about

Back in January, we went into the studio and recorded a slew of songs. This is the first batch to come out. We couldn't be more excited to share this music with you if we tried.

Thank you so much to everyone that helped make this possible.

And, as always, we'll see you at the shows.

Much love,
Canary

about

At its core, Canary is a rock band. Drawing on influences from the British Invasion and classic American rock and pop, Canary is a band armed with a live show dressed to kill, energy to boot, and songs that will stick with you for a lifetime.

Think Led Zeppelin meets Fleetwood Mac and you'll get the idea. ... more

Track Name: I Never Said
I never said I was a saint
I do things I know I shouldn't do
I have no self-restraint
And I've been known to be a fool

Ohh, you think I'm kidding
Ohh, you think I'm messing around

I never said I wasn't guilty
Of all the things I might have done
The question's asked already
Where did she hide the gun

Ohh, you think I'm kidding
Ohh, you think I'm messing around
Well I've been known to lie
But not this time around

Ohh, you think I'm kidding
Ohh, you think I'm messing around
Well I've been known to lie
But not this time around

Yeah I've been known to lie
Look where lying's got me now
Track Name: You Couldn't Hold On
I can see your point of view
This is a world you're not used to
I could try to change your mind
But I don't see the point

Soon you'll come to find the man was right all along
But you couldn't hold on

I understand you made your choice
But I wonder how you'll fill the void
There's gonna be an empty space
Some things you just can't replace

Soon you'll come to find maybe you were wrong
But you couldn't hold on

Go run back to your friends
You couldn't bear to be where you hadn't been
Go run back to your brother's side
I won't try to stop you

Soon you'll come to find yourself in this song
But you couldn't hold on
Track Name: Handsome Stranger
Handsome stranger
How'd you end up in my bed
Handsome stranger
How'd you end up in my bed

Well it must have been
Something that I said

Handsome stranger
I don't even know your name
Handsome stranger
I don't even know your name

Does it make a difference
Think you'd love me all the same

Handsome stranger
You can stay with me all night
Handsome stranger
You can stay with me all night

And then in the morning
We can face the light

Handsome stranger
You took me for a ride
Handsome stranger
You took me for a ride

I'm so close to heaven
I swear I almost died

I'm so close to heaven
I swear I almost died
Track Name: Daddy Ain't Comin' Home
My daddy ain't home no more
My daddy's been gone since he left for the war
Times are a-changin', but the lovin' is still there
And daddy ain't comin' back 'til the good lord answers my prayers

There's dust in my eyes but I can't feel the pain
These tears have been shed, no longer does it rain
These lands ain't fertile, but my heart won't let me give in
Daddy ain't comin' back 'til the Union Army wins

Home, home, home
My daddy ain't comin' home
Home, home, home
My daddy ain't comin' home
Home, home, home
My daddy ain't comin' home
Home, home, home
My daddy ain't comin' home

My daddy ain't home no more
My daddy's been gone since he left for the war
Mama came in last night in the arms of another man
Daddy ain't comin' back he was killed for the land

Home, home, home
My daddy ain't comin' home
Home, home, home
My daddy ain't comin' home
Home, home, home
My daddy ain't comin' home
Home, home, home
My daddy ain't comin' home
