about

Ian Van der Wee wrote this song about a time in his life when things weren't processing well. Get help if these lyrics seem too familiar.

lyrics

Riders make their travels by night
Guided by the stars in the sky
Battered by the rains from on high
The righteous won't be denied
They take their fiery steeds out into the night.

Two by two they pass by your door,
you've seen them once before
afraid they'd come back for more.
Shadows dance upon your floor.
Sounds of your world pulled away by a knock upon the door.

Clouds surround me all are shades of gray
Circling as I start to fade a way

Help me I'm not feeling alright
Help me I'm not ready to fight
Help me I'm not seeing cleary
Help me voices talking to me
Help me I can't feel my fingers
Help me my feet are sinking
Help me, Help me, Help me, Help me, Help me
I'm too scared to know just what my mind is thinking.

Riders setting fire to the street
You're drowning in the heat
Flames licking your feet
Trapped above a fiery sea
Laughter chills your bones as you fight to get free

Two by two they fade back in the night
a loud and angry flight
Long after they're out of sight
you still won't close your eyes!
Haunted by the gaze that made you die.

Clouds surround me all are shades of gray
Circling as I start to fade a way

Help me I'm not feeling alright
Help me I'm not ready to fight
Help me I'm not seeing cleary
Help me voices talking to me
Help me I can't feel my fingers
Help me my feet are sinking
Help me, I'm too scared to know just what my mind is thinking.

Help me I'm not feeling alright
Help me I'm not ready to fight
Help me I'm not seeing clearly
Help me voices talking to me
Help me I can't feel my fingers
Help me my feet are sinking
Help me, Help me, Help me
I'm too scared to know just what the dark is bringing.

Delirium Street Party Brass image

Delirium Street Party Brass Calgary, Alberta

Delirium Street Party Brass is a ground breaking brass band from Calgary. Originally, the band was inspired by mashing the instrumentation of New Orleans street bands such as the Soul Rebels with the vibe of Los Angeles 80's ska music including No Doubt, using clever horn arrangements (tuba, two saxophones, trumpet, trombone) to maintain the pop/rock sound without using guitars or keyboards. ... more
