Hard to Love 04:38
Hard to Love Well I’ve been around this ol’ town About a couple years I’ve seen a few they come and go But they always leave in tears And it’s a lonely world I’ve come to learn When all that loves will surely burn Heaven knows I’ve had to pay the price It’s hard to love, hard to love, hard to love me Well you’ve seen all the hands I play With my wandering eyes and carefree ways For you, not your kind of game When seasons change and leave me blue To dream of love with someone new Round and round, seems all the same It’s hard to love, hard to love, hard to love me Ohh it’s hard to love, hard to love, hard to love me Though it’s not that I can’t understand The weakness of a moving man But you know I guess, what they all say is true No it’s not that I can’t understand The weakness of a moving man But you know I guess, what they all say is true It’s hard to love, hard to love, hard to love me Ohh it’s hard to love, hard to love, hard to love me

In The Shade 05:45
In The Shade Out of the shadows it comes again Strange is the light that bends my head Right from the morning my old friend Lonely nights, lonely days I run from the sun And I hide in the shade Warm is the lady who takes my hand Like the wind blows she’s gone again Lonely nights, lonely days I run from the sun And I hide in the shade Is it really me who’s fading And if I ever feel that way again There must be something that remains Right from the morning my old friend High hangs the curtain on a haunted man Lonely nights, lonely days I run from the sun And I hide in the shade Is it really me who’s fading And if I ever feel that way again There must be something that remains While I watch it run away Then leave the fool of today
3.
Only in My Dreams Only in my dreams You’re still here with me Lonely till I see That moon on the rise Each star in the sky Plays our sweet melody Oh it’s only in my dreams Only in my dreams Funny how it seems All my foolish schemes One shut of the eye You’re there every time With loving arms for me Oh it’s only in my dreams Darlin’ oh pretty Darlin’ oh don’t you Darlin’ oh pretty Darlin’ oh don’t you Darlin’ oh pretty Darlin’ oh don’t you Wake me up I want to keep her Prayin’ to the Lord I’m a heavy sleeper Asleep in my bed The things that we said Just drift away with ease Oh if only in my dreams Only in my dreams Only in my dreams Only in my dreams Only in my dreams Only in my dreams Only in my dreams Only in my dreams Only in my dreams
4.
Really Did a Number On Me Well If I see your face again With your pretty little eyes and your evil grin Well I might just hit the floor Was that a knocking at my door Well oohie baby you really did a number on me Or if I catch you in my dreams I pray something shakes me from my sleep To that lonesome room I’ll be howling at the moon Well oohie baby you really set the dogs on me So if I stumble in the street Cause I hear the pitter patter of your raging feet Well just roll along You know I really ain’t that strong Oohie baby you really did a number on me I think I hear the ringing of my telephone It’s just the whistling wind through an empty home Yeah I can hear that ringing of my telephone Just the whistling wind an empty home It might just blow me down If it don’t put me in the ground Yeah oohie baby you really rang a bell on me Well I’m sure you’re living fine and free Ever since the day you laid the hurt on me Well it won’t be long till someone comes along Then oohie baby they’re bound to do a number on you Well oohie baby they’re bound to do a number on you
5.
Don’t Know What It Is You say that you wander far along With only your shadow as a home All that you see is all you know The closer it seems the more you go Don’t know what it is Don’t know what it is You’ve been on The places you’ve grown, the people who lie How tender the wings who pass you by The flowers you hold but cannot let go Wilted their bones after the show Don’t know what it is Don’t know what it is You’ve been on
6.
Another Farewell It won’t be long Bid yourself another farewell from love If I did Tell myself I’m on the deep end And I feel I’m sinking in So bid yourself another farewell my love It’s gone Tell yourself you’re on the way down from luck Anyway Everything is always fleeting from you But I I’m gonna let you down lightly Before I go If all the words you could've told me are gone That’s fine But don’t forget to put it all on the line When it comes And bid yourself another farewell from love But I I’m gonna let you down lightly Before Ii go So bid yourself another farewell from love It’s gone Bid yourself another farewell from love
7.
Long & Lonesome I hit the ground on foreign land they tied me up in chain Put between the walls who spoke to many a broken man Men who never had a hope, whom love had left to pine It’s a long and lonesome state of mind When they steal your freedom’s when your spirit starts to fray Memories of a love you held fade from day to day In the only darkness where shadows intertwine It’s a long and lonesome state of mind Long at sea I seem be the ramble is my home From heart to heart each lover seems to crash upon the stone I’m not the same as I once was, nor will I be again It’s a long and lonesome state I’m in It’s a long and lonesome state I’m in
8.
Train to Babylon Every end has its story Every heartache has its end Every time you tried to warn me Troubles just around the bend When that train rolls on This train ain’t bound for glory Morning sun’ gonna shine anew A good time’s no good time for sorry When you’re only passing through When that train rolls on I’ll be going home I can hear that whistle blowing You know we did the best we could Down the tracks a heart is rolling Down the hill and gone for good When that train rolls on I’ll be going home All the world surrounds you As lonesome as it seems When that train rolls on You took a train to Babylon You took a right and you made it wrong You took a train to Babylon You took a right and you made it wrong
9.
Never Be Another You Pull me outta your tide The kind to make a man drown in the night Steal the ground from my stride Cover my eyes until the moon takes flight Shoot the bird from the wire Turn a prophet to liar Lay me down in your fire Running through the desert blind drunk on desire Never be another you Never be another you Never be another you Never be another you Never be another you Never be another you Never be another you Never be another you
10.
Turn My Lover Loose I couldn’t be what you wanted me to Now I hope ya see that I just ain’t like you I’m gonna turn my lover loose I’m gonna turn my lover loose Chains of love I had on you For awhile there were only two I’m gonna turn my lover loose I’m gonna turn my lover loose While secret charms I’ll never know They say your sweet but ya never show me I’m gonna turn my lover loose I’m gonna turn my lover loose I’m gonna turn my lover loose Chains of love I had on you They say your sweet but it just won’t do I’m gonna turn my lover loose I’m gonna turn my lover loose I’m gonna turn my lover loose I’m gonna turn my lover loose

about

OUT FEBRUARY 7 2025

HORSEBATH's debut album, Another Farewell, is a reflection of their life on the road, rooted in the rugged landscapes of ever-changing Canada, and nurtured by a bond of love, loss and pursuit. 

"We set sail from Nova Scotia en route to Montreal. There we spent a couple weeks in a live-in rehearsal space, writing and arranging the songs that would be recorded, some old, some new. Many different ideas were presented and thrown out in our effort to make what we felt was a cohesive album. With multiple writers, it was inevitable that there would be an eclectic array of styles."

"Everything we did was an experiment of some kind, improvising with instruments, parts, and lyrics. As a band known for our raw and energetic live performances, the songs were best captured using the classic live-off-the-floor approach."

Another Farewell is set for release on February 7, 2025 via Strolling Bones Records.

about

HORSEBATH Montreal, Québec

A rebellious exterior almost always leads to a heart-shaped inside. HORSEBATH is passionate and clownish, belting and romantic, the Canadian group is Americana with a hint of swing and a foundation in folk-rock, their devilish harmonies are the entryway to the big climactic sound that always brings on a dancing crowd. ... more
