Their song "All Will Be Well" off of the 2005 EP Live at World Cafe rose to moderate prominence when it was used in promos for the NBC show Conviction.
The band released their debut album for Fantasy Records, The Gabe Dixon Band, in August 2008. In its initial days of release, it has received praise from the music press and fellow artists. The band toured the United States from Aug 2008 through Nov 2008 with native New Yorker turned Canadian resident, newcomer Justin Nozuka.
The song Find My Way was the opening track to the film The Proposal (2009) starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.
Gabe Dixon is also currently a member of the band Supertramp (as of Fall, 2010).
Gabe's solo album, One Spark, will be released on August 23, 2011. The album is produced by Marshall Altman and will feature a duet with Alison Krauss.
Find My Way
Gabe Dixon Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just trying to find my way home
Silently I'm seeking a kind
Of a way to get by on my own
Downtown Saturday
In a better way than I ever was before
Don't need anyone standing in my sun
Well, it's a long way I know
And there's no one way to go
But it's all gonna show in the end
I've got to find my way, find my way
Find my way home
I've got to find my way, find my way
Find my way home
All those plans that I made for myself
I've got nobody else to lean on
Gone so far with my head in the clouds
Now it's time to come down and be gone
Downtown Saturday
In a better way than I ever was before
Don't need anyone standing in my sun
Don't need that anymore
All the time in the world
And everything I have heard
You know it's all in a word, destiny
Find my way, find my way
Find my way
I've got to find my way, find my way
Find my way home
Find my way, find my way
Find my way home
I've got to find my way, find my way
Find my way home
I've got to find my way, find my way
Find my way home, yeah, yeah
Find my way home
The lyrics of Gabe Dixon Band's "Find My Way" are about the search for a personal sense of direction and purpose while simultaneously breaking free from the constraints of others' expectations. The singer is not looking for trouble or causing any harm, they are simply trying to navigate their way through life on their own terms. The use of the word "silently" suggests a sense of introspection and contemplation. The singer is trying to find a way to "get by on [their] own," implying a desire for independence and self-sufficiency.
The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "I've got to find my way home," which can be interpreted both literally as a physical destination and metaphorically as a state of mind or emotional stability. The singer is looking to establish a sense of home or belonging within themselves, rather than relying on external factors like friends or family. The phrase "All those plans that I made for myself, I've got nobody else to lean on" reinforces this idea of individual perseverance and self-reliance. The final lines of the song, "yeah, yeah, find my way home," are repeated several times, underscoring the importance of this search for direction and the desire to find a sense of home in oneself.

Everytime I begin to doubt myself/my path, something happens that I just cannot ignore. I randomly stumbled upon this song on Shazam a little bit ago and just about cried when I heard it. This is the PERFECT EMPOWERING song, talking about going against the beliefs of those around you and following your heart. Trying hard to stand on my own feet and not letting others' views get me down so I very much needed this. Thank you!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
