about

Building Skyscrapers - Please Head North

A cover of Please Head North by Transit, recorded at the beginning of 2019.

Hearing of Tim Landers' passing earlier this year hit me hard. I did not know him, but his music had a profound impact on my life, and I wanted to pay tribute in the only way I knew how.

I realize that I can only hope to come anywhere close to doing him justice with this cover, but I wanted to share just the same. I hope you enjoy it.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

Tim Landers Forever.

lyrics

After tonight I just can't be alone
I'm driving home beneath the stoplights
They're holding me in suspense
But that's just the way it is I guess
For those of us who move too fast
And I wish that I could say
That I'm wishing you the best
But I can't, but I can't

So I'll write it out on paper to remember every word
For all the things I've lost and found inside of every verse
These are my directions to you:
Please, head north

Voices scream inside of me
Well, "Maybe I'm just cursed."
Just like they say, maybe I'm just cursed
I'm always hoping for the best
Maybe I'm just cursed
I'm always hoping for the best
Preparing for the worst

So please, head north

Maybe I was right, maybe I was wrong
I just can't write another one of these summer songs
Oh please not another sad, sad song
You'll find me hanging on every word

It kills you to know that this world, it owes you nothing
So just forget what you're expecting
You'll find half what you deserve
