12) Where the Mountain Meets the ValleyDo Not Let Me Go
There are moments in this life when you can’t fake it.
There are moments I would walk another road.
There was something in the broken way you said it
Singing, “Please, oh God, do not let me go.”From the moment I was born I have been dying.
Yeah, we walk along towards the great unknown.
Is it love if I have given up on trying?
Singing, “Oh my God, don’t leave me alone.”
Singing, “Please, oh God, do not let me go.”
Oh, Oh, Oh
If you’re up there could you lift my heavy burden?
‘Cause I cannot seem to make this on my own.
Though I’m not sure you can hear me I’m still begging.
Singing, “Oh my god, don’t leave me alone.”
Singing, “Please, oh God, do not let me go.”
(back to top)Hallelujah
Love break me down
Pick me up off the ground,
Oh, let me out from where I have gone.
Unlock my heart
I don’t know where to start
Love break me down, and take me back home.
Look at the clouds
As the rain falls down
Oh, wash away my sorrow and pain.And now I can see
The lost look a lot like me
From dust I was born, and dust I shall be.Hallelujah
HallelujahHallelujah
Hallelujah
All that I’ve done
(back to top)
All that I should have done
All I’ve become, and all I should be.
Well, I’ll let you down
I’ve not quite figured out
What I will say, when death’s at my door.
But, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You were not there on my loneliest day.
And I don’t understand now, why it happens that way.
But, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
HallelujahWhat Have I Done?
I have surrendered my hopes, my dreams.
For all of these things, they are yours.
Whatever they bring, they are yours.
I don’t remember what it was like
to look in your eyes, and feel loved.
To feel no surprise for it was enough.
What have I done? What have I done?
What have I done? What have I done?
Oh…Oh…
And I have surrendered my hopes, my dreams.
And all of these things, they are yours.
Whatever they bring, they are yours.
But what have I done? What have I done?
What have I done? What have I done?
Oh…
Oh…
(back to top)Oh my love I hold you near.
If only I was unafraid of all my fear.
I wish I did not have to go
But I’ve already compromised more than you know.
When the taste of love has gone stale.
What you’re dreaming of, you wont tell.
And if you’ll soon be gone, then I’ll wish you well.
I wish you well.
Oh my heart it’s still the same.
Yeah, a little older now, but it won’t change.
There is love left in me stillThough I may not feel it now, someday I will.
But it seemed so real to me then.
Now it’s gone, it has faded again.For the love you scorn, there will be an end.
(back to top)
Here it comes again.Time alone can’t save you, if that’s what you’re waiting for.
It’s the end of all your battles as you’re walking out the door.
And you wear that face so bravely and gather up your clothes
And you say you have to go.And you say you have to go.
Time alone can waste you, if it’s where you place your hope
With all my uphill struggles, how long could you cope?
And you wear that face so bravely and stand out in the rain
But honey, I take all the blame.
Honey, I take all the blame.
Time, they say, can heal you. Though, that’s harder to believe
When you meet the broken hearted and see what it meant to leave.
And with all my misconceptions of what it takes to changeI guess I’ll end up just the same.
I guess I’ll end up just the same.
The Mountain
It’s funny now you’ve gone
All the words have come.But if I reach the end,
before I’m doneMay I be the only one
To watch it in the wind,
What may be and what has been.
For though the rain will fall
Down upon us all,The sun will come again.
From the mountaintop
(back to top)
Where my sorrow always stops
I will see you there,
To let go of your cares
Carried off in the raindrops.
Oh, Darlin, it’s been so long.
Throw on your old self, cause I’ve seen what’s going on.
Oh, Darlin, what are you dreaming of?
Well, I was much younger then and you were in love.And I said oh, oh, oh, I wish I was.
I cried, oh, oh, oh, I wish I was.Time keeps on changing, you lose those you love.
Hearts keep on breaking, with the memories of
the pain of tomorrow that you don’t know yet.The lonesome forgotten people you’ve met.
They say oh, oh, oh, I wish I was.They cry oh, oh, oh, I wish I was.
You said, oh, oh, oh, I wish I was.
You said, oh, oh, oh, I wish I was.
I wish I was.
I cried, oh, oh, oh, I wish I was.First Light
Am I not what you want?
Then who should I be,If I’m not what you want?
Is there more inside?
Or does what meets the eye, say it all?
Who should I be?
Who should I be?
Who should I be?
At the first light of dawn, I’ll say goodbye.
It’s not right it’s not wrong, so then should I
have known all along?
Well if it matters I tried.Who should I be?
Who should I be?Who should I be?
(back to top)
At the first light of dawn, I’ll say goodbye
It’s not right it’s not wrong, so then should I
Have known all along?
Well if it matters I tried.
If it matters I tried.
Nowhere Left To Go
So never say it’s unfair
confidence is not there
For everything I know is everything I’ve sown.
Father give me freedom, providence and wisdom
For when I am alone, when I am alone.
I guess you caught me dreaming,
Though all of your deceiving
Was water to my soul, underneath it allI’ve never really known how all of this would work out
With nowhere left to go, nowhere left to go.
So where am I meant to wander now?
If you were there then you’ve left without a sound
and I was lost, I’m not sure I was ever foundBy you.
So never say it’s unfair
confidence is not there
For everything I know is everything I’ve sown.Father give me freedom, providence and wisdom
for when I am alone, when I am alone.So where am I meant to wander now?
(back to top)
If you were there then you’ve left without a sound.
And I was lost, I’m not sure I was ever found
By you.
So where am I meant to wander now?
If you were there then you’ve left without a sound.
And I was lost, I’m not sure I was ever found
By you
By you.
Twas in another lifetime one of toil and blood
when blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mudI came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
“Come in” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
“Come in” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
(back to top)
I’ll always do my best for you on that I give my word
In a world of steal-eyed death and men fighting to be warm
“Come in” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
“Come in” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved
Everything up until that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place that is always safe and warm
“Come in” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
“Come in” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
“Come in, I will give you shelter from the storm.”
You have come along,
Provided thus far for yourself a song
That will guide you in health.You don’t know this heartbreaking hell
That I know, but I promise you will.
You have strung along
Your thoughts on the side.
You have laid awake at night
And you’ve cried, “It’s not fair.”
But then tell me, what is?
If he’s there, well then why’s there all this?
Have you heard what they are calling you now?
Have you seen all the unsaid and somehow
Should I stand up for a God I can’t feel with my hands
If I long for what’s real?
And if we could see
The deeds that we’ve done
We would stand ashamed
And know we’ve not won.
Who are we to expect any more, when we lie
And then walk out the door?
Have you heard what they are calling you now?
Have you seen all the unsaid and somehow
Should I stand up for a God I can’t feel
With my hands if I long for what’s real?
Have you heard what they are calling you now?Have you seen all the unsaid and somehow
Should I stand up for a God I can’t feel
With my hands if I long for what’s real?Where The Mountain Meets The Valley
Where the mountain meets the valley
Where the river meets the sea, I will run.
Where the fields begin to flower
As the rain waters the seeds, I will run.
Time is not your friend, you will see.
For all that’s young shall end, eventually.When the winter rains are falling
And the riverbeds will swell, I will run
And when all that you have hoped for
And all that you have loved, comes undone.
When faith in what you see is not enough.
Don’t say that you believe, but do not love.
When faith in what you see is not enough.
Don’t say that you believe, but do not love
When faith in what you see is not enough.
Don’t say that you believe, but do not love.Don’t say you believe, but do not love.
Don’t say you believe, but do not love.

Cold Wind EP
Tracklisting:
1) Cold Wind
2) Little Sparrow
3) Nowhere Left To Go
4) Who Am I?
5) We Have Seen
6) If I Was A Better Man
Cold Wind
Everything that I have said
There are moments I regret
In your time of hope and hollowness, don't give up yet.
Everything that I have known
All the nights spent on my own
If I get this wrong and off you go, then I am alone.
But when that cold wind comes
If all you do is undone,
And you don't understand
I will wait for you.
When I don't know what to do
When I'm searching for the truth
And we don't talk as much as we used to, I miss you
But when that cold wind comes
If all you do is undone
And you don't understand
I will wait for you.
(back to top)
Little Sparrow
Little sparrow sing your song
All day long.
Through the summer and the fall
When winter calls,
Who will write down what you sing
When the winter turns to spring?
Who will cast the first stone at me for what I've done
To the least of these?
Little robin rest your head
The sun is dead.
From the shelter of your tree
May you be
Safe and warm when you are cold.
Through the night your story's told
To the lost and the lonely of souls who search for love
But still grow old.
And who will write down what you sing
When the winter turns to spring?
Who will cast the first stone at me for what I've done
To the least of these?
(back to top)
Nowhere Left To Go
So never say it's unfair
That confidence is not there
For everything I know, is everything I’ve sown
Father give me freedom,
Providence and wisdom
For when I am alone, when I am alone
I guess you caught me dreaming
Though all of your deceiving
Was water to my soul, underneath it all
I've never really known how
All of this would work out
With nowhere left to go
Nowhere left to go
So where, am I meant to wander now?
If you were there then you've left without a sound
And I was lost I'm not sure I was ever found
By you
So never say it's unfair
That confidence is not there
For everything I know is everything I’ve sown
Father give me freedom, providence and wisdom
When I am alone, when I am alone

"Leave it to a Canadian to come up with one of the year's most impressive Americana debuts...a 15-track gem of an album that almost certainly will appeal to those who enjoy the music of Damien Rice, Ryan Adams and Iron & Wine...stellar tunes...highly recommend" Jeffrey Sisk, The Daily News (McKeesport, PA)Joshua Hyslop has got to be one of the most genuine songwriters I’ve heard in a long while.Shelley Gummeson, EarshotVancouver singer-songwriter Joshua Hyslop’s full-length debut resonates with the words of a man who has seen death’s door and come back to tell the tale. Francois Marchand, Vancouver Sun"Abbotsford’s own Joshua Hyslop is an instantly likable singer-songwriter with a gift for intimacy and almost ghostly mood-making." - Ken Eisner, Straight.comAny fan of folk-pop is sure to be pleased with the elegantly crafted album offered by Joshua Hyslop. With a seemingly endless supply of inspiration at his fingertips, Hyslop has the tools he needs to take the music world by storm. Josh Fumo , EastSceneIf I could only use one word to describe Joshua Hyslop’s music, the word would undoubtedly be “soothing.” Hyslop’s breathy vocals are unique and have the uncanny ability to make almost anything he sings sound really, really sad. Michael Thomas, Grayowl Point"Where the Mountain Meets the Valley" is the first full length release from Joshua Hyslop. Right away it's as though he carried the energy that ended off his first album and carried it through this one. YourMusicNewsWhere the Mountain Meets the Valley is finally here and it does not disappoint. Hyslop’s deep, introspective lyrics accompanied by gently strummed acoustic guitar and banjo, play out over twelve gorgeous tracks of soul-searching, faith, and doubt. The past year has brought all kinds of new ups and downs, and this album is his attempt to make some sense out of it all.

I can’t believe I’m already home! I spent the month of March driving around Ontario with my friend Tyler, playing shows in people’s homes. I really had no idea what to expect. The concept of driving over and meeting the hosts in their homes, having dinner with them, and then sleeping over looked good on paper. But when we arrived at the first house, before knocking on the door, the fact that we’d never met these people began to set in. What if they were crazy? What if it was just one old lady with way too many cats? What if they made us wear wigs and locked us in the basement? Several similar thoughts flew through my mind as I knocked on the door. But, to my delight and relief, the door opened to reveal the most warm-hearted and welcoming family.
Each time we arrived at a hosts home, the same anxieties would begin to crop up in the back of my mind. “You don’t know these people!” “They’re going to film you sleeping!” “Too many cats!”. But every single time, within seconds of meeting each family, my mind was put at ease. These people truly, and quickly, became friends. Every time. We seem to have adopted the belief that all strangers are dangerous and that we can’t trust our neighbors. But after playing these shows and meeting these different families (and many of their friends), I’m not so sure of that anymore.
I was continually surprised and humbled by everyones hospitality, their warmth and their willingness to have us over. I plan on doing this type of touring a lot more in the future and, who knows, there might be a few crazies here and there, but for this trip I had the most incredible time and I loved every minute of it. All of you, hosts, friends, families, were so amazing. You made this tour possible and I can’t wait to come back again soon.
A very special thank you to:
The Parkers, for their warmheartedness and openness. We stayed with them twice on this tour and, on both occasions, spent a fair amount of time drinking smoothies (how many horse power did that blender have, again?) and watching movies in their garage which they’d converted into the most impressive home theatre I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for having us!
The Dzyngel’s, for their hospitality and their inspiring late night talks. We ate a delicious dinner (I’d never heard of lobster mushrooms before, or sweetened BBQ lemon for that matter), played the show, and then spent the rest of the night talking in the dining room. We played songs, drank some incredible scotch and just hung out. By the time we had to leave the next day it felt like saying goodbye to family. Thank you so much for being so welcoming!
The Mcinall’s, for their support and their kindness. After the show, we spent a good deal of time just talking, hanging out and playing Mario Kart. We may not have wowed them with our Nintendo skills, but we certainly had a good time embarrassing ourselves. Some, more than others… (shake-weight?). Thank you for everything, you guys were great.
The Sommerville’s, for their thoughtfulness and their hard work! I had so much fun playing this show and interacting with the people there. Everyone was very kind, and they’d even made these cupcakes with a small picture of my album on them. The icing was actually one of the colors off the album, and there were even little cabins! It was very impressive, and they were delicious. I still can’t believe you guys made those! Thank you for being so supportive!
The Calderon’s, for their unreserved welcoming and warmth. We played the show down the road at a hockey arena and then went back up to their home to enjoy some 12 year old rum and to play some Monopoly. We exchanged some travel stories and just had a nice relaxing time hanging out with the family. They’d made me a poster for the show and signed the back of it, and gave it to me to take home. Thank you guys so much for making us feel so at home!
The Boczan’s, for their understanding and their hospitality. I had so much fun chatting with the family before and after the show. The mom had this amazing photo of Bono up in the living room and had worked for a record company. She had some amazing stories about meeting some of my musical heroes and then, they let us peruse their music collection. I have never seen so many CD’s in a person’s house in my life. We went through a lot of music and spent the day after the show just talking (Moohammed Ali still makes me laugh) and recommending bands to each other. Thank you guys for having us, and for the demo CD, we loved it!The Poulin’s, for her gentleness and generosity. The majority of the people at this show were French teachers, but they also spoke English. We had a great time playing the show and then got to hang out and chat with everyone. A friend of a friend (who is now also, a friend) came to the show but didn’t even know the host. She had no problem welcoming everyone into her house. It was great. Later we watched an awful remake of a Patrick Swayze movie and went to bed far too late. Thank you so much for the great evening!
The Keon/MacFarlane’s for their big-heartedness and their welcoming. It was St. Patrick’s day when we played this show, and we had two days off in a row afterwards. We played the show and had an amazing time doing so, and then we partied. In a nutshell, there was a 10-15 ft high bonfire, there was some less-than-sober snowmobile driving and there was some ditch 4x4’ing. After we got stuck and smashed off the door, but before the police drove by I remember looking up at the stars and thinking, “I love my job”, and I do. Thank you so much for the amazing time, the hilarious stories and adopting me into the family. You guys are great.
The Champions, for having an amazing last name and for being so incredibly kind. After the show, as is often the case in life, we discovered a lot of our friends knew each other. We stayed up late scrolling through Facebook laughing at the strange coincidences. The next day they took us down to the local coffee shop and bought us our morning fix. It turns out that they also do photography and are pretty darn good! You can check out some of their stuff at www.wearethechampions.ca Thank you guys for the coffee, the wonderful night and the good heartfelt chats.
The DiLeonardo’s, for their encouragement and their generosity. We managed to deal our way out of a Harlem Shake video and, despite the foam clock/wine glass fiasco, had an amazing time laughing far too much. Later on we had a family jam session and just played guitar and sang along late into the night. It was one of those “I wish this didn’t have to end” moments. Thank you guys so much for the giant pizza, the delicious wine and the hilarious memories.
The Miller’s, for their hospitality and their warmheartedness. We also stayed with them twice on this tour. The second time they just left a key for us because they knew we’d arrive before they were home. They were kind, funny, great hosts who not only let us stay with them twice, but also made us some of the best Americano’s I’ve ever had. We talked about all sorts of things and had a great time getting to know each other. They gave me a ceramic cup made by a friend of theirs, which is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the beds, the breakfasts and the great chats. It was amazing.
The Bast’s, for their support and their friendliness. After the show we hung out and I passed my guitar over to a young lady who played a few songs and sang beautifully. We sang a few together as well. We stayed up late chatting, laughing at photo’s of obese pets and woke up the next morning to a delicious breakfast. There was a brief incident with someone’s clothes and a cat seeking revenge, but we managed to remain unscathed. Thank you guys for having us over and for all the support!
The Cristofaro’s, for their dedication and their warmth. After a few last minute cancellations it looked as though the show might fall through. I called the host and after a good talk, we agreed that the show would go on regardless of the number of attendants. The show ended up having a great turn out and was so much fun to get to play. We had a delicious dinner, met a lot of great people, and shared a lot of stories. It was a wonderful night and I’m so glad it happened! Thank you so much for all your hard work and for having us, it was great.
Opening for BOY at Le Divan Orange. Not only was this a tremendously fun show to get to play, I also got to stay with an old friend in the beautiful city of Montreal. I met her boyfriend that night and we ended up staying up very late, enjoying some incredible homemade cocktails. Thank you to all who came out to the show, and to my friends who let me crash at their place. You guys are the best.
The Baumgartners, for their hospitality and their kindness. We had an amazing dinner with the family and then played the show. It was so much fun, and everyone was so kind. We spent a good amount of time after that recommending bands to one another and telling travel stories. We enjoyed a few beers out of some very unique cups and then listened to one of the daughters play “Hey Jude” on the piano. It was so good! We talked and laughed and just had a great time. Thanks again for having us and for being so kind to us!
The Hilkene’s, for their storytelling and their hospitality. We ate and drank and laughed with them and told stories from our travels. I always love hearing stories from someone else who loves to travel. It’s so inspiring. After the show and when most people had gone home, we played a few more songs with the family (three-part harmonies!) and just enjoyed hanging out together. The next day we had a delicious breakfast and I tried capers for the first time. We hung out a while more and told more stories. It was such a calm and welcoming place, we had a great time. Thank you so much for having us you guys. We really enjoyed ourselves.
and, lastly, The Evan’s for their generosity and their warmheartedness. We played to a pretty full house and loved it. I even played a song I wrote when I was 17. Hanging out and chatting with everyone afterwards was one of my favorite moments. Everyone was so kind! We jammed late into the night and then just stayed up talking. We didn’t get to bed until almost 4. They were so welcoming and so lovely. We had an amazing time. I really hope we get to come back again soon and see you guys. Thank you so much for having us. You guys shocked and humbled me.
We ended the tour by playing a set at the Free Times cafe in Toronto. The audience was about 50% people who had hosted us and 50% people who hadn’t been able to make it to a show. Seeing the familiar faces was such a joy to my heart, and meeting all the new ones was so great. I really don’t think I’ll be able to express my appreciation or my thankfulness for each of you. It’s your support that makes this all possible. Thank you again, for everything. I truly cannot wait to come back and to see you all again.
more soon.

I got to film this music video for my song, “Wish You Well” with my friends from Cassiar MediaWorks. We shot it on Gabriola Island in 2 days. It was a lot of fun.
I hope you like it.
-joshua- cold roads, warm homes.
Well, here we go again. I’m very excited to be heading back out on the road, on tour. Tomorrow, in the (eeeeaaarly) morning, I’ll be flying out to Ontario to do a series of house shows. From the 6th to the 30th of March, I’ll be playing in different people’s homes. I’m also going to be opening for BOY in Montreal on the 25th! It’s all going to be a lot of fun, although I don’t really know what to expect. I’ve done house shows before, but never so many in a row! As always, I’ll be blogging and posting as I go. So be sure to follow me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook all @joshuahyslop, for updates, photo’s and more as the tour progresses.
If you’d like to blog or post about a show that you attended please be sure to either ‘#’ or ‘@’ joshuahyslop, and include the hashtag #coldroadswarmhomes.
There was a tremendous response when we asked if people would consider hosting a show and, although we weren’t able to coordinate with everyone’s schedules, we were able to book a whole tour! We’ll definitely be doing more of these in the very near future. So if you were hoping to host a show and it didn’t work out, or if you’re just finding out about the possibility of hosting a show, head over to www.joshuahyslop.com and read about how you can host one of my house shows next time.I’m incredibly honored to get to do what I do and it honestly would not be possible without all of your support. So I’d like to say thank you to every one of you who have made this tour a possibility and who have supported me along the way. This is going to be a great tour and I look forward to getting to play for and meet so many of you in the next few weeks!
more soon.
