I tell anyone who will listen how amazing Leif is and I recommend his music constantly on social media accounts asking about fav music picks. He defines what I mean when I talk about how music can feel like magic. Quite sure I am responsible for at least half of the streams on spotify of this song. ❤
Big dreams they move slowly Like a fog across the plains A dream where I’m riding horses And you’re on my mind again
Maybe I was born to wander You took me a while to find You know I still get shivers When your voice rubs up on mine Do you know who you are?
Are you my friend or lover? Perhaps it can’t be defined I know I can’t take you with me You’re a map with no folding lines
And I climb that Northwest Passage I look the master in the eye When I’m confused, confounded I search for you in the sky Do you know who you are?
Faith in the morning after Wait for the time to come Say, when love don’t come easy Just know who you are Baby, you’re my southern star
Come out of the shapeless stardust The rafters they shake for you They’re clamouring for a song now The lights are blonde and blue
Hey, it’s just a chain reaction Relinquish your perceived control Float down that mighty river Sweet mother with the angel soul Do you know who you are?
Faith in the morning after Wait for the time to come Say, when love don’t come easy Just know who you are Baby, you’re my southern star Beautiful lyrics that go so well with Leif's soothing melodies.
I dont know how many times i listened to Leifs whole discography in a loop! Never getting tired of it, cause his style is so unique and emotional. Now im so thrilled for the new album adding new songs to it! Moondog and Southern Star sound familiar and also new to me. Thank you so much Leif for being my musical sun, moon and starlight that guides me through most of my days.
Seriously, I know he's kind of well known now but I think after this album comes out... hes gonna be one of the big stars. Really reminds me of a Leonard Cohen
We have always loved Leif. Saw him at Levon Helms studio in Woodstock New York a couple of years ago. I could cry thinking how amazing he and his band were!
You are my go to music man when I just need to chill and let all the stresses of the world fall away. Thank you for your gift. Please come ‘down under’ sometime to see the ‘southern star’ in Oz where you can experience the ‘southern cross’ and the ‘Milky Way’ in the vast outback and be inspired to write more songs like this. Guitar, campfire, remoteness, what more do you need?
Leif, you’re going to go far and you deserve every bit of it. Grateful to be a fan along for the ride. My playlists are once again blessed by you, my friend.
Leif, I've been following you for a while and you just released this at the exact moment I needed this. You have no idea how much you are helping me right now. The lyrics are perfection. Thank you. Your artistry is beautiful 💜
What an incredible song, and love Angie's BVs. Great opportunity at Edmonton Folk Fest to play this together! Really looking forward to this new album, the first two songs are brilliant.
I dont know if you ever read your comments leif, but I love the influences of 00000 million. Maybe I cant help but take you with me, after all you are my southern star

Without doubt the best song of the year. The space created in the song is just pure perfection.
Big dreams they move slowly
Like a fog across the plains
A dream where I’m riding horses
And you’re on my mind again
Maybe I was born to wander
You took me a while to find
You know I still get shivers
When your voice rubs up on mine
Do you know who you are?
Are you my friend or lover?
Perhaps it can’t be defined
I know I can’t take you with me

Weird I was thinking the same thing about Leonard Cohen!!
Marc cohen do you mean
Aroura has mentioned him as one of her favorite contemporary artists.
Love the lapsteel in this song

I was at that show too!
Very jealous! Is any of that show posted here?

Cant stop listening to this song. The most beautyful composition since years in my collection. Perfect.
This guy is on one hell of a roll! A puts on an incredible live show too so go see him if you get the chance!
