In the dust, in the light, could it be, is it you? Coming back from the dead, thought you had already turned into something far from the man that I once knew. It might just be dust and light but, I feel your power, like power lines from my amplifier. It might just be dust and light. I’ll take what I can get. Do you believe in reincarnation? Thick as thieves with your ghost. I think it’s time I let you go. Is it only dust in the light? Is it only in your mind? But I feel your power, like power lines from my amplifier. It might just be dust and light.

You wore it out. You wore it down. There’s no time to talk now. You wore it out. You wore it down. And I am sorry for nothing. There’s nothing I can do now. You wore it out you wore it down. At 59 it gave out. One at a time, you wore it out. And I am sorry for nothing. There’s nothing I can do now. One at a time it breaks down. No one knew you were going down. Like a swallow. Like a pill, goes down inside. And I wish there was something I could do now. There’s no ashes. There’s no grave. And they didn’t know your mothers name.

Who 03:34
Take a turn at being wrong, make it right. One more day gone, we can’t wait forever. Who are we becoming? I was raised upon a song, bad religion, television, in the the morning she was gone, eighteen, leave the records behind. Who are we becoming? Telling white lies. It’s the first of nine lives. Ethereal rabbit hole, one morning you’ll find old and grey, it was there all the time, twinkling in your eyes. Who are we becoming?

I’m just one woman out in the storm. I’ll take you in, if you promise to hold on to me. I’m out of love, but I’m not giving in. Divided but, why we don’t know. Don’t mind it, don’t fight it. That’s just the way it goes. Don’t give up on me. Never again, would I have to apologize for hurting you. I’m just one woman out in the storm. I’ll take you in, if you promise to hold on to me. I'm out of luck but I'm not giving in. I’m just one woman out chasing destiny, shaking hands, believing endlessly.

One More 03:25
Been doing the laundry every couple of weeks for ten years and change, now it’s gonna be every week. Rearrange the apartment, it’s been done before but this time it’s for you and me and one more. Maybe they’ll be a dancer or have a smile like me, maybe they’ll have your hair or my teeth. We never knew that we would be able or ready. Been trading my late nights at the bar for all of the late nights with my guitar. I’ll write the songs for you and I to sing. They’ll be a songbird, there’s not a shadow of a doubt in me. We never knew that we would be able or ready. As long as we shall live it’s been said before but now it’s for you and me and one more

Decade 03:49
You were my sword in the stone. I picked you like a rose with no thorns, sterlings. Silver rings take me back to the place where we first met. You held me in the dark. You let me fall apart inside of you, crawl inside and make a home. I’ll never go, unless you ask me to. Decay in these walls and these pages. Decade of all our faults and phases; like the moon, cycles through me and you. Can you find me a little patience. I wear your name in my skin. I wear your oldest shirts like armor; Jim’s diner, that smile, Denton, Texas, where your parents met. When I feel like the outsider, it reminds me that I’m inside you. Place to be, this must be.

tied to you like a daisy chain, fragile like the stems weaving, it's okay you can stay as far away as you like, you can stay as you like

about

Who are we becoming? As we adapt to all that life asks us to, with some luck we remain hopeful. Between global pandemic, having a child and uprooting to Texas after nearly two decades of living in Seattle, I found myself in desperate need of openness to transform. I welcome you all into my circle as I play a few songs on this new record, yes it does have loneliness and it is completely different than any other Temple Canyon record you’ve heard. So I hope you will listen to it with open heart and fearlessness. I found sitting down in my living room with two mics and one very patient engineer produced something wonderful. We did shut the back door as not to capture the neighbors dogs barkin’ but the essence of spring breezes and Texas sunshine do set the stage for this sound experience. I hope when you hear these recordings you feel like you're sitting round a campfire with me taking in a beautiful night sky. Or maybe they will take you back to a special open mic performance you caught. Whatever it is I hope you enjoy these bare bones versions of my songs and that they find a place in your headphones and in your car and that you will Come Into The Circle and sing with me.

about

Temple Canyon Seattle, Washington

Nostalgic rocky canyon magic now brewing in Austin, TX Psychedelic folk rock reminiscent of the variety coexisting in Laurel Canyon's hay day. Rainy rock - grunge vibes - of the PNW washing over the fiery and sunshiny California coastal influence Mariko Ruhle, lead singer and songwriter was raised on. A rapturous transference of memories and hallucinations through sound. ... more
