Not Enough 03:20
Drove past the warning signs Woke up on the other side Not sure where we crossed that line From love to hate, to blind desire Bad situation, bad reaction, black ice, i'm losing traction We keep driving in the wrong direction Crashing through, craving touching you Tell me to stop, if you think you've had enough we can stop, if the loving gets too tough When is it too much, when is it not enough? If this is all we'll ever be, I'll use you, use me A beautiful catastrophe, that keeps us coming back To skin on skin, sweat on sweat, tangled up in all this mess Our bodies know, let go Tell me to stop, if you think you've had enough we can stop, if the loving gets too tough When is it too much, when is it not enough? Tell me to stop, if you think you've had enough we can stop, if the loving gets too ... Tell me to stop, if you feel like giving up We can stop, if the loving gets too rough When is it too much, when is it not enough

Now we're headin' back to Cleveland The sun is comin' up Gonna find the ones still breathin' in the grey and the dust Even in the factory the rust don't make a sound But the beat will never stop in rock n roll's hometown The beat will never stop in rock n roll's hometown. So riot with your words, and riot with your voice Riot in the music and riot with your choice Riot in your dreams, and riot through the night Riot till you know you're free, riot all your life We're headin' back to Cleveland The sun is comin' up Gonna find the ones still breathin' in the grey and the dust Even in the factory the rust don't make a sound But the beat will never stop in rock n roll's hometown The beat will never stop in rock n roll's hometown. So think before you vote, read before you think find out who wrote the page, know who owns the ink Know who lurks in silence, and know who holds the reigns Find out what we stand to lose and they stand to gain Come on back in, march closer to the dream To the Moondog house, join the family join the team See rock n roll's a river, the runs from many streams All in the name of the big beat It's all in the name of the greater bigger beat We're headin' back to Cleveland The sun is comin' up Gonna find the ones still breathin' in the grey and the dust Even in the factory the rust don't make a sound But the beat will never stop in rock n roll's hometown The beat will never stop in rock n roll's hometown.

You had to see this coming, you knew I would leave But it's not like I'm running, cause it's not up to me. But i'm not leaving here lonely, cause when I close my eyes, You're all that I see. And it's all that I need. I don't need no photographs, of times we've had Cause memories always make me laugh And everything is gonna be OK Just promise not to cry Yah promise not to cry You packed up my suitcase Cause I always forget That lucky blue t-shirt I wore the day that we first met I don't need no photographs, of times we've had Cause memories always make me laugh And everything is gonna be OK Just promise not to cry Yah promise not to cry You know that you don't have to worry There's no one else out there for me And anytime I feel lonely You're still waiting there in my dreams You're all the I see And it's all that I need I don't need no photographs, of times we've had Cause memories always make me laugh And everything is gonna be OK Just promise not to cry Yah promise not to cry Promise not to cry.

(Temptation) Well I've been starving for you How will I survive Just a mirage of virtue Where the hunger hides So come along now baby Let me dig in 40 days and 40 nights of non-stop desert loving In the sand i'll crash and burn for you If you show me what you're made of (Temptation) Your tree of life there next to my tree of sin Two guards are watching and I'm not getting in So come along now baby Take the fruit and run 40 days and 40 nights of non-stop desert loving In the sand i'll crash and burn for you If you show me what you've given up To bring me out in the dust You melted down my rusted heart In the desert In the sunny parts You showed me what you're made of 40 days and 40 nights of non-stop desert loving In the sand i'll crash and burn for you 40 days and 40 nights of non-stop desert loving In the sand i'll crash and burn for you If you show me what you're made of (Temptation)

You walked in here like you own the place You've got no passion, you've got no grace Come on you bastards, get in my face You look so good but you just don't know You've got no feeling, you've got no soul You're marching in to take this town But you're never gonna take me down I've seen 'em come, I've seen 'em go A witness to the bloody show And no one can save your sorry soul You poor, poor bastards You poor bastards You're a disaster You poor, poor bastards You stood your ground and you took your land You marked your victims with your brand You ride your luck like a runaway train Until even the devil knows your name I've seen 'em come, I've seen 'em go A witness to the bloody show And no one can save your sorry soul You poor, poor bastards You poor bastards You're a disaster You poor, poor bastards Well i don't feel sorry for you, you dug your own damn hole you drink away your sorrows, and you start to take control And you always go and fuck this up and I have to take the fall Cause out of all you poor bastards, I'm the biggest one of all You poor, poor bastards You poor bastards You're a disaster You poor, poor bastards

First you got me in your sights Then you hit me in the heart Your first advances I denied You had me thinking I was so smart Then you came around for me I was locked away so safely You kissed my hand down on your knees So I handed you the keys And now I'm a slave of love slave of love a slave of a lover for you I'm a slave of love slave of love a slave of a lover for you Now that you've got me in the palm of your hand Your every wish is my command Your every dream I'll make come true Oh what will you have me do I'm a slave of love slave of love a slave of a lover for you I'm a slave of love slave of love a slave of a lover for you And I used to think that love would set me free How wrong could I be You must have seen that I was so naive When your love took control of me slave of love slave of love slave of a lover for you I'm a slave of love slave of love a slave of a lover for you I'm a slave of love slave of love a slave of a lover for you I'm a slave of love slave of love Im a slave of a lover for you Oh what will you have me do?

It wasn't written in the stars Just hangin' round in a small city bar But I sure love the look of you after I've had a few And I ain't tryin' to bring you pain You look at me and I turn away But you keep pulling me back in, again And again... So don't you close your eyes at night And dream while she's by your side If your mind's made up I'll be moving on Just kiss me goodbye Cause it's not enough, when I'm feeling so wrong For thinking of you all the time When I'm thinking of you every night Just can't stop thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you Here we are it's 6 AM Sun's gone down now it's coming up again suppose I'll never understand a man, a man... So don't you close your eyes at night And dream of me by your side If your mind's made up I'll be moving on Just kiss me goodbye Cause it's not enough, when I'm feeling so wrong For thinking of you all the time If your mind's made up I'll be moving on Just kiss me goodbye Cause it's not enough, when I'm feeling so wrong For thinking of you all the time When I'm thinking of you every night Just can't stop thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you I just can't stop thinking about you

Maker's Moon 04:00
Born of the flowing water Underneath a Maker's moon If I was a better daughter I'd find my way to Saskatoon Cause I was raised on that prairie where the night is our best friend And I miss running blindly Through fields that never end For all the memories we've had A Maker's moon is glad To shine down on you And all the good friends that we've lost Will help us sing along We'll pour one out for you On this Maker's moon Hail to the Queen City where green runs in the blood Where the whiskey flows like water And the night is always young For all the memories we've had A Maker's moon is glad To shine down on you And all the good friends that we've lost Will help us sing along We'll pour one out for you On this Maker's moon Now the devil's in the barely hiding in the grain the bottle's half full and calling my name Catcher's in the rye, but I can't be saved For all the memories we've had A Maker's moon is glad To shine down on you And all the good friends that we've lost Will help us sing along We'll pour one out for you On this Maker's moon

about

Special thanks to everyone who helped make this 3 album project possible & supported this grueling vision- all the musicians who had amazing performances, friends & (especially) my family who encouraged & supported me through a 4 year process, & anyone who gave up a portion of their home at some point for recording & mixing to happen in (or just a spot for me to stay or mind your pet!) This is the first of 3 releases that were all tracked & mixed in over 20 different homes, apartments, offices, studios, & one log cabin - in everywhere from Vancouver, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, & Toronto - between Sept 2012 and Dec 2016

about

Val Halla regina

I've been playing music and chasing that dream for 11 years now. I don't dream of American Idol or X Factor. I work hard for each dollar. I hit the highways & and the harmsways. And so far I've managed to always make it back. Some say its country, some say its rock, some say its weird when I sing with those who do Hip Hop. I say I'll give you something to hold on to, and then together WE GO! ... more
