Red Sun 04:27
A red red sun rose slowly up from dawn A sad sad son rose high until he was gone But then a melancholic taste, it brought to my lips It was like fire shooting across the sky A dead dead road so cold froze out of hope It was a mad mad raging flame out of the coals But then a melancholic taste, it brought to my lips It was like fire shooting across the sky All of these moments waiting for this moment When I'd recognize the truth inside

Love comes every time, I know Love comes every time, I know Love comes every time, I know I know, we know We don't want to fight, I know We don't want to fight, I know We don't want to fight, I know I know Chorus: When the sea of loneliness takes you away When the sea of loneliness takes you down into its depths Remember Love comes every time, I know Love comes every time, I know Love comes every time, I know I know, we know We really don't want to fight, I know We really don't want to fight, I know We really don't want to fight, I know I know -Chorus- Love comes every time, I know Love comes every time, I know Love comes every time, I know I know, we know We really don't want to fight, I know We really don't want to fight, I know We really don't want to fight, I know I know Love comes every time, I know Love comes every time, I know Love comes every time, I know I know, I know

Suckle or sweet , Hummingbird takes flight With a flick of her fickle feather She travels through time Endless time Your finger plucks a peculiar rhyme In the state of a travelers mind Harboring and harvesting peace Capturing time The whisper of the wandering willow Speaking out to the sea Her wrath was a wrecking sight Roots introduced to tide To the ocean she would then abide Freedom cannot be found, its a lustful lingering lie It appears when its no longer in sight Out of mind, mysterious mind Suckle or sweet , Hummingbird takes flight With a flick of her fickle feather She travels through time Endless time

Bury me deep in the sand Step on my beautiful castle Break apart our hardened hands 23 years on your handle Sturdy as the water When the marble drops into the ocean The shattered pieces come to rest on the sand When you marvel at the commotion You fret for years over broken mirrors While I'd overcome those same desires And you hold your head higher and higher Well I cut the cord with my pliers Oh you know, I love you so Oh you know, I love you so Oh you know, I love you so And when you screamed ferocious lions I wanted to go

Fly To Home 01:50
Fly, fly, fly to home Fly, fly, fly to home Fly, fly, fly to home

Stars like diamonds in the night Got my mind on the sea Ocean blue coral eyes Spread across the darkened sky Watching you, watching me Stars above the clouds at night Love is there in the sea Ocean Blue marble eyes Spread across the darkened sky Watch the clouds, fall asleep Stars like symbols in the night Fear the waves fear the sea Ocean blue sapphire eyes Paint a message in the sky Let your heart be at peace Stars so simple in the night We found it in the sea Ocean blue open eyes Underneath a painted sky Let your peace rest with me The secrets stay with me

Hand It Over 03:14
As the road goes, all the love grows Hand it over , hand it over As the pages , reach the end Did you read them, did you read them? All the trees , standing tall Love their leaves, give them all You have been , so naive But don't you see, don't you believe Oh the mountains, they'll ever be You will not, you will not Love, is your gold Take it with you, take it with you Gold, is your God Hand it over, hand it over Your road, will reach the end And you'll go, you'll go Life, was a gift Hand it over, hand it over

Dear time keeper, Can you take me back Can you take me back The man that I wanted to marry Stayed behind in India He saw the sun He saw the sun Dear ocean, You hold the land You hold the land The woman who wanted to marry Stayed behind in India She saw the sun She saw the sun But you showed me How to see clearly Like the differences of trees And now it hurts so much to clear my mind So all I do is dream Dream of the sun In the end I could see it clearly The differences of trees I see a sun rising up again Wake up from this dream Dream of the sun
9.
Here and Now 03:22
Holding onto dear moments of the past But time goes on, time goes on Reaching for memories craved to be lived again So far away, far away Chorus- Isn't it time that we started living right now Right now Isn't time that I start living here and now Here and now Is there a way that I can change To free my mind, free my mind Teach it to love everything that I hate All in time, all in time -Chorus- Some things just aren't the way that you see Time goes on, time goes on Turns out it may just be what you need So smile on anyways, smile on anyways -Chorus-

Meadowlark 06:11
Nothing left to share Dry and parched Going right through me The music was dark Colors dimmed While the sky was falling in How could we love When we were so withdrawn How could we speak the truth When lies were all we saw She silently wept With nothing to share No change to spare The meadowlark flew from her nest The meadowlark flew from her nest But the rain won't last forever Neither will the sun The rainbow too shall fade And her body turn to mud The earth will stop its turning While the universes multiply Her heart will stop its beating To live is to die To live is to die Soul of the divine Your lightness brings brightness Soul of the divine May your lightness come here

Farewell 04:13
Fly to home I've lost myself Fly to home And farewell Truth be told That when I die They'll say she lived a life of truthful mistakes But not a life of lies And when I go They'll say she was a troubled spirit With a heart of gold But she tried and lived before she died Oh she tried Ooo fly to home Fly to home While her wings in the wind Fly far to home Fly to home Cleaning a mess Fly to home Farewell, I'll miss While I live I'll find a way To balance myself everyday While I die, I'll breath with ease As my body and spirit cut tie Till then I'll try To live before I die Oh I'll try Ooo fly to home Fly to home While her wings in the wind Fly far to home A meadowlark flies towards a crescent moon A slice of light across her womb Watching as you stand behind the light Patiently observing time I could only learn to love When I learned you are not mine

Blue Cave 04:51
Rain mists down this mountain road Not a place to hide Not a place to go But inside this silent blue cave That crosses into the unknown Fierce winds in the palm Yet the trees stay standing long And I have to wonder as I wander How they came to be so strong I miss my friends Cause they were the ones who saw me through I miss my love Loves me more than I seem to know When he holds me like the earth holds the ocean And the ocean hold the land Eyes of wonder and I wonder If there is love He says he wish he'd stayed I say I wish I'd gone Eyes to learn what eyes desire There is peace here within me Even though it wasn't there yesterday But here it is where I sit My only home is right here in this heart I've come to take you there I see a path drawn up in my mind And I'll rover over the hills To get where I am going Trudge with two feet in the snow And aurora borealis in the sky Red in the sky Read in the sky Eyes to learn what eyes desire

about

If you would rather buy an actual CD from me personally, please let me know or come to a show (www.natalieramsay.com has some listed)! Or just listen and enjoy....this is what I care about most! :)

I decided I would record this album almost exactly one year ago to show myself that I could do it. I spent hours sitting in my mothers basement, father's apartment, or my own home in Montreal using whatever couch pillows and blankets I could get my hands to make a soundproof studio. Recording each part over and over again until it met my expectations, getting talented friends to lay down some tracks on the songs of their insturment, and then finally hours and late nights of putting all the pieces together has been the process of something that I like to call "Fly To Home".

I'm happy to say that its the first time I've recorded a full album that I am truly proud of. The songs are stories from my point of view and they stem from a place deep inside of me. Writing and recording has been a musical journey that has been one of the most healing and empowering experiences I have ever had in my life. It began in a time when I had no belief in my own music and what I could do as a musician. I began writing the songs during my travels and they speak of my journey while seeking inner peace and understanding of myself as a person and as a spirit.

Thank you to...

My mother - for her love, shaping me into who I am and her support in all the choices I've made whether or not she agreed
My father- for his amazing banjo playing, his hard work on this album and my website and his everlasting love, support and encouragement.
Ainsley - for her beautiful harmonies and her sincere friendship throughout such a large chunk of my life
Tim - for his incredible guitar playing, his effort put into recording and his bottomless heart that I will forever love
Juliette - for her beautiful heart wrenching cello playing as well as her patience for my late night recording sessions
Tyler - for his rad stand-up bass skills, his hard work and patience
Jasmin - for being my musical soulmate and always encouraging me to look above what I think are my limits
Karine & Ariane - for being wonderul roomates and putting up with having no cushions on the couches for weeks :)
Megan D- for her work and incredible patience while helping me with the album art
Refik - for the inspiration to keep going on my own musical path alone
Lisa G & Nick - for the inspiration, in a time when I had none, to keep writing solo music and finish this album

To the rest of my friends, family and acquaintances- although not specifically mentioned, everyone and anyone who has come into and stayed, or passed out of my life, I want to thank you. You, in some way or another helped me to get where I am today and I am so grateful. Thank you, a million times over.
