Walk With Me 04:16
Walk With Me Feel the magic in the trees Feel the magic in the bones In the feathers and the leaves In the waters and the stones Ooh walk with me I see your messengers They've shown themselves to me The bears, raccoons and birds And the creatures of the seas Ooh walk with me I hear the song of the owl as she's calling out to me The tears are welling in my eyes, now I can hardly see I see the moon shining bright as she rises through the trees I see the beauty all around me as it brings me to my knees Ooh walk with me

Thinkin’ Of You Well we all fall on hard times that simple fact of life is true But a hard time for me might not be a hard time for you So when dark clouds roll in, when you’re down and blue Just think of me my friends, know that i’ll be thinkin’ of ... I’ll be thinkin’ of you Well we all have loves we’ve lost We know that lovin’ comes with that cost We all have dreams we dream But this big ol’ world ain’t always what it seems So when dark clouds roll in, when you’re down and blue Just think of me my friends, know that i’ll be thinkin’ of ... I’ll be thinkin’ of you Like sunshine in the pouring rain Thinkin’ about you it helps to keep those clouds at bay Like birds singin’ in the trees Hearing your voice puts me at ease So when dark clouds roll in, when you’re down and blue Just think of me my friends, know that i’ll be thinkin’ of ... I’ll be thinkin’ of you So when dark clouds roll in, when you’re down and blue Just think of me my friends, know that i’ll be thinkin’ of ... I’ll be thinkin’ of you

Dying Ground 05:12
Dying Ground When they carry me down to my dying ground Don't you weep for me When my time has come, and I must move on Don't you dare mourn for me Lay me on a pyre Where the forest meets the sea Set the raft on fire As the tide takes hold of me When they carry me down to my dying ground Don't you weep for me When my time has come, and I must move on Don't you dare mourn for me Carry me to the woods Lay me down under a tree Leave me for the wolves Let them devour me When they carry me down to my dying ground Don't you weep for me When my time has come, and I must move on Don't you dare mourn for me Burn me on a cliff 'Til my body is no more Toss my ashes to the wind With the vultures I will soar When they carry me down to my dying ground Don't you weep for me When my time has come, and I must move on Don't you dare mourn for me

Ol’ Rough Seas The sea it meets the sky, the fog it meets the sand Im drowning in this current, won't you please give me your hand These tears are rolling out, as the tide is rolling in The sun is slowly setting, thoughts are blowing in the wind blowing in the wind, blowing in the wind Breeze is picking up, storms a brewin’ out there tonight Your standing as my lifeline, you’re putting up quite the fight The moonlight upon your face dear as I’m chilled right through my bones The current's getting stronger but you’ve got a mighty hold Got a mighty hold, got a mighty hold Well the stars are shining bright, and the birds have gone to sleep Without you my love, I’ve never felt complete I cannot move a muscle, I need your warm embrace Before these old rough seas encompass me without a trace Without a trace, without a trace Waves are crashing off the rocks, rain is pouring from the sky Fogs rolled in so deep tonight I can barely see your eyes You’ve pulled me from the current and we’re both on solid ground If it weren’t for you my darlin’ well I surely would have drowned Surely would have drowned, surely would have drowned surely would have drowned

Five Years Down I hear that long and lonesome road calling me I hear that long and lonesome road calling me I'm here with you my love, there's no place I'd rather be Yet I hear that lonesome road calling me All the trials and all the troubles Five years down that dusty road Never dreamed where it would take us As it led us to our home Ladada The way ahead is dark and hard to see The way ahead is dark and hard to see But we walk together, our footsteps soft and free Although the way ahead is dark and hard to see All the trials and all the troubles Five years down that dusty road Never dreamed where it would take us As it led us to our home Ladada The weight of the world may bring us to our knees The weight of the world may bring us to our knees We must keep our heads held high. keep walking and believe Although the weight of the world may bring us to our knees Ladada All the trials and all the troubles Five years down that dusty road Never dreamed where it would take us As it led us to our home Ladada All the trials and all the troubles Five years down that dusty road Never dreamed where it would take us As it led us to our home

Little Less Insane You can sail across great oceans, in hopes to find me one day You can soar across those blue skies, taking rest amongst those trees But I am right here my sweet darlin’, you’ve gotta look inside yourself For it is lonely standing near you, like dusty books upon a shelf You can travel that dusty back road, checking every ditch along the way You can hop on that passing box car, let rusty rails soothe away your day You can climb the highest mountain pearing down to valleys deep beneath You can dive the darkest seas my life, in no hopes of ever finding me Cuz I am right here my sweet darlin’, you’ve gotta look inside yourself For it is lonely standing near you, like dusty books upon a shelf We all have darkness we try to run from sometimes the booze and drugs don’t ease the pain But if we slow down, take a deep breath, we may just feel a little less insane A little less insane ooooooooooooooh We may just feel a little less insane Less insane ooooooooooooooooh We may just feel a little less insane Little less insane

about

Through Darkness, We See is the first album from this couple's new music project Owl & Vulture. It showcases a collection of original songs written by Riley and Natasha from summer 2015 through spring 2016 on Vancouver Island. Inspired by troubling times, love, life, death, mental illness, friends and the magic found in these deep green woods off the west coast of BC.

Recorded by Reverend Black Claw at Hora Morior Studios, Vancouver BC during one hell of a hot weekend in June 2016. Sweating, cussing, eating, drinking and turning the fan on and off for recording. Over the course of two days we finished everything just in time to catch the last ferry home before sunset. The cool salty air never felt so good as we drove off the boat homeward bound.

An extra shout out to our best friend June, for her patience, comic relief, kisses, snuggles and tale wags... without her we would be lost. She inspires us daily more than she'll ever know. We love you June xo
