lyrics

Never mind the way the colours dance and shimmer,
You know it's only oil in a puddle,
Never mind the beauty of everything around you,
You know it only gets you into trouble,

And I can't say I'll always be this way,
Any I don't need assurance that you'll stay,
'Cause we are free agents,
Who know what we want,
And we are happy wanderers,
Who follow our hearts,

Lately I prefer the lack of clarity,
To the feeling of obligation,
Lately I prefer the stable variety,
Of several sure things,

And I can't say I'll always be this way,
Any I don't need assurance that you'll stay,
'Cause we are free agents,
Who know what we want,
And we are happy wanderers,
Who follow our hearts,

But it’s not all about me, and it’s not all about you,
We’ve gotta make concessions for the greater good,
You might think I’m insensitive to put my feelings first,
But ignoring them is worse, yeah, ignoring them is worse,

I don’t stay out late awaiting my destiny,
My happy ever after mate,
But if I care to go I ain’t misbehaving,
Rebellion ain’t my game,

And I can't say I'll always be this way,
Any I don't need assurance that you'll stay,
'Cause we are free agents,
Who know what we want,
And we are happy wanderers,
Who follow our hearts,
We follow our hearts,
We follow our hearts

Libby Hortop Ottawa, Ontario

In 2014, Libby Hortop bought an autoharp off Kijiji on a whim and began writing songs in the simplest, most uninhibited way possible. When she teamed up with seasoned guitarist and singer Cal Tranner, Libby & Cal was born. Their jangly strings and smooth vocal harmonies combine to create a unique but accessible sound. They have performed at Kaffé 1820, Roxham Woolgathering, Art House, and Pressed. ... more
