lyrics

NEW NORTHWEST
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

Here I stand, a free man, I,
Finding it too hard to lie-
Your regard pleads me to stay,
Yet still I must make my way-

God has answered my one plea,
I will walk forever free,
We must part, heart to heart, though still we will always be-

ROCK & WATER, FISH & TREE
CALLING LOUD & LONG FOR ME!
FROM A LAND WHERE I'LL BE BLESSED-
A HOME WITHIN THE NEW NORTHWEST!

From the truth we cannot hide,
I cannot stay by your side-
You will have to let me go,
Knowing all that I now know-

Secrets we both have a few,
This one I have told to you,
Salt and loam, hearth and home, will give to me life anew-

There’s a time I know not when,
Separate paths may cross again-
Eyes will meet and hands will clasp,
Pain this day will loose it’s grasp-

We’ll both have our lives and still,
Of this bond not have our fill,
Trust my friend, in the end, it’s all up to Heaven’s will-

There’s the land where I’ll be blessed!
My home within the New Northwest!

Balance of Nature
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 26 fans who also own “New Northwest”

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to. Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani

This is exactly the album that I need right now. Especially Warlock's Oath and Fang into Vein. Of course, the entire album is glorious spooky goodness. I'm in love. <3 Sai Chi

AJ Adams is quite phenomenal. I have followed his music since he became the Heir to the Heatherlands when Heather Alexander retired and returned to the Land of the Fae. Being true to one's self is difficult for many of us, but for those of us (like AJ Adams, and also myself) who are trans, being true to yourself is one of the hardest things we can do. This holiday album is as much a celebration of authenticity as it is of the Season. Delenn

Alexander James Adams is one of my all time favorite musicians; his music has seen me through both dark times and fair. His musicianship is excellent, a master Bard, songwriter, and fiddler. Cannot recommend his work enough; his music is exceptional! gaycelt
