Love Gone By 04:05
Find my way to your apartment Where I find a new place To hide away And the stares Of the people that I meet along the way They seem to say That I’m home I’m going home I used to know happiness For a while, as a child With my friend, in the sand She held my hand I understand That these days are now gone They are gone I spend my days just sitting here It’s not so clear I’ll just disappear Into the thought of her eyes I’m hypnotized And I know It’s not a show It’s a love gone by As she waves goodbye
2.
Home That’s where I wanna be Back where the leaves are green And the lawn’s nicely mowed ‘Cause it’s home Can’t get my mind around The uselessness of this town Give me those gravel roads ‘Cause it’s home Yeah, that’s home No central air, just a fan My dad has a farmer tan Yeah, and he’s just the man That I want to be And momma she’s cooking food I got slapped for being rude And the Bible says that is good Yeah, and that’s home Underneath shaded trees Lying in fields of wheat Until mom calls us on To our home My first kiss was behind the shed How I long for the innocence Growing up I had known ‘Cause it’s home Yeah, that’s home My brother says, ‘Have a catch’ My sister, yeah, she was fast And my dad was the quarterback And momma she’d cheer us on She did ever since we were young ‘Til this day she still carries on Yeah, that’s home But now it’s all fading fast Wanna make the moment last And savour life in the past Of being at home Now you’re asking me if I would I wouldn’t change it if I could ‘Cause that’s when my life was good Was being at home
3.
The pale of the blue light It’s all around me My fists clenched so tight My sin heaped upon me I’m saddled and ready With the weight of the world As my guide And so I ride Into the great divide Where I choose I choose I choose to abide And so I find The courage to say Lord Please give me Some other way And no reservation And no obligation And no condemnation And it seems to me That I’m stuck in the same dream With no easy way out And I’m searching for truth I’m searching for comfort But I’m really searching for you What would I find? If I ever found you But I’m scared I’m scared To figure that out And so I find The courage to say Lord Please give me Some other way And no reservation And no obligation And no hesitation And no isolation And no condemnation
4.
Senseless 07:00
I didn’t cry When I lost sight in both of my eyes ‘Cause I have seen What most men would only dream And I’ve seen you I didn’t fear When my ears could no longer hear ‘Cause lingering Are the notes you used to sing And you’re all that I hear Angels stop to see All the beauty and grace you exude In my disbelief Caught up in only the vision of you And what my life could mean When you said ‘I love you’ And I could care less That my hands cannot tell What they possess Or taste so sweet Or the smell of the dew Running off of the tree ‘Cause you’re all around me Angels stop to see All the beauty and grace you exude In my disbelief Caught up only in the vision of you And what my life could mean When you said ‘I love you’ I didn’t cry When I lost sight in both of my eyes I didn’t fear When my ears could no longer hear And I could care less That my hands cannot tell Or taste so sweet Or the smell of the dew Running off of the tree ‘Cause you’re all around me And I lost my senses I lost my senses I lost my senses When I lost you
5.
Sometimes I often wonder aloud Sometimes I wonder what it is That keeps my feet here upon the ground And I’m talking aloud Some times we had were often okay Sometimes I wanna try to wrap around The words that you are trying to say I’m not listening anyway And you talk about it You’re talking too loud My words become entangled in fear I really just wanna say The words that you really wanna hear When I fucked up your ear You talk about it You’re talking too loud My words are weapons You beat into the ground You kill them with a sound You’re talking too loud We’re talking too loud (whistling interlude) My words are weapons You beat into the ground You kill them with a sound You’re talking too loud We’re talking too loud Sometimes I often wonder aloud Sometimes I wonder what it is That we haven’t even really found ‘Cause we’re talking too loud
6.
Vacant 05:11
The waking bell tolls on this town Beneath, the vacant streets In January And I meet the fleeting worry And the fear It calls my name To come inside again And again So here I stand At the crossroads With nothing on my feet There I am As you foretold With no one there to greet All I know is When we’re together The world seems so sincere When we’re together The pain just disappears So, cut me free from this tether And float through skies so blue So, can I stay here forever? Or will you leave me, too?
7.
Follow me down To where the vagrant city sleeps Past the corner store Where the vacant people and buildings collide I was on my way home From a thankless job In this thankless town I stopped in retort And I thought this life would Hold so much more So much more I’m getting tired of running And being nothing but scared So, I stopped to console A ghastly man With a ghastly name He met me with scorn The kind of scorn that knows no shame And he told me Son There’s only one thing on which to rely And if you’re searching for truth Just have somebody Tell you a lie Tell you a lie So, I’m no longer running And I’m not even scared ‘Cause I have come So far on my own On my own feet I’ll stand And find my way back To this fairytale When all this is said and done I will prevail And ride off In to the setting sun Where I belong ‘Cause I have come So far on my own On my own feet I’ll stand And find my way back To this fairytale When all this is said and done I will prevail And ride off Into my setting sun
8.
I’m leaving today, she said But not right away So, come back to bed Where we’ll stay All day And forget what has led us to this game We play And never say goodbye Again And never say goodbye Again If I’m leaving today Remember what we said That all this time we saved Would never go unspent And we saved up enough for both our lives To never be apart And when have to close our eyes It’ll only be a start Only a start I’m leaving today, he said Now that you’ve gone away I’ll lay down my head And I’ll find my way To where you say we’re heading In this grave we laid And never say goodbye Again We’ll never say goodbye Again
9.
Would you carry me through this perfect night? Oh Angeline I’m falling for you Would you follow me to the distant light? My heart skips a beat With the things that you do I’m not the kind of boy to speak my mind So, I’ll pick and choose When I lose my train of thought And stumble around Like a bumbling fool It’s just that I’m so in love With you Throw away all your guards that block me out I’ll drop the charade That I’m getting through Try to meet me somewhere in between Like a fly to your paper, I’m stuck to your glue You’re not the kind of girl To let her guard down So, I’ll pick and choose The sincerest of reproach To approach the way that my heart is true ‘Cause I’m so in love With you Would you me carry through this perfect night? Oh Angeline How I wish it were true Though my words are falling at your feet It’s the purest gesture I offer to you ‘Cause I’m so in love With you
10.
Lullaby 03:05
Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight All your dreams Will soon be here Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight Time will erase Your every tear All I really wanted Was all I couldn’t see All I really wanted Was you With me So, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight Soon you will awake And see it clear Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight In time You will erase your every fear All I really wanted Was all I couldn’t see All I really wanted Was you With me So, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight Here me softly singing In your ear Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, sleep tight My love for you Won’t disappear
11.
Suffering through Another wasted move The dust on the shelf is gathered Time to myself Time to myself I keep to myself Where did you find the time To sort through your life The boxes you’ve kept me around If I don’t make sound When I’m down Would you keep me around? Would you keep me around? Would you keep me around? And all at once It’s crashing down Am I awake in this dream? And through the dark I scream out loud Will you come around? Will you keep me around? Would you keep me around? Keep me around

about

“Well hello there. My name is Daryl and I like to write songs. Here’s a semi-mediocre recording from the Kite Flyer Society, music for your headphones. I hope you enjoy.” – Daryl Hiebert (May 2, 2006)

When a 27-year old aspiring singer/songwriter published those words on an obscure and now-defunct website 15 years ago, he seemingly never intended for anyone to actually hear the understated work of art he had created.

Written and recorded in backyard bastions and apartment emporiums across Canada, Daryl only shared the songs with a small circle of family and friends before deleting them from the internet forever. The master files were stored on a portable hard drive, stuffed in a box, and consigned to oblivion.

The years passed. Daryl met the love of his life, got married, and started a family. He carved out a career in the Manitoba music industry as a graphic designer. He rarely, if ever, spoke of the songs he himself had recorded all those years earlier.

And then, in late 2018, Daryl was diagnosed with a rare and inoperable form of cancer.

He died less than a year later, on September 29, 2019.

He is survived by his wife, Corrie, and three young daughters.

--

The songs Daryl recorded over 15 years ago were recently unearthed, and his family is humbly releasing them into the world for the very first time.

This is an album of music that is vulnerable, beautiful, and true. It's unashamedly and unapologetically imperfect; every minor flaw, errant note and subtle voice break is fully exposed. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and you can almost feel Daryl’s presence, sitting next to you, cozily residing somewhere inside your consciousness: the sound of a chair, creaking beneath his shifting weight; the sound of breath, gathering in his chest; the sound of a young man baring his soul, desperate for meaning.

It’s as if Daryl believed the intimacy of the recordings would not only help the listener better understand him -- the man he was, the man he longed to become -- but themselves: Their own journeys; their own search for peace, acceptance, and love; their own anthems of home.

This isn't music you put on at a party or mindlessly listen to while going about your day.

It's music that demands your full attention.

Music that is meant to be experienced.

Music for your headphones.
