1.	'80s Love (feat. King Protea) 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Baby I’m driving home and you call me Just left your house but you thought of something funny and you Had to tell me, couldn’t wait til the morning Neighborhood streetlights light up the rain And the sound of your voice plays just like the radiowaves Butterflies, you’re takin my breath away Makes me wanna call and dedicate a song Something that you’ll listen in your room all alone Knowin’ it’s enough just to know that I’m thinking of you You take me back in time and you make me hope Like wanting you to show up at my window And I know it’s impossible but you make me feel like we got 80’s love Hi-tops, mixtape, beers in the basement Take me to the diner And let me wear your letter jacket Going steady like we’re going out of style Pick me up in your trans am, dirty dancing at the drive-in You can be my Johnny if I can be your baby, baby But no Johnny ain’t got nothin on ya ‘Cause you make me wanna dance with you all night long To something that’ll make us feel all alone Knowin’ it’s enough just to know that I’m dancing with you You take me back in time and you make me hope Like wanting you to show up at my window And I know it’s impossible but you make me feel like we got 80’s love
2.	Up All Night (feat. Matthew Clanton) 02:20	lyrics	buy track
This feels too good to be real Pinch me, kiss me, and say we'll Be just like this forever Oh, I won't let go ever I'll stay up all night Scared to find out I was just dreaming of you I'll wait for the light To come back around To come back around Am I losing my mind? Did I just make you up inside my head? Really I'm lying to make up for my loneliness instead I'm trying to live here in this moment here with you Is it too good to be true? I'll stay up all night Scared to find out I was just dreaming of you I'll wait for the light To come back around To come back around I'll stay up all night Scared to find out I was just dreaming of you I'll wait for the light To come back around To come back around
3.	Mixtapes (feat. N 8 T V S) 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Waking up in the middle of the night Time's a shadow creeping over us Lost a minute but it seems like a life Where did everyone go? Keeping it together, holding on to the edge Without a second to lose Feeling like forever is just all in your head Can anybody hear you? Love songs don't fade So we put our hearts on mixtapes We can keep every moment all on cassette Making memories on a Memorex Share a kiss or take a shot in the dark No one's looking for anything Wild fires always start with a spark And they never die down slow We talking on the phone until we both fall asleep And waking up afternoon And feeling like forever is just a day of the week By Friday I'm in love with you Love songs don't fade So we put our hearts on mixtapes We can keep every moment all on cassette Making memories on a Memorex Looking for the perfect song to put at the end So we don't forget you and me Writing down forever in a permanent pen A final sunset symphony Love songs don't fade So we put our hearts on mixtapes We can keep every moment all on cassette Making memories on a Memorex Love songs don't fade So we put our hearts on mixtapes We can keep every moment all on cassette Making memories on a Memorex Making memories on a Memorex Love songs don't fade Making memories on a Memorex
4.	Moonrunner83 & Megan McDuffee - Phantom 05:08	lyrics	buy track
Silent as a grave, this house a shell. Once many lurid tales, secrets to tell. Now I walk down these vacant halls, trapped in my own mind. All resolve, gone away for good, You have come inside. On and on, though you’re gone. Your memory, chilling my skin. Not alone, but no one’s home. Your phantom, it pulls me in. Then what is real, and what are lies? Tell me I cannot trust my own two eyes. Such darkness, pervasive, seeps further, while the shadows creep. Every night I can feel you watch me when I sleep.
5.	Catch You If You Fall (feat. Astroleaf & Alex Kade) 03:27	lyrics	buy track
I know you’re struggling yeah, you’re barely holding on Cause what you carry has to weigh more than a ton If I could give you all my strength to carry through Just know that I would save my last breath just for you Through thick and thin, I’ll reel you in when you’re close to the edge When all the voices in your head fills your heart up with dread And I will catch you if you fall Oh I won't let you face these feelings all alone Yeah I will catch you if you fall I'll be your anchor if you're caught up in a storm I wish that I could tell you what the future holds But I have no idea what happens down the road It might seem hopeless now, but we will be okay I guess that this is just the price we have to pay Through thick and thin, I’ll reel you in when you’re close to the edge When all the voices in your head fills your heart up with dread And I will catch you if you fall Oh I won't let you face these feelings all alone Yeah I will catch you if you fall I'll be your anchor if you're caught up in a storm
6.	Rain On The Dancefloor (feat. Boy and Gurl & The Cynic Project) 03:56	lyrics	buy track
Rain on the dancefloor Rain on the dancefloor Standing under starry skies With you here by my side I feel my heart beating slowly It's like an endless night When our two hearts collide Don't ever let me go, hold me Letting go of everything That keeps pulling me What's all this worrying even for? Tonight its you and me Time to let it be The skies will open up and start to pour Baby Rain on me Rain on me Rain on the dancefloor I've been here before You leave me wanting more Rain on the dancefloor Hold me close tonight I'm lost in your eyes Rain on the dancefloor Rain on the dancefloor If I could pause the night Capture this feeling light A moment trapped in time eternity I want to take a chance Shadows of lost romance The clouds all fade to black and break on me Rain on the dancefloor I've been here before You leave me wanting more Rain on the dancefloor Hold me close tonight I'm lost in your eyes Rain on the dancefloor Rain on the dancefloor
7.	Player One (feat. Darrian Gerard) 03:37	lyrics	buy track
March right through the iron gates Nine to five to five to fate Bright wide eyes full of desire Crooked smiles and careful liars The grass looks green but they’ll say it’s fire Book of rules they sell to the buyer Shark-filled tanks that watch bystanders Live their lives to average standards And I wanna go And I wanna know So take your chance And do what you want Your life Your game You’re player one Listen here and listen loud Nine to five from here on out Silent games of rules to follow We don’t know if we’ll get tomorrow Ace of spades and four-leaf clovers 13th Friday and broken mirrors Make your luck or they’ll do it for you Overthrow the ones you turned to So take your chance And do what you want Your life Your game You’re player one No one’s right And no one’s wrong Your life It’s a game You’re player one Free your mind Choose what you desire Plead the fifth We all expire Play the game You’ve already won Say your name It’s just begun So take your chance And do what you want Your life Your game You’re player one No one’s right And no one’s wrong (Wrong) Your life It’s a game You’re player one (You’re player one) So take your chance And do what you want (Do what you want) Your life Your game You’re player one No one’s right And no one’s wrong Your life It’s a game You’re player one
8.	Lionhearted (feat. Astroleaf) 05:00	lyrics	buy track
Cold nights Sitting by the fireside Sharing stories that would haunt us all for life All the caves we explored And all the mysteries that we solved Oh every part of our being ached for more We were brave and reckless No one could ever take away our dreams I swear I've never felt more free Cause we were the lionhearted We would have songs written about us Our friendship always bound in history Yeah we were the lionhearted We would have songs written about us Our bliss and fortune sung in harmony Late nights Feeling stressed and sleep deprived I am caught up in my work, but it's fine Yeah we grew up fast Now we're busy and so detached I wish we could pick up where we left off in the past I used to paint a picture Of how our lives would be when we grew up I never thought we'd be this lost Cause we were the lionhearted We would have songs written about us Our friendship always bound in history Yeah we were the lionhearted We would have songs written about us Our bliss and fortune sung in harmony Cause we were the lionhearted We would have songs written about us Our friendship always bound in history Yeah we were the lionhearted We would have songs written about us Our bliss and fortune sung in harmony
9.	No Regrets (feat. Sarah Stephenson) 03:45	lyrics	buy track
I feel fire burning inside It’s light is alarming I cannot hide Will you come with me if I jump in the water? Will you follow me down from whatever comes from the under? Some people get this feeling that won’t go away Until move forward and climb that tree If you look down don’t feel all the troubles beneath you Just look to the stars and this wide open view Going to party all day going to find some money Going to make my own way just want to live and love Going to party all day going to find some money Going to make my own way living with no regrets Got drunk in the streets danced ‘til my feet were bruised I took a picture while you were eating and you never knew I lived on hope and found new dreams I wish that we could stay here forever If we get lost don’t lose your spirit If we get lost let’s give into the feeling If you look down don’t feel all the troubles beneath you Just look to the stars and this wide open view Going to party all day going to find some money Going to make my own way just want to live and love Going to party all day going to find some money Going to make my own way living with no regrets Going to party all day going to find some money Going to make my own way just want to live and love Going to party all day going to find some money Going to make my own way living with no regrets Going to party all day going to find some money Going to make my own way just want to live and love Going to party all day going to find some money Going to make my own way living with no regrets Going to party all day going to find some money Going to make my own way just want to live and love Going to party all day going to find some money Going to make my own way living with no regrets Going to find some money Just want to live and love Going to party all day Living with no regrets Will you jump in water? (Just want to live and love) With me (Will you come with me) With me Oh yeah, oh oh
10.	Glycerine 03:07	lyrics	buy track
It must be your skin, I'm sinking in It must be for real, cause now I can feel And I didn't mind, it's not my kind It's not my time, to wonder why Everything's white and everything's grey Now you're here, now you're away I don't want this, remember that I'll never forget, where you're at I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time Are you at one, or do you lie We live in a wheel, where everyone steals But when we rise, it's like strawberry fields I treated you bad, you bruise my face Couldn't love you more, you've got a beautiful taste I needed you more, we wanted us less Could not kiss, just regress It might just be clear, simple, and plain Well that's just fine, that's just one of my names Maybe you can run, maybe you can hide, you can't escape my love Maybe you can run, maybe you can hide, you can't escape my love Maybe you can run, maybe you can hide, you can't escape my love Maybe you can run, maybe you can hide, you can't escape my love Maybe you can run, maybe you can hide, you can't escape my love Maybe you can run, maybe you can hide, you can't escape my love Maybe you can run, maybe you can hide, you can't escape my love Maybe you can run, maybe you can hide, you can't escape my love
11.	High Rollers (feat. Sarah Stephenson) 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Don’t the skyline sparkle tonight Hold on whisper be careful when you walk Maybe it’s a bad time or a moment to soon Should the world around us be concerned with every move No I can’t say it how I’m doing With the nerves and breathes and I got so cold Well come on baby let’s get crazy I’m just praying you’re still holding on I’m hoping on high rollers I’m hoping on high rollers Give me hope give me life give me strength to shake it all out I’m hoping on high rollers I’m hoping on high rollers If we dance then we dance and we dance on the crystal floor And lately I’ve been sussing out this world All these monsters scare me like before What the hell am I doing am I fighting and losing? Could you give me a minute it’s hard to breathe with water in my throat I’m not saying we shouldn’t play it I just feel like we’re moving too slow Well come on baby let’s get crazy Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? I’m hoping on high rollers I’m hoping on high rollers Give me hope give me life give me strength to shake it all out I’m hoping on high rollers I’m hoping on high rollers If we dance then we dance and we dance on the crystal floor Maybe we could talk it out Maybe it’s the room You seem to find the bright side of me I see that I’m ready to finally tell you I’m hoping on high rollers I’m hoping on high rollers Give me hope give me life give me strength to shake it all out I’m hoping on high rollers I’m hoping on high rollers If we dance then we dance and we dance on the crystal floor I’m hoping on high rollers I’m hoping on high rollers Give me hope give me life give me strength to shake it all out I’m hoping on high rollers I’m hoping on high rollers If we dance then we dance and we dance on the crystal floor Hoping on high rollers (Hoping, hoping, hoping on high rollers) Hoping on high rollers (Hoping, hoping, hoping on high rollers) Hoping on high rollers (Hoping, hoping, hoping on high rollers) Hoping, hoping
12.	A Million Miles From Home 09:20	lyrics	buy track
Somewhere out there Lit by the stars in the sky A million fireflies Far from home now How does it feel to be unknown? A million miles from home A million miles from home How does it feel to be unknown? Lit by the stars in your eyes How does it feel? Oh, I am coming down your line A digital divide Together in our minds Oh, as the rain fall down No one around Except a simple sound Together in this town And you're out there On the other side of night It will be all right And I feel you Beating in the night all alone A million miles from home And you're out there On the other side of night It will be all right It will be all right I feel you Oh, through space and time What do you see? Can you find me? Oh, in this dusty town Is anyone around? Let the rains come down Oh, I am coming down your line A digital divide Together in our minds Oh, when the storm clouds break We can hide Together in our minds Forever in my mind All alone here Dancing in the streets Eleventh ave Just outside Victoria Park in the dark And you're all alone outside the bar And there's no one coming to take you far from here I know you Want me too I know you Want me too I know you Want me too I know you Want me too Somewhere out there Lit by the stars in the sky A million fireflies Far from home now How does it feel to be unknown? And you don't know why, you don't know why We can't be far from here I know you Want me too I know you Want me too I know you Want me too I know you Want me too Somewhere out there Lit by the stars in the sky A million fireflies A million fireflies
13.	The Change (feat. Sarah Stephenson and Alyag) 05:16	lyrics	buy track
Let me tell you a story It’s about someone that wanted to be a better person Goes out of their way to help others and maybe make a difference in this world Somewhere along the lines they got lost How did I get here I wasn’t always like this something shook me Now I stroll around looking at the streets for more Hoping things will get better I know who I am and need me I can’t let this take over Are you out there do you see what’s in the room who’s hiding in the dark How could I find the other side of me That was always hungry for a heart attack Pull the veil from my eyes In a place where I was falling I couldn’t see the signs They were silent and evolving out of nothing In the end we’re all the same broken pieces from the game A little more from what we came it’s the same Maybe I’m wrong who cares who’s right Well I’m beyond this tonight Rattle the bones and shake the cage I see the trouble page to page It’s not me it’s the change And without a word I feel every fear I feel it raging It’s not me it’s the change You said I’m not the same And the old me wants to stay In voice I hear the pain It’s not me it’s the change

about

There’s a place in Calgary, the Gem of the New West out on the Canadian prairies in the shadow of the illustrious Rockies. A street lit by the glow of neon lights. Wet pavement. The muted sounds of subwoofers coming from venues along the strip. During the ‘80s, 11th Avenue was Calgary’s nightlife hotspot. It’s where the nighthawks went to smoke cigarettes, listen to music, and to share drinks and subtle whispers with strangers in the dark. After the sun went down, on hot summer nights or during early winter evenings when frost encrusted the concrete, strangers and friends alike met to experience a beautiful afterglow after solemn sunsets in a city left behind by the rest of the world.

After the oil bust, 11th Avenue lost its luster. The nightlife was vanquished. The strangers disappeared into the shadows. The subwoofers were silenced. The neon signs were extinguished. And life moved on.

But 11th Avenue is slowly returning to its previous glory. It is known as Electric Avenue. And the sixth full-length studio record from Moonrunner83 pays homage to its story, its loneliness, and its power.

It's our story. Yours. Mine. Ours. The story of a city forgotten. A city crumbling. A city rebuilt. The epicenter of a magical and musical eventide. Its the electricity runs in our veins.

Join us…down on Electric Avenue.

This is a special band. Got to see these guys in concert and got to meet one of them casually at a small bar, and they are a talented, class act through-and-through. This is a joyous record with anthemic songs for those days when you need a lift. Timpy
