about

The debut full-length album, recorded at Vibewrangler Studio in Hamilton. Written and recorded over the winter months of 2008, continuing the band's tradition of great soul-infused rock 'n' roll.

"Look, it’s easy for a band to try to replicate the sounds we all grew up loving, but it’s hard as hell to pull it off and City and The Sea do that with ease."
- Herohill.com

"You know these songs; you’ve heard them before somewhere, but you haven’t really. They’re original but also strangely familiar. And that’s their beauty."
- American UK

Track Name: A Little Bit Of Soul
Baby, you’re just another face in the crowd
You don’t have to worry, baby
A little bit of soul is around

Your name…
Well it don’t mean nothing to me
I’m gonna have my way whether wrong or right

I keep walking in circles
Trying to find my way
I know I’m going nowhere
But that’s ok…

Cos I got you!

There’s a place…
Haven’t you ever been?
I see your face, and then stop…
And keep on running

Let’s get loud, with that loving sound
The good times are comin', baby
When a little bit of soul is around

I keep walking in circles
Trying to find my way
I know I’m going nowhere
But that’s ok…

Cos I got you!
Track Name: Some Revolution
When I think of all the things I’ve said and done
I know they’re wrong
But I keep on moving on

It’s been a long time coming
But it’s been coming for too long
I know it’s gonna get better before it’s gone

And it’s been a hard time thinking
Oh, the things you do for free
I know I’m just hanging out on the breeze
So come along, I don’t need to bow to anyone…

I’m gonna head down to New Orleans
Gonna get out of this dead end scene
This old town ain’t what it seems
Everyone’s waiting for some revolution…

You gotta take some time to think it over
I’ve been living my life in technicolor
And I must be leaving…

I want to feel that country rain
The feeling up here just ain’t the same
In the early evening…
And I don’t need to bow to anyone…

I’m gonna head down to New Orleans
Gonna get out of this dead end scene
This old town ain’t what it seems
Everyone’s waiting for some revolution…
Track Name: Sailing On The Ocean
Woman, can you hear me?
Cos I’ve been singing to you every night
You may think that there’s no future
But my future never looked that bright

And it’s too late to turn back now
Cos I’ve been drifting all around for days
It don’t matter where you turn or where you’re going to
Cos darling I was born to follow you

You can run into the setting sun
Loving you is just a point of view…

And I’ve been sailing on the ocean, babe
Ever since you left me

Woman, can you see me?
Cos I’ve been waving my hands in the air
I don’t know you are or where you’re coming from
But I know that you can take me there

Oh, you’ve been so good to me, baby
That I just can’t get enough of your love
Oh, don’t you go and take me granted
Cos I know that you can’t get enough

You can run into the setting sun
Loving you is just a point of view…

And I’ve been sailing on the ocean, babe
Ever since you left me

Woman, yeah woman
You've gotta stand on your own two feet
I don’t wanna stand close to you
But you bring me to my knees

And I’ve been sailing on the ocean, babe
Ever since you left me
Track Name: I Tried So Hard
You tell me that you love me
I know that you won’t lie
But you don’t see my baby
You don’t see me cry

I thought I had it all lately
But now I know I’m wrong
You could have it all
But you keep me hanging on

And I said oh, baby I don’t want to go
Cos I tried so hard, baby
But I just can’t keep from leaving you…

Tell me, can you see the lines on my face
I’ve been waiting so long that I’m counting the days
So tell me darling, tell me what you think I should do
Cos I tried so hard, baby
But I just can’t keep from leaving you…
Track Name: Bad News Blues
Give me one reason to turn back around
I loved you girl but you let me down
I don’t remember ever feeling so fine
But then pretty girl you went and crossed the line

Oh baby, give me some of that bad news
Cos it ain’t no lie
Girl you hung me out to dry

Go on and take all the things you need
Cos you know they mean nothing to me
Go on pretending that it’s better this way
But don’t come a-knockin’, I got nothing to say

Oh yeah, I’ve given all my love to you
But I didn’t see what you could do
Sometimes I swear I was born to lose
But I’d rather lose then spend one more night with you

Give me one reason to turn back around
I loved you girl but you let me down
I don’t remember ever feeling so fine
But then pretty girl you went and crossed the line

Oh baby, give me some of that bad news
Cos it ain’t no lie
Girl you hung me out to dry

Oh yeah, I’ve given all my love to you
But I didn’t see what you could do
Sometimes I swear I was born to lose
But I’d rather lose then spend one more night with you
Track Name: Shoop (A Loving Sound)
How many times should I stand at your door?
I’m tired of waiting; no more
So I’ll be going back on home

Katie once said, I’ll be home in October
But she’s still leaving, out my door
So I’ll be running right on home

And I sing shoop
It’s a loving sound
Shoop
It’s a loving sound

How many times should I stand at your door?
I’m tired of waiting, so no more
And I’ll be running right on home

And I sing shoop
It’s a loving sound
Shoop
It’s a loving sound
Track Name: All Eyes
Go ahead and stop me if you’ve heard this one before
Cos we all know it’s all been said and done
I could try and break a smile but I know that it’s no good
Cos in the end I’ll be the lonely one

Go ahead and stop me if you’ve heard this one before
Cos we all know it’s all been said and done
I could try and break a smile but I know that it’s no good
Cos in the end I’ll be the lonely one
I was thinking I’d go and I’d get a little sleep
But I just can’t help it darlin, you’re the one I need

Oh but I am aching as the hours turn into days
And I don’t want to leave you, babe
But something’s got to break

Cos it’s true…
They can’t take their eyes off of you

Go ahead and put out all the fires in my mind
Cos we all know it’s all been said and done
I won’t try to love you if you leave it all behind
Cos in the end I’ll be the lonely one

Oh but I am aching as the hours turn into days
And I don’t want to leave you, babe
But something’s got to break

Cos it’s true…
They can’t take their eyes off of you
