In December 2018, The National Music Centre (NMC) welcomed Reuben and the Dark to Studio Bell as Artist in Residence. To conclude the residency, the band featured a community-sourced choir on a new recording, inviting over 70 Calgarian fans to sing on the record.
NMC’s Artist in Residence program is generously supported by Bell Media. Learn more about the Program here: bit.ly/2SzWOzk

Lyrics:
Hold me like a fire
Hold me like a river
You told me, no man is a mountain
You told me, no man is the sea
You said love is a dangerous thing
If you get too close
You can hear her sing, sing
Hold me like a fire
Hold me like a river
Hold me like a fire
Hold me like a river
Tell me there’s a child
For the mother in me who closes her eyes
to remember her dreams
Tell me there’s a cure
For the father in me who closes his eyes
To forget about his dreams, dreams
Hold me like a fire
Hold me like a river
Hold me like a fire
Hold me like a river
