Slips Away 05:16
lyrics

SLIPS AWAY Don’t I know you Have we met before Did we have something That’s not there anymore All I know for sure is we’re apart Did we ever know each others heart I don’t know So long ago Do you see me Or do you look right through Do you remember Me and you How did I believe we’d never change How could something so familiar seem so strange I don’t know So long ago It slips away Like sand through your hands Here one day But life makes other plans All that’s left is a memory And memories fade It slips away Was there something that made us turn and run Or was there nothing we could have done Nothing is as simple as it seems Why does this all feel like just a dream I don’t know So long ago It slips away Like sand through your hands Here one day But life makes other plans All that’s left is a memory And memories fade It slips away I don’t know So long ago It slips away Like sand through your hands Here one day But life makes other plans All that’s left is a memory And memories fade It slips away

Little Victories 05:01
lyrics

LITTLE VICTORIES First you learn to crawl Then you stand up tall And even if you fall You start again Nothings easy yet Just take baby steps Let it go Let it begin. I can’t change the way you see me I don’t care if you believe me I will fight for what is mine Little Victories Come and find me Please
 Don’t deny me My Little Victories Second chances come If you never run I'm not the only one that hurts I have made mistakes But I refuse to break This little heart knows what it's worth You can’t take away this feeling Understand that I am dealing With it one step at a time Little Victories Come and find me Please... 
 Don’t deny me My Little Victories Some things aren’t meant to change Deep inside your stronger than the pain This cocoon is just a cage Till it's time to fly Fly away First you learn to crawl Then you stand up tall And even if you fall You start again Little Victories Come and find me Please
 Don’t deny me My Little Victories

So Long 04:30
lyrics

SO LONG Behind me roads I’ve never taken Been looking back to find what’s mine How far to come to never make it Still I'm here looking for that sign. I wouldn’t ask if I had answers I wouldn’t wrestle if I had peace Try hard to un-see all the things I’ve seen But the shadows keep following me How am I supposed to live How am I supposed to know How am I supposed to tell the living from the ghosts How can I breathe How can I go on Surrounded by these memories for so long What hasn’t been cannot define me You will find me unafraid Sometimes it’s hard to see the future When the past keeps getting in the way How am I supposed to live How am I supposed to know How am I supposed to tell the living from the ghosts How can I breathe How can I go on Surrounded by these memories for so long So long to all the dreams that never came So long to all the pain that took its place But all the same I remain. How am I supposed to live How am I supposed to know How am I supposed to tell the living from the ghosts How can I breathe 
 How can I go on Surrounded by these memories for so long So long

Lonely 05:36
lyrics
buy track
LONELY I know you hit a little bump
 I know its been a little rough But nothing lasts for ever I know it didn’t go your way
 I know you’ve seen better days
 I know you’re never been a quitter I know your well
 I know you mind
 I know it takes a little time
 I know it’s easy to get bitter Lonely Don’t be afraid to lean on me There are no more tears to cry There are no more wars to fight You’ll never have to be Lonely I know your life has not been kind
 I know it’s messing with your mind Can’t find the answer in these streets I know you’ve had your share of fights You just want to make it right
 That’s why you try so hard to please I know your will
 I know its strong
 I know Its been so very You deserve a little peace Lonely Don’t be afraid to lean on me There are no more tears to cry There are no more wars to fight You’ll never have to be Lonely I know it’s hard to find your pride I know you hate the way he lied Like a wound that never heals I know you’re searching for the truth Just looking for some proof Can’t imagine how that feels I know your tried
 I know it’s hard
 I know your holding all the cards You just gotta deal 
 Lonely Don’t be afraid to lean on me There are no more tears to cry There are no more wars to fight You’ll never have to be Lonely

When I Fall 04:50
lyrics
buy track
WHEN I FALL You said go to bed babe I got this
 Lots of noise to worry about but not this 
 No regrets we said we made a promise 
 All that I ask is be patient with me 
 These scars make it hard to believe When I fall down
 Will you catch me catch me
 When I fall down
 Will you catch me before I hit the ground I said I live on the edge sometimes
 In between madness and magic is a fine line
 There’ll be days when it's hard to read my mind. 
 Be kind All that I ask is you please understand 
 Don’t try to change who I am When I fall down
 Will you catch me catch me
 When I fall down
 Will you catch me before I hit the ground Everybody falls 
 Everybody bleeds 
 Everybody cries 
 Sometimes I’ve been known to break 
 But if you're here with me 
 I am not afraid this time When I fall down Will you catch me catch me When I fall down Will you catch me before I hit the ground

Armor 03:59
lyrics

ARMOR
 Haven't found the words
 But I'm sinking like a stone 
 Don’t know why it hurts 
 But I bare it on my own From the outside looking in 
 Everything might look fine
 But if you knew where I’d been 
 Then you’d know how much I hide If I could lay this armor down 
 Watch pieces fall all around 
 Take away the doubt
 Let the truth come out
 If I could lay this armor down I'm a stranger in this place Where I thought I’d belong Just looking for grace 
 Barely hold on Try not to let it show 
 Never ask for help 
 Can’t let anybody know 
 Just keep it to myself If I could lay this armor down 
 Watch pieces fall all around 
 Take away the doubt
 Let the truth come out
 If I could lay this armor down Protect me on the battlefield 
 Keep me and all my secrets sealed 
 Help shield me from the fear 
 I'm trapped in here If I could lay this armor down 
 Watch pieces fall all around 
 Take away the doubt
 Let the truth come out
 If I could lay this armor down...

One Good Reason 04:34

ONE GOOD REASON Oh wow I still love you even now Oh hey how I miss you though you're half a life away Oh wow I still love you even now
 I know Sometimes it’s funny how life goes. Oh my my Seems like only yesterday we waved goodbye Time flies Give me one good reason I don’t understand It slipped right through our hands Give me one good reason love wasn’t enough I can’t to believe we’re gone forever Two young hearts meant to be together Give me one good reason love wasn’t enough Oh I find you in between the lines I try to hold onto the memories and try to find
 A lifeline 
 Give me one good reason, I don’t understand It slipped right through our hands. Give me one good reason love wasn’t enough To keep us safe, keep us whole
 Wasn’t Enough
 To keep us under control
 Wasn’t Enough To help us find our way home Give me one good reason I don’t understand It slipped right through our hands Give me one good reason love wasn’t enough I can’t to believe we’re gone forever Two young hearts meant to be together Give me one good reason love wasn’t enough

Sink Like A Stone 04:42

SINK LIKE A STONE You’ve been awfully kind I hope you don’t mind if I sit by myself I'm not gonna to lie But if you look inside You will find nothing left Just someone trying to forget And I guess I best be leaving alone You don’t have to follow me home I need no help to sink like a stone In my head I let the memories drive I'm just along for the ride I carry this burden alone I sink like a stone It’s all pretty new Not quite used to all this the empty space Lost in the ruins Bruised and confused but I still see his face Somethings you just can’t erase 
 And I guess I best be leaving alone You don’t have to follow me home I need no help to sink like a stone In my head I let the memories drive I'm just along for the ride I carry this burden alone I Sink like a stone Throw a stone into the water Watch the current drag it under Heavy hearted Standing at the shore
 And I guess I best be leaving alone You don’t have to follow me home I need no help to sink like a stone In my head I let the memories drive I'm just along for the ride I carry this burden alone I sink like a stone Sink like a stone

REWIND Starting over Turning back time My oldest friend Let’s try again Rewind Lines on our faces Lines in the sand Don’t define you and me Don’t let this be The end Maybe we’re crazy Maybe our time is gone Maybe it's easier To just move on Starting over Starting today Even though we went wrong Lets just hold on Stay I know your hurting You know I’m hurting too Can’t we just get back To me and you Starting over Starting today Even though we went wrong Lets just hold on Stay I know we went wrong Lets just hold on Stay

about

New York City has a magical way of bringing people together. One November night in the East Village, it introduced an up and coming singer/songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to a prolific veteran of the music industry. What happened next is where things get interesting. With one on guitar and the other on keys, one having crafted songs for likes of Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand and Dolly Parton and the other cutting her teeth in clubs, cafes and hotel bars across North America...they came together across 456 miles to collaborate and cowrite some of the most tactile, emotional and powerful music either of them has produced in their combined 50 years in the industry. Natasha's haunting vocals set the mood for a group of honest, personal and deeply introspective songs that deal with memory, possibilities, loss and empowerment. It is clear in this collection of 'Simple Songs', that although from different worlds, their common connecting thread is a love of storytelling through songwriting.

Simple Songs, is a collection of 9 songs, written and recorded over the past few years but have found their world wide release in a time when, now more than ever, things are not so simple. From the very first note to the last bar, it was written to connect with one another through songwriting and storytelling and share our collective experience. That is the power of music and song.
Though the world has pressed pause, we hope you press play on Simple Songs.
