metaltyger Beautiful, melodic, and criminally underrated. I've loved The Choir since I discovered them on Speckled Bird. Their new albums showcase well-crafted songwriting that's only gotten better with time. Favorite track: The Woods.

Hurricane 06:14
Hurricane The sky is so black Maybe we should run for cover When lightning cracks All I need is one true lover I won’t hide away alone Or curse the wicked clouds... I feel the turbulence You feel the turbulence Hard rain, howling wind Howling wind and hard rain Find shelter in the eye In the eye of a hurricane The Lines get drawn Battle cries and tribal drumming The beat goes on Fearing what we can’t see coming I don’t need to throw any dirt clods Over anybody’s wall Lay the stone down You don’t have to kill or fight back Stand your ground You don’t have to wave a white flag You don’t have to win the war Or bridge the great divide… I feel the turbulence... The sky is so clear I wonder if a storm is brewing Right now and here Sunlight is the grace of true friends Mercy on the face of a true friend Derri Daugherty - lead vocal, electric guitars Steve Hindalong - drums, percussion Dan Michaels - lyricon Chris Donahue - bass Andy Prickett - electric guitars (including solo) Stephen Leiweke - acoustic guitar Jonathan Noel - vocal

The Woods 04:35
The Woods Every creek is a trail worth exploring Every tear flows downstream from a story Every drop of blood is mortality reborn Betrayal unforgiven cuts deeper than a thorn (Chorus) I wanna walk in the woods with a friend I wanna walk in the woods with a friend And talk about everything or nothin’ A bowl with gold-filled cracks becomes a treasure One man’s pain is another man’s pleasure Every drop of rain might be a blessing or a curse Love endures the weather for better or for worse I wanna walk in the woods with a friend I wanna walk in the woods with a friend And talk about everything or nothin’ (Bridge) And travel down a trepidatious path of ponderance It’s a wondrous day for wanderin’ Travel down a trepidatious path of ponderance It’s a fine day for wonderin’

Kindred Spirits Black hawk to the rescue, white dove taking flight Victims of the crossfire, trembling in the night Let’s get our hearts retrieved from lost and found All you cynics and true believers rise up now Black hawk to the rescue, white dove comin’ down What if your face was on the ground If my face was on the ground Why are we breathin’ anyhow So good to be breathing now Give every living soul the mercy none of us deserves The Man of Sorrows came down here to suffer and to serve What if his face was in the dirt The face of love down in the dirt We are kindred spirits, everyone Dancing under one glorious sun Children laughing, children crying Their souls undying Kindred spirits free flying... Mystified by a zillion stars shinin’ down on seven seas It isn’t so hard to realize our commonality Please keep the locks on your guns Hum a peaceful tune Everybody loves their little ones From Singapore to Saskatoon Mystified by a zillion stars under one same moon We are kindred spirits, everyone Dancing under one glorious sun Children laughing, children crying Their souls undying Kindred spirits, everyone Dancing under one glorious sun Children laughing, children crying Their souls undying Kindred spirits free flying…

Feel You Close I shut my eyes for a moment Rolled into a ravine Stumbled down some dark road Wishing it was a bad dream Disoriented, regretful Sad and alone But you made me feel better Once we talked on the phone I smile when I feel you close to me I smile when I feel you in my heart I smile when I feel you close to me Even though we’re so far apart Now the train whistle blowin’ Makes me reminisce Of great adventure I’ve known And treasured friends I miss Happy birds at my feeder Seem content in this world I’ve got everything I need I just want my girl I smile when I feel you close to me I smile when I feel you in my heart I smile when I feel you close to me Even though we’re so far apart

Aces Over Eights Everybody gets a rough ride We get caught in the rip tide The force of the moon won’t be denied We’ve got earthquakes and monsoons Holes in our pontoons Yeah, we’re all goin’ down I just hope not soon We mighta been ashes to ashes Dust to dust by now On the wind, out the gate Disintegrating underground We mighta been dealt the dead man’s hand We lost one brother in the band We mighta been ashes to ashes Dust to dust by now There are dangers only fools ignore On the ocean in a thunderstorm We’ve got true hearts beating and we’re swimmin’ to shore No, I don’t always do my best Yes, I know you’ve been a witness Still you rescue me in the way of forgiveness We mighta been ashes to ashes Dust to dust by now On the wind, out the gate Disintegrating underground We mighta been dealt the dead man’s hand We lost one brother in the band We mighta been ashes to ashes Dust to dust by now I remember a mighty man Strong an oak tree, he said, “You know me I’ll be the last man standing” I never knew him to be faint of heart He was wearing his time weathered black leather jacket Leo found him lying flat on his back He said, “I’m just lookin’ at the stars, I’m just lookin’ at the stars” So many reasons to live So many good gifts to give Every sunset is grace, every sunrise redemptive We mighta been ashes to ashes Dust to dust by now On the wind, out the gate Disintegrating underground We mighta been dealt the dead man’s hand We lost one brother in the band We mighta been ashes to ashes Dust to dust by now

Reckless Ways The doctor told me to modify My ill-advised behavior The time has come to turn, turn, turn it around Sooner than later No, I can’t keep on doin’ just Whatever the hell I please I won’t be sailin’ over the edge Like Thelma and Louise I’ll still be havin’ fun In moderation My hooligan doppelganger Just left the station He left the station I said, “Goodbye” to all my reckless ways I said, “Goodbye” only yesterday, But I meant it when I said, “Goodbye” To all by reckless ways I said, “Goodbye” to my reckless ways The road to ruin is wide The gate to life is narrow I’m way done following crooked paths I’m flyin’’ straight as an arrow I’ve got some good friends on the loose Coyotes livin’ free I won’t be runnin’ wild with the pack Don’t worry about me Oh, I’ll still be havin’ fun In moderation I’m feelin’ incentivized To drive across the nation Across this beautiful nation I said, “Goodbye” to all my reckless ways I said, “Good bye” only yesterday And I meant it when I said, “Goodbye” To all by reckless ways I said, “Goodbye” to my reckless ways Some people live to love Some live for danger Some people learn to laugh Some curse the sky in anger My hooligan doppelganger Just left the station I wanna get back in the van And ride with the band across the nation I said, “Goodbye” to all my reckless ways I said, “Goodbye” It was only yesterday But I meant it when I said, “Goodbye” To all by reckless ways I said, “Goodbye” to my former reckless ways Goodbye, Goodbye

The Fool 04:22
The Fool Well, hey aren’t you the brazen one Swimmin’ naked in a lake Oblivious in the darkness To venomous snakes If you haven’t learned by now You will never, never learn Just keep dancing near the fire Until your sorry feet get burned What great penance is required To rehabilitate the criminal What suffering will inspire The education of a fool How many lashes will it take To motivate the reprobate Rolling in the cool mud Like a happy-go-lucky mule It’s a far cry too late to atone It’s a far cry too late to atone You're fresh out of loopholes Bereft of mercies to be shown You’re on the run with a smokin’ pistol And no sense to hide You’ve got a horse with a heart of gold Too forlorn to ride You’re holdin’ a stick of dynamite Dyin’ to set her off Better blow that bridge to kingdom come If you make it across What great penance is required To rehabilitate the criminal What suffering will inspire the education of a fool How many lashes will it take To motivate the reprobate Rolling in the cool mud Like a happy-go-lucky mule It’s a far cry too late to atone It’s a far cry too late to atone You're fresh out of loopholes Bereft of mercies to be shown It’s a far cry too late to atone It’s a far cry too late to atone You're fresh out of loopholes Bereft of mercies to be shown

Eyes On Fire 04:15
Eyes on Fire Steve Hindalong, Derri Daugherty Hey, I wanna thank you for comin’ so dangerously close I like you hangin’ ‘round Sometimes I wonder if we’re up or down, none of us know The world keeps spinnin’ ‘round Don’t you love a summer evening, lightning bugs flashin’ Lyin’ on a blanket in the grass And the way I feel about you I’m not gonna hide Do you wanna go inside? My eyes are on fire, baby, for you Your eyes are on fire for me too (There’s no denying it’s true) I’m gonna burn some incense, get the lighting right Turn on some music, you’re so beautiful tonight My eyes are on fire, baby, for you You’re free to stay or go now I wouldn’t dare tie you to a chair or chain you to a post I never would wish to narrow the riverbanks of your flow, oh no You’re a wolf in the wild, I wanna hear you howl I’m a Saskatoon Lynx on the prowl I believe we’re compatible, I’m reading all your signs Please don’t blame it on the wine My eyes are on fire, baby, for you Your eyes are on fire for me too (There’s no denying it’s true) I’m gonna burn some incense, get the lighting right Turn on some music, you’re so beautiful tonight My eyes are on fire, baby, for you In this moment here and now Let the planet turn around Life and love are mystery I’m just glad you’re here with me My eyes are on fire, baby, for you Your eyes are on fire for me too (There’s no denying it’s true) I’m gonna burn some incense, get the lighting right Turn on some music, you’re so beautiful tonight My eyes are on fire, baby, for you

Deep Cuts 05:21
Deep Cuts Never mind, never mind yesterday’s night Step outside, turn your gaze to the sky, feel the morning light Nevermind yesterday’s lies Please realize you are even more wondrous In my eyes when the sun shines bright, illuminating your scars And I adore the wounded creature you are Are you troubled by your own reflection Searchin’ for a friend to trust Does is feel like forever won’t be time enough To heal your heart from the deepest cuts Child, you are loved, You have always been loved May one divine kiss be enough To heal your heart from the deepest cuts Never dread, never dread tomorrow’s sun Let it come when it comes, this glorious night has just begun Never cry tomorrow’s tears Right now and here, shut your eyes, open your ears Listen closely, a spirit-stirring song is playing And you’re beautiful, that’s all that I’m saying Are you troubled by your own reflection Searchin’ for a friend to trust Does is feel like forever won’t be time enough To heal your heart from the deepest cuts Child, you are loved, You have always been loved May one divine kiss be enough To heal your heart from the deepest cuts You’re a free flying sanctified soul You’re a free flying, free flying sanctified soul You’re a free flying sanctified soul You’re a free flying, free flying, free flying, sanctified soul Are you troubled by your own reflection Searchin’ for a friend to trust Does is feel like forever won’t be time enough To heal your heart from the deepest cuts Child, you are loved, You have always been loved May one divine kiss be enough To heal your heart from the deepest cuts Please realize you are even more wondrous In my eyes when the sun shines bright illuminating your scars
