Can you see the Beauty, in me see the Beauty, in yourself see the Beauty, in everybody Can you see, Can you see Can you see the Beauty Nobody said that it would be easy Shed a river of tears my friend Then dry yourself off on the sunny shore Until you start all over again…. Meanwhile… Can you see the Beauty, in me see the Beauty, in yourself see the Beauty, in the scenery Can you see, Can you see Can you see the Beauty I want out of this worn body I can’t see past my fears The mountain feels too rough to climb I need help shifting gears, help me see the Beauty, in thee see the Beauty, in myself see the Beauty, in my adversary So I see, so I see So I see the Beauty…. Do you want to get radical Put your head around this Do you want to get radical Put your head around, put your head around this Do you want to get radical Put your head around this Radical Acceptance Cause if I can accept it Everything is OK If I can accept it Everything is alright If I can accept it Everything is OK It’s ok, It’s OK Everything is alright…..in me….

Salty Thoughts A little bit sour A little bit sweet I like it going past my teeth I like the taste upon my tongue And the tingle when it’s done A little bit spicy A little bit hot Another teaspoon, maybe not. My hunger grows, my craving shows I better keep the flame on low I’ve got salty thoughts As I stir my pot Steaming, simmering, boiling, bubbling Salty thoughts I’ve bitten off more than I can chew But I’d like to share this meal with you It’ll heat me, gently, sweetly Fill me up, tasty, completely When I see this feast we made All these flavours on parade I can wait, anticipate What you’ll dish out upon my plate I’ve got salty thoughts As I stir my pot Steaming, simmering, boiling, bubbling Salty thoughts Bridge: You’ve got a sweet tooth I’ve got a salty one Sing sweet sweet nothins to me I’ll be on the salt shaker I’ve got salty thoughts As I stir my pot Steaming, simmering, boiling, bubbling I’m overwrought I’ve got salty thoughts As I stir my pot Sweeeet/Salty Thoughts Steaming, simmering, boiling, bubbling Sweeeeet/Salty thoughts

Longing 03:16
Longing Longing is a deep desire Like a damp chill seeking fire It feels unachievable Too sad to be dreamable And in that space there’s longing In that space there is longing Swept up in my loss I see her long beautiful able-bodied fingers Glide effortlessly along The neck of her guitar Longing is a deep desire Like a damp chill seeking fire It feels unachievable Too sad to be dreamable And in that space there’s longing In that space there is longing Swept up in my loss I see her become one with the music She can dance all night Without losing breath or energy I used to take it all for granted Didn’t know the freedom that was mine It had to be taken away from me To appreciate those times When my cup feels empty I’ve got to fill it up with love Fill it to the brim with laughter So I won’t be swallowed up By that space By that space longing Longing is a deep desire Like a damp chill seeking fire It feels unachievable Too sad to be dreamable And in that space ….. In that space In that space there is longing

Two Kinds of Pie Variety is the spice of life So give me two kinds of pie With whipped cream on the side He peels my apples And picks my cherries He makes jelly Out of my berries When I see him coming I say “I’ll tell you something: I’ve got red hot lovin’ Cookin’ in my oven.” Two kinds of pie Two kinds of pie Two kinds of pie with whipped cream on the side I like two kinds of pie He pounds my cabbage Sauerkraut is salty There ain’t no part of my man that’s faulty When he comes around After being in town I say “I know how To make you sleep sweet & sound” Two kinds of pie Two kinds of pie Two kinds of pie with whipped cream on the side I like two kinds of pie He digs my garden He’s my Soil Man When he gets dirty I plant all I can He pollinates my flowers Grows my peas nice ‘n sweet A healthy diet is complete… with… Two kinds of pie I like two kinds of pie Two kinds of pie with whipped cream on the side I like two kinds of pie Variety is the spice of life So give me two kinds of pie With whipped cream on the side

Apathy is Boring What are we doing? What are we doing now? There’s gotta be something Better What are we doing? What are we doing now? There’s gotta be something Bigger Chorus: We can become an Agent of Change We can Represent I know the couch will be there in the morning And I know that Apathy is boring Represent Get up. Get up Apathy is boring Ivory tower Way up in the clouds This is the hour Now Ivory tower Bringing it on down Making it ours Right now Chorus: We can become an Agent of Change We can Represent I know the couch will be there in the morning And I know that Apathy is boring Represent Get up. Get up Apathy is boring Bridge: Actions speak louder than words Walk the talk, walk the walk Actions speak louder than words We are meant to represent Chorus: We can become an Agent of Change We can Represent I know the couch will be there in the morning And I know that Apathy is boring Represent Get up.

You Can Get it Used Chorus: Wanna know what I got At the 2nd hand shop? Wanna see my score? You’ll never guess how much I got it for. Why buy something new, when you can get it used Get it used. My honey is a scavenger He can find what he’s looking for He can build a whole lot From things that others do not want It may take a little time But he saves more than a dime. Chorus: Wanna know what I got At the 2nd hand shop? Wanna see my score? You’ll never guess how much I got it for. Why buy something new, when you can get it used Get it used. These days things are poorly made You’ll need another one in a day You can fix it if you try But it is cheaper if you buy It seems like such a waste To have to constantly replace Bridge: Someone’s trash is another one’s treasure Someone’s junk is another one’s pleasure Why throw away something perfectly good If you can’t use it, maybe I could We’ll be doing the world a favour If we cut down on our wasteful behaviour Chorus: Wanna know what I got At the 2nd hand shop? Wanna see my score? You’ll never guess who much I got it for. Why buy something new, when you can get it used Get it used.

Shades of Blue How many shades of grey do I see… How many shades of blue can I be… Add some pink and I am plum But give me more black and I’m done, done done Follow my footprints through the fallen snow To a cozy cabin in a place I know No worries, we’ll think of something to do To blow away these Winter Blues How many shades of grey do I see… How many shades of blue can I be… Add some pink and I am plum But give me more black and I’m done, done done Light my fire and heat up my nights Dance me with the moving Northern Lights Show me the diamonds laying in the hoar frost We’ll get through another winter at any cost How many shades of grey do I see… How many shades of blue can I be… Add some pink and I am plum But give me more black and I’m done, done done Colour me yellow, ‘til I see the sun Colour me red until I feel warm Colour me green ‘til I smell the spring Then keep on, keep on colouring How many shades of grey do I see… How many shades of blue can I be… Add some pink and I am plum But give me more black and I’m done, done done

Red Shoes 02:35
Red Shoes Annie has got her red shoes on Annie’s got her red shoes on Annie has got her red shoes on Annie’s got her red shoes on Annie’s had a day. Annie’s had a week Annie doesn’t stop, Annie doesn’t sleep But when she puts her fingers on those piano keys the crowd begs more Annie please….. ‘cause….. Annie has got her red shoes on Annie’s got her red shoes on Annie has got her red shoes on Annie’s got her red shoes on Life as we know it is suspended in time When Annie plays piano everything is fine She lets magic take over and we all receive You see it in her smile. It’s in the air she breathes “Music is healing” I heard her say Worries disappear when she plays Annie has got her red shoes on Annie’s got her red shoes on Annie has got her red shoes on Annie’s got her red shoes on

More than a Diagnosis Blues I go to the Doctor ‘cause I Want to know what’s going on He studies my body But forgets that I am a person. I don’t want your vision of me To cloud how I see myself I will not define my life By an illness I’m in and out of clinics I meet a of cynics I’ve got to feel my loss But dwelling on it has too much of a cost I don’t want your vision of me To cloud how I see myself I will not define my life By an illness I’m so tired of hearing ‘bout progressive, degenerative, condition Why not the possibility of Spontaneous remission? I don’t want your vision of me To cloud how I see myself I will not define my life By an illness So don’t put me in a box A neat and tidy file I’m more than my diagnosis No, that does not mean I’m in denial I don’t want your vision of me To cloud how I see myself I will not define my life By an illness So go on give me your prognosis But I’m more than my diagnosis I am more, I’m so much more

What do you do with your fire? Before I get your number Before we start counting the score Before you enter my dreams at night And take me to that magical shore Before I take your hand And walk you through that door Before I introduce my friends There’s something we cannot ignore What do you do with your fire? Do you heat your home Or do you burn it down? What do you do with your fire? Do you share your spark or spread a flame around? Before I meet your mother Before the photographer shows Before the whole story gets carved in stone Or recorded in indelible prose Before you make me coffee Before I butter your toast Before we install the fridge and stove There’s something I want to know What do you do with your fire? Do you heat your home Or do you burn it down? What do you do with your fire? Do you share your spark or spread a flame around? Where do you burn, burn, burn, burn Honour that spark Where do you burn, burn, burn, burn Follow that flame Where do you burn, burn, burn, burn Honour that spark What do you do with your fire? Do you heat your home Or do you burn it down? What do you do with your fire? Do you share your spark or spread a flame around?

about

“On her fourth independent album, smoky-voiced Nicole Edwards delivers funky, upbeat R&B tunes fit for getting down with on the grass. The Yukon singer has moved through folk rock and jazz and is now knee-deep in blues, funk and soul.” NOW Magazine, Toronto

“a fabulous singing voice. High and soft when she speaks, her voice becomes throaty, huge, expressive and honest when she sings. Sage and Wild Roses, her fourth CD, is my favourite so far…. With Sage and Wild Roses, Edwards is back in singer-songwriter mode, creating catchy jazz-blues songs”. Barry “Jack” Jenkins, What’s Up Yukon

“For this album, she’s assembled a Yukon all-star band, The Joy Seekers. With co-writer Dave Haddock on bass and backup vocals, Annie Avery on keyboard, Bob Hamilton on guitar and banjo, Ed White on drums, and Brandon Isaak providing lead guitar on three tracks, these songs are performed by a solid blues band.” Barry “Jack” Jenkins, What’s Up Yukon
