Treading Water CH: The tidal wave is coming And all that you can do Is take its best shot, let it feel how it feels ‘Cause the only way out is through When it hit, we all lost our footing we were washed out to sea Kick for the surface, look for a purpose to breathe Its gonna take time, we gotta make time, take time, we gotta make time you see You’re swallowed by the floor but you come back for more, underneath CH Cast a stone create a ripple Cast a shadow I track you down Cast a spell I’m yours forever, no more lookin’ for the high ground Cast a glance I’ll take it with me & leave our mark upon this world As we cast our reflection, and the storms above us swirled yeah The light came through in shafts and it ruined the waves A shattered reflection of the past, now mosaic that it made But then the waters recede, and our lives are strewn across the beach A book of broken mirrors that nobody else can read CH

Go On Boldly 03:44
Go On Boldly I know your heart is heavy, and the burden runs deep You feel it most in the nighttime, before you go to sleep All alone in the darkness, as you wait for the sun What could’ve been and what could’ve been done And now your mind races And your eyes dart You’ve got it all memorized You know it by heart CH And if you let it all go, the story won’t end The hummingbirds will come to the vines again She’d say go on boldly, Take your love by the hand And follow the road ‘til it ends Two kindred souls, shined a light for all to see A beacon of hope for them and for me Both destroyed by loss, feared not to recover Found sanctuary in love, and in one another And now your mind races And your eyes dart You’ve got it all memorized You know it by heart CH

This House 04:34
This House How can this house feel so empty When it was once so full of love Same four walls, same roof overhead Memories hidden within, like the dollars in the books that you read How can this house feel so cold No matter how hot the furnace burns Coals glow red up through the cracks in the floor But my blood never learns CH You’re still not sure you can bring yourself to pray Every time you do you’re reminded Of how this life brought you to your knees You lost faith I’ll let you find it Lost your faith I’ll help you find it I know she broke through a hundred ceilings Cloud tufts around her feet But I still see her in the garden dead heading the flowers & pulling all the weeds so, if your walls are caving in and it’s all gone up in flames Just leave that emptiness at the front door shell be waving from the window as you drive away CH How can this house feel so empty When it was once so full of love

It’s Called A Broken Heart You call my name in the night when you can’t sleep, but I won’t wake In a place I know I can never leave, I know you won’t stay CH And it’s called a broken heart Breaks but it never really heals Leaves your world torn apart I wish you didn’t know how it feels I tucked your hair behind your ears, and kissed your forehead so sweet You just stared at the floor, studied the tops of your feet This is one of those times when you’re not sure you’ll make it through But I’ll tell you now & I’ll tell you true The day will come when we say life can’t be this good The sun will shine on me & it’ll shine on you CH And if you’re lookin’ for a sign Your heart will know it’s there Like the time the yard was full of cardinals And butterflies landed in your hair CH
5.
All At Once 04:26
All at Once You said there’s a piece of music for every moment in your life Good or bad, you said sometimes that’s all you think about And sometimes that’s all, all that matters I believe the day will come, all at once And on that day, we’ll fall in love, all at once You’re gonna fall in love with me That’s just the way it’s gonna be I’ll teat you so kindly, you’ll see With the breezes on our back, I promise you that I’ll keep you safe from harm, right here in my arms
6.
Let The Music Fall Let the music fall Lay down in the dark with me It’s different underneath If you just believe Faint hearts, Chandeliers Fall apart over us my dear In a crystal hurricane dream When the mist pours over And the power lines buzz You hear the church bells down the hill, still Softly Through, Me and you Let the music fall Lay down in the dark with me It’s different underneath If you just believe Even now, Even still We allow our souls to spill In a crystal hurricane dream
7.
Lonesome & Then Some I’m the captain of a leaky little boat And below, a soft glow, my embers burn Face to face with a storm that’ll bend you at the knees Still I push on, Full steam ahead I want to forget, and be forgotten CH ‘caus I’m lonesome and then some Lonesome and then some tonight I harbor these memories so I don’t forget just what I’ve lost But the truth is, I should give up the ghost The beauty of decay, Hope starts to fade I’m lost at sea and I’m never coming home CH I’m the captain of a leaky little boat And below, a soft glow, my embers burn Face to face with a storm that’ll bend you at the knees

Stillwater 04:55
Stillwater You take the river down, ‘til we find Stillwater No looking back now, so why even bother Memories sink behind us in our wake But you know water holds the light Our dreams cascade before us in the sun Wish I may, wish I might We said our goodbyes way back there But down this corridor there’s just something in the air I feel alive on these streets of cobblestone And with you by my side, I’ll never be alone See the drawbridge lift, it picks my spirits up too This roamers lullaby comes shinin’ through Through my shirt, with the beating of my heart And it feels good to make a brand new start Baby, you don’t have to worry ‘Cause all roads will lead me to you Up where the air is thin now I have the most wonderful view So why not now and why not here See us through these shining years I gotta try, if I don’t I’ll never know Misty morning and the river flows You take the river down ‘til we find Stillwater

about

While his emotions have always been at the core of his songwriting, Jim Pullman’s newest album, Go On Boldly, brings an honesty that reaches into experiences of hope, loss, and renewal resulting in the most raw and revealing musical effort of his career. This set of songs examines issues of mortality, survival, and celebration in ways that are both personal and universal. The loss of his mother-in-law (someone very dear to Pullman’s heart) shook him deeply as did seeing his wife deal with her passing. The experience brought songs to the surface to honor his mother-in-law, songs to help the family make it through, and songs to recall better times.

The album was recorded at Pullman’s home in Eau Claire, WI, August through November 2020, with the help of longtime friend and musical confidant, Todd Barneson. Barneson was an integral part of the album, providing engineering and mixing as well as playing bass, acoustic & electric guitars, and synth, and also sang backing vocals. Also contributing to the album was Adam Harder Nussbaum on the drums and Paul Brandt, who played upright piano and synth tracks. Jim’s wife Donna also contributed with backing vocals.
