He sat and thought for a while about the good old days All he recalled now was a smile and how’d she say Remember when were young and the world was in our hands Madly desirous of the ones who burn burn burn Take my hand I’ll lead you to mountains far and wide The valley where we saw the band, now we pray the man won’t die We’ll waste the hours again out on the open road The vast countryside not as vast as out minds Now Go oh oh oh she said You’re Wild at heart Now Go oh oh oh she said You’re Wild The sun will rise again and enlighten your heart The distances and spaces between won’t seem as far We’ll sit and think for a while about the good old days Recalling every smile and all the things we used to say Now Go oh oh oh she said You’re Wild at heart Now Go oh oh oh she said You’re Wild, Wild You’re Wild at heart

Tides 03:46
When the tide recede You’ll be in my wake When my heart receives Confess my mistake When I hide away All of the pain My pride outweighed I could not sustain Owww Owww Owww Owww When the tides have turned You’ve been set free From the lines ashore Into The sea We were young and dumb, in love We were young and dumb, in love We were young and dumb, in love We were young and dumb, in love

Her and I we want to get away The American dream just ain’t for us Desert roads, atomic gasoline Thrills, sex and lust Wild youth snares our hearts And pulls us from the city Small town nowhere passes us by And the road it keeps us steady Your gorgeous desire makes me invincible Her and I we fought the moon Battled through the night Waking eyes in the sunrise And I’m just closing mine Her and I we want to get away The American dream is such a pity Living out the rest of our lives So beautiful and pretty

Bright 03:16
I am known to you You are in it too It’s in your face I watch your eyes trace The spherical shape of the moon I remember you The way young minds do So sweet, divine As you cross the line Between knowing and believing Don’t leave tonight I can’t resist when you shine bright Don’t leave tonight, tonight I sense in you A fear of the truth There’s a light in the dark I try so hard to be Brave and bold Don’t leave tonight I can’t resist when you shine bright Don’t leave tonight, tonight Don’t leave tonight I can’t resist when you shine bright Don’t leave tonight, tonight Don’t leave tonight I can’t resist when you shine bright Don’t leave tonight, tonight

Heavyweight 04:27
Take the punch, let it out Feel your face hit the ground Hear the crowd calling out Lay your face on the ground This heavyweight is bringing me down This heavyweight is bringing me down Take the corner, sit you down Ready for the second round The lights go up, you make a stand You’re just waiting for the ground Falling down, slowly now Your last chance has come and gone Feel the weight of the world Crushing you to the ground

When I was young I never realised Certain things would go away Now I’m older and putting it together Things no one ever wanted to say I keep the shadows out of my bedroom Leave the light on at night Tell me monsters to go away and leave me Don’t you ever come back Now I sit here wondering aloud
Where did the wild things go? Thought I had a little sail boat But it’s gone Fear is driving everything I do these days Makes me feel so sick Wish I could go back to adolescence Back when passions were strong Need to relearn things I have forgotten Things you only know in youth Getting tired of acting like a grown up Know I’m child at heart Now I sit here wondering aloud Where did the wild things go? Thought I had a little sail boat But it’s gone Where did all the younger years go? They’re just a fleeting memory Can I still sail in and out of weeks And almost over a year? Till I get to an island in the sun Where I’m happy all the time Will I be declared the king When the wild rumpus begins?

When we were young the world in our hands A flame in our hearts, the future's unplanned When we were young, ambition was fierce A burning desire, dive in head first When you and I would meet in the end Bailin’ on something, a forgotten friend And after all is said and done We won’t be the only (lonely) ones I feel it in you I believe in you In you When we were young, at home in the night Rock ’n’ roll music, was our one true fight You were the whisper in the back of my head Though all the years, never mislead I feel it in you I believe in you In you I feel it in you I believe in you In you
8.
I’ve been having a hard time Getting this off my chest I don’t know how to say I don’t know you any - more Feels like yesterday we were Singing and having fun Now we’re growing old Our hearts melting in the sun And I don’t feel fine anymore And I don’t feel fine anymore Dreams and aspirations Took a toaster in the bath Feel I’m fighting for air When I know I’m just trying to laugh Skin on my knuckles is growing Whiter every day From holding so god damn tight to all the Things that slip away Remember when we were young and the World was in our hands We could light up a room and have a Line up out the door Now I’m all alone and Lamenting my last breath Like I never knew the power and Beauty of my youth Still holding on to One last ounce of life Stuck in the past where my Heart feels at home With a burning desire and a Tragic Nostalgia

about

Jared Adams Winnipeg, Manitoba

On Jared Adams’ upcoming LP, Mystic Humanism, creative instincts roam. Hook-fuelled with baroque and indietronica flavouring, Mystic Humanism’s early 2000s-inspired alt-rock presents the Winnipeg singer-songwriter’s hot takes on the now: the metaverse, AI’s takeover, and earth’s unsteadying balance; urging the importance of stepping back and reassessing, even when it’s hard. ... more
