about

This song was inspired from working a full winter in the wilderness surrounding Yellowknife, NWT Canada. The Far North is truly a magnetic and magical place. And oh, those skies...

lyrics

Sittin on my cabin stair, breathin cool clean
Feet planted in soft snow, under Orion's glow
I look up high, to where the Raven flies
A silent green, dances before my eyes

Under the Northern Sky
Under the Northern Sky

Snowshoeing late at night, guided by starlight
A fire going to keep us warm, at minus 45 you feel reborn
The moon beats down, on the snow all around
We see just fine, we don't need flashlights

Under the Northern Sky
Under the Northern Sky

A quiet cat stalks the land, tracks take me by the hand
Past steep cliffs and through the old growth, over frozen lakes and through deep dry snow
A new day's end, comes at 3PM, the sky ablaze,
Oh these Winter days....

Under the Northern Sky
Under the Northern Sky

about

Adam Ruzzo

My original music springs from my experiences roaming Canada; stories of folks who live unapologetically, a simple and rewarding life; living on the edge, from the North West Territories, to Newfoundland. I find inspiration in the wild landscapes of Canada, including Algonquin Park and through my original compositions, try to convey musically the awe inspiring beauty so evocative of these places. ... more
