OOOO empty feeling OOOO-OOOO-OOOO empty feeling  OOOO-OOOO-OOOO empty feeling  I risk myself so I can rest so when the end is near this life might have had some meaning maybe I'll lose this dark empty feeling.

Dark Room 03:53
It's not comfortable to go inside not my favourite place to go to hide If I don't go, It's stays a mess. Getting comfortable inside my head getting comfortable in spite of it It's the dark room inside my head Getting comfortable inside my head getting comfortable in spite of it It's the dark room inside my head light a candle , step inside explore the dark room, all four sides get familiar with all the sights with some time you'll grow to know it's a nice place, not that cold your eyes adjust, you feel all right. Getting comfortable inside my head getting comfortable in spite of it It's the dark room inside my head Getting comfortable inside my head getting comfortable in spite of it It's the dark room inside my head aaaaah-aaaah-aah-aah-aaaaaah-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaah-aaaah-aah-aah-aaaaaah-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah avoiding pleasant sorrow, avoiding solitude avoiding wild emotions, they'll be waiting for you. Getting comfortable inside my head getting comfortable in spite of it It's the dark room inside my head Getting comfortable inside my head getting comfortable in spite of it It's the dark room inside my head It's the dark room Inside my head_________ It's the dark room Inside my head_________ It's the dark room Inside my head.

Guarded emotions, slowly coasting towards each others arms. But I walk careful, Into your eyes you just might break my heart But today I walk tall, smile for your eyes I walk for your smile But today I walk tall, smile for your eyes I walk for your smile Now I don't know much but i know this much, I'd like to see you more but you walk careful, into my eyes I just might break your heart. But today I walk tall, smile for your eyes I walk for your smile But today I walk tall, smile for your eyes I walk for your smile yes it's true babe I like you babe you just might break my heart But today I walk tall, smile for your eyes I walk for your smile But today I walk tall, smile for your eyes I walk for your smile But today I walk tall, smile for your eyes I walk for your smile

We live like kings, we feel like salves we feel alone sometimes inside luxurious caves the fight for survival is gone, we work for treats we buy things we want, or thought, would make us complete. We're living the life right now We're living the life right now We're living the life right now. We're living the life right now We're living the life right now We're living the life right now. we're lacking in social wealth, we're bursting with dreams. we're so far from the truth, we can't even see. Let the captains capitalize, they're victims you see. power hungry mongers It's a disease We're living the life right now We're living the life right now We're living the life right now. We're living the life right now We're living the life right now We're living the life right now. aaaaaah-aaaaaah-aaaaah-aaah-aaaah-ooh-oooooh-ooooh-ooh-oooh aaaaaah-aaaaaah-aaaaah-aaah-aaaah-ooh-oooooh-ooooh-ooh-oooh The fight for survival is gone, we work for treats The fight for survival is gone, we work for treats The fight for survival is gone, The fight for survival is gone, The fight for survival is gone, The fight for survival is_________ The fight for survival is gone, The fight for survival is gone, The fight for survival is gone, The fight for survival is__________ we're living the life right now we're living the life right now we're living the life right now we live like kings, we feel like saves. we feel alone, sometimes

about

Steady Hills debut EP 'Alone in the Marquee' is a raw live off the floor recording. The album is a stage performance not a studio production. It was literally recorded alone in Halifax's Marquee Club. This experimental recording style was inspired by Daniel Lanois. The vocals, drums and guitar were recorded together in one take live off the floor through 4000 watts of PA equipment echoing though the club. the result is a large spacious sound, and a honest representation of what you'll hear at a Steady Hills live show.

Singer songwriter meets modern rock. Sounding something like Dan Mangan and The Decemberists meet the Black Keys. Surprisingly Steady Hills has a larger multilayered sound than you might expect from a two piece!
Together these guys are tight! For the last 3 years they've been the drum and bass section of the Halifax based band 'The Light Brights'.
