about

During the pandemic, Al Howard challenged himself to release two tracks a week for a year. I was so honored to be able to collab with him on this song. After his project was over and I was working on my new album, I couldn't help but want to give this song the LowKeys treatment, as this song became one of my favorites. All the lyrics are Al's. The basic music and melody was me.
Enjoy Black Rose Canyon.

lyrics

I am down in Black Rose Canyon
The sky above looks like rain
Time holds the hours for ransom
But I stole some back today
Yes I stole some back today

Oak trees of California
Hidin’ underneath freeways
And if you don’t pay attention
You won’t notice them most days
I won’t notice them most days

And I’ve always been in love
With the moon and stars above but I’d trade every empty evening
For us

I’m walking off a bad dream
The one that we both had last night
There wasn’t much cause for a fever
And even less cause for a fight

I’m just a method actor
On a day that’s overcast
Practicing the teardrops
As the rain falls on the past

And I have always been in love
With the moon and stars above but I’d trade every empty evening
For us

I don’t have much control
When both my eyes are close
But when the sun rises I know
I don’t want to walk alone
