    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Please note that the quality of the downloaded music will be much higher than the streaming audio quality that you hear on this preview. The tracks have been loudness normalized to -16.5 dB LUFS.

I know I'm playing with the hand of fate And what I say will be too little too late After all the heartache and the pain Before you go I've got some things to say Did I fall in love that day? Do I wish that you would stay? Well I did and I do I will always love you Every day of my life I will always be true Then and now, now and then And tomorrow too I did, I will, and I do I won't pretend that things are black or white There is no simple way to make it right Still I keep wishing you were here at night In spite of all the silence and the fights Did I fall in love that day? Do I wish that you would stay? Well I did and I do I will always love you Every day of my life I will always be true Then and now, now and then And tomorrow too I did, I will, and I do I don't want to be a saint and make every hurt all better And I can't be superwoman just to keep it all together I can't change what's done and over Baby I don't want to know her name There is a time to stay and time to go My head is fast but my heart changes slow Most of all I had to let you know There's no regret, it's just a letting go Did I fall in love that day? Do I wish that you would stay? And will I still feel that way? Or do I have the strength to make my own way? Well I did and I do I will always love you Every day of my life I will always be true Then and now, now and then And tomorrow too I did, I will Oh I did and I do I will always love you Every day of my life I will always be true Then and now, now and then And tomorrow too I did, I will, and I do © copyright 2009 by Catherine Bacque (SOCAN)

Fly 03:17
You say you sometimes long for another place When all you need is right here I hold you close to me in the falling dark And close my eyes against the tears I say I hope you find what you're looking for But what I hope you find is me And I can't deny when I turn away I'm not as strong as I pretend to be Oh oh oh I want to laugh I want to cry I want to play and dance and sing I want to fly I truly hope you find what you're looking for Still what I hope you find is me But there's no denying when I go away I'm not as strong as I pretend to be Oh oh oh Oh oh oh I'm gonna laugh I'm gonna cry I'm gonna play and dance and sing I'm gonna fly © copyright 2009 by Catherine Bacque (SOCAN)

With You 03:15
Stop at your door, stare at the floor Fear rushes in, on the threshold again Then I see your face, all my doubts slip away One soft touch one sweet kiss, was I meant to feel like this With you, with you Hang up the phone, we're both alone It's so hard playing tough, holding back takes so much Still I'm laughing out loud, all alone in a crowd At the things that you say, it just makes me feel that way With you, with you What am I doing here? Who's that girl in the mirror? She sure looks a lot like me Reaching out to touch her face Another time, another place I used to be so free With you, with you I see your eyes in the stars in the sky I reach out, touching you, hoping you feel it too Every touch of my dress is your hand, a caress You are here next to me, all I want is to be With you, with you What am I doing here? Who's that girl in the mirror? She sure looks a lot like me Reaching out to touch my face In this time, in this place I can just be me With you, with you With you © copyright 2009 by Catherine Bacque (SOCAN)

Say that you want me Not that you need me Show me you love me Tell me you will be mine tonight I’ve been giving all I got today Always finding just the right words to say It’s time to let the world just slip away No doubts, no fears, no pain, no tears Say that you want me Not that you need me Show me you love me Tell me you will be mine tonight Whisper your fears Laugh through your tears Dream in my ear Just let your spirit shine, it’s so fine We have both been down this road before Getting what you need makes you want more We’re stepping into love’s revolving door In dreams or pain, in sun and rain Chorus Baby it’s time to go the distance Giving it all or nothing Whatever we do But I want to take a hold of this chance It’s real and true, for me, for you Say that you want me Not that you need me Show me you love me Tell me you will be mine tonight Dance to your heartbeat Set all your dreams free Come on and kiss me Love found us just in time, you're so fine In dreams or pain, in sun and rain Oh show me, won’t you tell me Say that you want me Not that you need me Show me you love me Tell me you will be mine No fears, no pain No fears Oh show me no fear No fear…oh no fear © copyright 2009 by Catherine Bacque (SOCAN)

Because you fall I will catch you Because you cry I will soothe you Because you go I will wait for you Because you're scared I won't tease you 'Cause baby it's so hard to please you Because you're lonely I will hold you Whenever you call me, wherever you are Whatever the problem that troubles your heart Wherever you run to, whatever the time Whoever has hurt you, you're still mine. Because you laugh while you're weeping Because you talk when you're sleeping Because you need me like I need you Because you ask me to help you Because you don't really want me to Because you're mine I will still love you Whenever you call me, wherever you are Whatever the problem that troubles your heart Wherever you run to, whatever the time Whoever has hurt you, you're still mine. However you choose to, whatever you do Whenever you miss me, when I miss you Wherever life leads us, whatever we find Whenever you need me, you're still mine You're still mine © copyright 2009 by Catherine Bacque (SOCAN)

about

Suburban country from Catherine Bacque. Each of the EP's five songs spotlights a different facet of Catherine's songwriting talent.

Kicking off with I Did, I Will, I Do, she hits high gear right away with a brash, no-nonsense anthem introduced by her memorable acoustic guitar figures and featuring Tim Bovaconti's Telecaster in a take-no-prisoners appeal to the power of love.

In the second cut, Fly, we hear in Catherine's voice and lyrics the triumph of a survivor of the fickle fates of love. Virtuoso bassist Alain Caron underscores Catherine with his 6-string fretless bass in a riveting melodic duet.

Next, With You traces the longing and second thoughts of a new love affair.

On Say That You Want Me, Catherine is joined by Bob Taillefer on pedal steel. The song rocks out on the power of love with no strings attached.

The EP wraps up with You're Still Mine, a song of steadfastness and faithfulness in the face of life's struggles and shortcomings, aimed as much at your children as your lover.

Letting Go is 100 per cent Canadian content.

“I think that what I have going for me is that I’m a cultural sponge,” says Catherine, referring to her experiences in music & teaching. “I am constantly surprised and flattered by how much my students like my music, given the streaming universe we live in. Working with young people keeps me in touch with what they are interested in and listening to, and I’m always finding new music that I love." ... more
