I got a bag full of dreams in my pocketI see your boat, but I don't wanna rock itFree your mind, let me help you unlock itJust the sound of the times we live inTo be taking more than we're givenSit back let your conscience go swimmingJust the sound of the times we live inWe comin' alive, just step insideTake your medicineIt's all in the mind, just a matter of time'Till you're on your feet againWe're making the grade, yeah we got it madeNo need to be born againWe're comin' alive, just step insideTake your medicineI was rolling with the fooled in a jacketI talk tough, but I know how to back itI always got mats thrown in my racketSee the future 'cause I always had an act for itGet you coming alive on the weekendsWhere the mystery always deepensI'll get you back online with your feelingsGet you living again on the weekendsWe comin' alive, just step insideTake your medicineIt's all in the mind, just a matter of time'Till you're on your feet againWe're making the grade, yeah we

bag soul, let me fill itYou got legs, but you rolling with the spiritsYou got a heart, won't you let me get near it?You got magic on your mind, don't you fear it?When they tell you the sky's the limitIt's your piece of the pie, so live itAnd if the future's too bright, I can dim it'Cause they tell you the sky's the limitWe comin' alive, just step insideTake your medicineIt's all in the mind, just a matter of time'Till you're on your feet againWe're making the grade, yeah we got it madeNo need to be born againWe're comin' alive, just step insideTake your medicine Two more than what I needThree fingers deeper than the bottom of the darkest seaThe things I needSo out of reachThere's nothing I believe in that you can teachAnd how can I explainThis hole to everyone?I'm so ashamedJust wish that I could runAway and hideTill they forget my nameThis time, it's trueI'm really gonna changeThis time, it's trueI'm really gonna changeI'm really gonna changeI let my tongueJust run and runWhen I looked for my friends but they were goneThey were goneThe violenceWas so completeIt left a gaping hole down on Main StreetThey left meWith broken teethNow I spit when I sing and whistle when I speakAnd how can I explainThis hole to everyone?I'm so ashamedJust wish that I could runAway and hideTill they forget my nameThis time, it's trueI'm really gonna changeThis time, it's trueI'm really gonna changeI'm really gonna changeHere I go againThree sheets to the windLoose lips sink shipsBut I'm caught in a riptideBad luck always wins by a landslideSet sail for the sunIt's gonna be a long nightI may not sleepWith these broken teethStill got the sky above and the ground beneathThe things I needSo out of reachThere's nothing I believe in that you can teachThat you can teachCause there's a hole where something used to beAnd how can I explainThis hole to anyone?I'm so ashamedJust wish that I could runAway and hideTill they forget my nameThis time, it's trueI'm really gonna changeThis time, it's trueI'm really gonna changeThis time, it's trueI'm really gonna changeI'm really gonna change In forgotten hours when we escapeThrough the winking eyes and the secret handshakesDisposable

don't stop, keep moving just go, go, go.Every night I free fall into a dream,mirrored halls in the chrome machine,it's a phenomenon that goes on and on,saying it right but you're doing it wrong.Slow

moving don't stop,we may never be the same again, we may never be the same againkeep moving don't stop, keep moving just go, go, go.We are we are the angry apes,we don't want to look at no empty plates.We are we are the fire brigade,all we want to do is set the record straight.We are we are the first degree,we're the thief, we're the judge, we're the jury.We are we are the angry apesshake the fruit from the vine till there's nothing to take now.It's a phenomenon that goes on and on,saying it right but you're doing it wrong,tongue tied a fire inside,caught like a deer in the headlights.Slow down you're going too fast now,a delicate dance take your foot off the gas now,don't try making it last now,sooner later you're a thing of the past.We're all in this together, so keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop,we're all in this tougher, so keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop,we may never be the same again, we will never be the same again,keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop,we may never be the same again, we may never be the same again,keep moving don't stop, keep moving don't stop,keep moving don't stop, keep moving just go, go, go.

crawlTime, time is only silhouettes, shadow puppets on the wallPouring in through the holes slowing traffic to a crawlMakes you tick but don't forget that you can never have it allListen to the raindrops falling on the treetopsAngola, Angola, I never should have left you aloneMany miles from home on the dawn patrolWhere the elephants roam and the red hills rollRed sand red sand like a sea of bloodCold hands on the trigger wet boots in the mudListen to the gunshots echo through the treetopsAngola, Angola, I never should have left you aloneThe world's on fire, there's nowhere to runThe world's on fire, try and hold onAnd if you're doing what you shouldn't turn the other wayBecause the proof is in the pudding so the old wives sayYou gotta cut that rope till your hands are freeAnd throw off that yoke that keeps you on your kneesListen to the gunshots echo ‘cross the rooftopsAngola, Angola, I never should have left you aloneThe world's on fire, there's nowhere to runThe worlds' on fire, try and hold onCan you feel it, can you feel it, I can taste it, I can taste itIs it real now, is it real now, did we make it, did we make itCan you feel it, can you feel it, I can taste it, I can taste itIf we dream it, if we dream it, we can make it, we can make itAngola, Angola, I never should have left youAngola, Angola, I never should have left you aloneAngola, Angola, I never should have left youAngola, Angola, I never should have left you alone Taping my knuckles for a dust-up‘Cause there's no other way for me to fill my cup, woahNow every time that I break downSome up and comer

close to the sunSet the world on fire if you're so inclinedGonna lay down low, gonna bide my timeGonna pull the strings till it all unwindsBut set yourself on fire if you're so inclinedI ain't going down easyI ain't going down easyYou're not the only oneWho's flying too close to the sunFlying too close to the sunI, I coulda been a contenderI coulda been a contender, I coulda been a contenderI, I

Mother fucker! Being human ain’t what it used to be. We leap eras in weeks, going forwards and backwards simultaneously — the 21st century has become a horror show of technological evolution in the face of political regression. Sam Roberts Band began its seven album arc way back in 2002. Back then, despite the nightmares unfolding in Afghanistan and Iraq, possibility still seemed, well … possible. Back then, Canada’s highways stretched toward something other than a flaming protest over an oil pipeline, and it wasn’t insane to believe that the future would usher in the future, rather than some shit-blasted reboot of the 1930s.But a question: has SRB ever believed in the future? I’m not so sure they have. “I’ve been dying since the day I was born,” Roberts correctly observed on his debut solo album, We Were Born in a Flame. Indeed, the band has never submitted to rock n' roll’s priapic Fender-first machismo, but rather delivered an elegiac swoon wrapped in late afternoon sunshine — hard-won shimmer concealing the pain of maturing, getting older, losing.Thankfully, despite the autumnal sensibility that runs through their discography, SRB has never come across as a bummer. Their songs aren’t dirges —  they’re blueprints for how to be properly alive. This alchemical high-wire act can’t be easy to pull off, especially when their signature sing-along line is, “I think my life is passing me by”. But they’ve managed to keep us sane through the tumult, even if the arena-ready anthems are undercut by the agony of being fully human in inhuman conditions. The band’s latest record triples down on this methodology. “All Of Us” arrives in the middle of a global pandemic rendered infinitely worse by industrial-grade stupidity that was impossible to either imagine or predict. The album’s opener, “Wolf Tracks”, immediately dumps us in the Covidian wilderness, socially distanced from the pack, scattered, alone. Where does the path lead? To a version of the abyss that holds, dare I say it, promise? “I’m standing on the edge of everything,” Roberts insists, neon-soaked in ‘eighties synths and thundering bass drums.This twilight-set album is not, however, radically optimistic so much as it refuses to fall into despair. With “War Chest”, we are presented with the image of a place in which to store all the good stuff that happens to us, however ephemeral: lazy afternoons, a lover’s laughter, sunlight. But why a war chest? With whom (or what) are we to engage in battle? Perhaps we are at war with both memory, which is always a lie, and forgetting, which is always a submission. Coming to terms with this unsolvable riddle requires a single ingredient: “Without love, where would we be?” asks Roberts.Ah man, we could all use a little love these days. And love — familial, rather than romantic — forms the theme that runs through the nine-track album. On “Ascension”, a genuine arena-rock stomper, we arrive at the idea of self-love, and an ode to the power of perseverance — “you’re never too old to try”, Roberts insists. These are nice words to hear when you’re lying in the gutter looking up at the delicate contrails of an intercontinental ballistic missile. The song, like so much of the album, punches at the phantoms of loss that surround us as time leaves us behind.In order to grasp the nature of possibility in a bleak world, we can access the map that “Spellbound” conceals in its lyrics. The track takes place just as winter is setting in, and it conjures the contrasting warmth of a mother’s love, of home, of safety. This isn’t nostalgia, nor is it an ideological program based on the manifestos of bad men and their bedsheet-wearing supporters. It’s the sense of peace that comes from the understanding that we never say goodbye, that we’re constantly re-versioning ourselves. (The most dangerous idea in the demagogue’s playbook is that we are fixed and un-moveable in our identities.) The album’s closer, “Youth”, is more straightforwardly nostalgic, and yet it is also about the inevitability of time passing, and of maintaining the parts of ourselves that encounter the world with the wide-eyed wonder it deserves.Throughout this heartbreaking journey, Sam Roberts Band moves emphatically towards the 21st year of the 21st century, where life isn’t just passing us by, it’s coming at us with a chainsaw and an eviction notice. In this swirl of malevolence, salvation arrives not in the narrow kinship of the wolf pack, but in a much larger program of solidarity. The clue is in the album’s title: All Of Us. Everyone, locked together in the insane asylum that constitutes late capitalism’s plague-sickened socio-economic matrix, fighting to be free. We have now lived through a strange eon where togetherness breeds contagion, but being trapped in our silos is far deadlier — a road to anger and hatred that has nearly collapsed the supporting beams of every institution worth fighting for. The album’s title track forms a counterpoint to “Wolf Tracks”. “I will follow you to the end of the road, no you’ll never be alone,” promises Roberts. It won’t be easy — solidarity never is. But it beats being scattered by the wind. “In the darkest times, we’re running for the light,” Roberts shouts on the album opener. I think he’s right. And we’ll be carrying All Of Us as a talisman, to help us ward off the shadows that threaten to erase not just ourselves, but our love.
