Hero 04:39
There's a war going on You know, you know which line you're fighting from You took off to a land; did something pull you in? Did it climb up on your back? Oh my friend from the past I am wondering Where have you gone today? I did hope for the best But you're not on my side, no, you're not on my side today You didn't think you had enough That's because you'll never have enough You took off to a land Where you could be a superhero A mighty, mighty man Oh my friend from the past I am wondering Where have you gone today? I did hope for the best But you're not on my side, no you're not on my side today There's a war that's going on You can't be a superhero But you're already A mighty, mighty man A mighty, mighty man You're not on my side No, you're not on my side No, you're not on my side today

See-Through 03:12
Help me find the man who said to me "you don't look real girl" I'll ask him what he meant He said "you're too beautiful" I'll have to ask him what he meant I'm not sure what bothered me the most I wasn't sure if he could see my bare bones I once knew a man who saw in me, a scared little girl I knew what he meant I sat curled up in his arms He knew exactly what I meant Who's the only one who understood me? I wonder how you view me Do you ever see right through me? I'm not sure what bothers me the most How rare it is to find someone who sees my bare bones Do you ever see right through me? Do you ever see right through me? Do you ever see right through me?

Monster 03:50
I saw the highest walls I heard the honest words You shared some quiet tears I stirred the deeper hurts I don't know how to look away When I have seen the greatest view When my eyes have been burned Burned in the best way, burned in the best way I saw a monster there, I gladly shook his hand I don't know much about him but I'm not afraid to meet him I knew the beauty there, I felt the strongest peace You knew the softer heart and I spoke of bigger fears I don't know how to look away When I have seen the greatest view When my eyes have been burned Burned in the best way, burned in the best way That monster built a home, he's furnished every room You're not sure you have what it takes to go down and clear that space You go down and clear that space, Oh, you go down and clear that space I don't know how to look away When I felt called to that place When my eyes have been burned Burned in the best way, burned in the best way I have seen the greatest view, I have seen the greatest view When my eyes have seen the greatest view I have seen the greatest view, I have seen the greatest view When my eyes have been burned, burned in the best way

I own a porcelain store Where there's a lot of good, a lot of good to be found Anything special I'll keep near the back But it's up high enough, up high enough to be seen Oh the precious things And I am the sensitive one Don't come into my shop from the busy street to throw things around You know there are Delicate jars in tight little groups on the shelves I own a porcelain store Where there's a lot of good, a lot of good to be found The front is open to the noisy lane But light comes in, the light shines in on my face Oh that sunlit place And I am the sensitive one Don't come into my shop from the busy street to throw things around You know there are Delicate jars in tight little groups on the shelves I will honour you with my attention I will honour you with my attention I will sort these jars, I would never break them And I am the sensitive one Don't come into my shop from the busy street to throw things around You know there are, you know there are, you know there are Delicate jars in tight little groups on the shelves

Who is that patient man standing in your window? He has been there for days and days Who is that story-teller from the east? He's always climbing over my fences I hope he stays Who is that weathered man wading in the water? He's been sailing for days and days I see that farmer planting in the east He always makes is way westward I hope he stays Laugh lines Kind eyes Lost boy Soft smile Gentle dreamer; Right beside you Big heart Full mind Lost boy Soft smile Honest seeker; He never left you Oh, and you go, and you go, and you go Oh, and you go, and you go, and you go Oh, and you go, and you go, and you go, go, go Right beside you

In the day and in the night I hear a lot of sounds I see so many sights It's a mess around here And you won't open your mouth It's a mess around here I can see the aftermath Last night I had a bad dream It was the bloodiest scene I've seen We stood across from each other I saw the most vivid colour It poured out of you It poured out of you Maybe I'm crazy With all this talk, talk, talking about the spirit, oh the spirit Maybe I'd stop if I didn't hear it Maybe I'd stop if I didn't see it everyday Last night I had a bad dream It was the bloodiest scene I've seen We stood across from each other I saw the most vivid colour It poured out of you It poured out of you

released June 23, 2016

My gratitude goes to many, many people who directly or indirectly made this thing happen. Midseason got put on the back-burner many-a-time; usually when I ran out of time, or money, or energy. There are so many people who kept helping me pull it off the back-burner and I am so thankful for that.

Thanks especially to Jordan Klassen, Jordaniel Bennett, and Jonathan Anderson for your patience with this, your incredible talents, your belief in me, your ability to translate my ideas when I couldn’t always articulate them myself, your willingness to "just try” things to appease me, and your commitment to making these songs sound good. Matt Tomkinson, Andy Huculiak, and Cayne McKenzie for gifting me with your presence, lending your excellent artistry, and being loyal friends. My family (immediate and extended) for cheering me on. Special thanks to my Ma and Pa for their endless support and for raising me to be a passionate girl who has always felt free to pursue the things that I believe in and to commit to seeing ideas come to life. Danny Costello (and Sinclair Studios), Tony Marriot (Blue Wave Studios), Ian Lopez, Chapel Of Epiphany at UBC, Darcy Wood (Immanuel Fellowship Baptist), Southside Community Church, and St. Chiara for providing spaces to record and make noise. Amanda Schweers and Nick Bernal for being encouraging, answering my questions, and for just generally giving a shit. Le Marche St. George for being good neighbours and for the use of your glorious backyard for photos. Liz Kirk and Stephanie Ratcliff for overall accountability, management assistance, and for being joyful helpers/friends. Daniel Robertson, Kevin McAlary (Kevin Jacob Photography) and Dwight Jantzi (Thoughtbox Visuals) for your time, talents, ideas, and good spirits. The entire Artisan Church community for existing, being hopeful and challenging, inspiring and safe, and supplying me with droves of babies to love and snuggle. Many friends and fellow musicians who have been around for a long while, put up with me on tour, influenced me, been my biggest fans, or been in the trenches with me: Simon Bridgefoot, Brian Chan, Sarah VanPopta, Cassie Gillam, Myken Dahlen, all 6 sweet Odegards, Jordan Kurtz, Nathan Graalman, Shari and Ivan van Spronsen, Adrian Glynn, We Are The City, Close Talker, Mike Edel, Andy Shauf, Anthony Martens, and Stefan Maier. I am sure I am forgetting many and am so aware that there are countless people near and far who have supported me, thought good thoughts for me, and anticipated these songs with me. I hope I can properly thank you all in this lifetime.

With an overflow of appreciation and love,

Jocelyn
