1.	Compass (Original Session) [feat. Darrell Scott] 02:42	lyrics	buy track
I'd like to say to you 'come follow' But you may find my heart's been hollowed out It' seems the water here is shallow, but it's over my head And still I swallow But I've thrown away my compass Done with the chart I’m tired of spinning around Looking for direction, a northern star I’m tired of spinning around I'll just step out Throw my doubt into the sea For what’s meant to be will be, will be My skin is old I need to shed it Cause there’s more to me, I have to let it out I may not know which way I’m headed But I’ve got my sail, I’m gonna to set it I've thrown away my compass Done with the chart I’m tired of spinning around Looking for direction, a northern star I’m tired of spinning around I'll just step out Throw my doubt into the sea For what’s meant to be will be, will be I've thrown away my compass Done with the chart
2.	Weighted Mind (Original Session) [feat. Darrell Scott] 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Should I lead - Should I lay low? If I ask you - will you even know? From the roof to the ground These walls must come down It all seems right written on a page I tell myself we’ll be ok But I can’t chase away my doubt So much left to figure out Weighted mind Wasted time Through the haze see what you will A broken glass that never spills I know you think you’ve been set free But we are slaves to our beliefs Weighted mind Wasted time Weighted mind Wasted time Weighted minds Grey in time
3.	Wings of the Dawn (Original Session) [feat. Alison Krauss] 03:08	lyrics	buy track
Even the night will be light all around me Nowhere to go nor to flea All is exposed - what’s behind and before me Once weary soul you are free But if I rise on the wings of the dawn If I settle on the far side of the sea Even there, your hand will guide me Search me and know me and hold me fast Lead me in ways ever last Help me not to question my doubt nor past Fill me with hope this I ask But if I rise on the wings of the dawn If I settle on the far side of the sea Even there, your hand will guide me

5.	I'll Be Fine (Original Session) 03:20	lyrics	buy track
I’ll tell you again and maybe you’ll believe me the second time I told you to leave cause darlin’ this time you’ve crossed the line Over and over again we’ve played this same old game And I don’t think that I can bear much more pain But I’ll be fine - so fine In time You and me can be so crazy here at times We let it go, say things, then wish we could rewind But never never again will I say that we’re through Though I have done most everything I know to do But I’ll be fine - so fine I’ll be fine - so fine In time I can’t let it get me down Though you’ve walked all over me, somehow I didn’t see And now I’m looking up - instead of giving up I can’t help but wanna smile Cause you’ve made me feel alive, even for a little while But now those times are gone, but I’m still hanging on And for a while I thought I’d let myself run dry I thought I’d cried all the tears that I could cry But I’m moving on - with my head held high With no regrets and even though it’s goodbye I’ll be fine

about

Sierra Hull recorded these tracks in 2013 and they were never released. In 2014, she started over in the studio with Bela Fleck - producing and creating a much more acoustic version of these songs as part of the Grammy nominated Weighted Mind album that came out in 2016 on Rounder Records. Five years later, it's time for the world to hear what was originally in her head at the time.
