After cutting a few demos with former Guthrie and current Cuff the Duke member Dale Murray, Liam and Kinley knew that they had found the right match. They went on to make the entire album with Dale at his home studio in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Dale’s laid-back approach to producing, which favours spontaneity over rigid structure, was perfect for the project. In addition, his own musical ability was put to good use and he shows up all over the record, contributing guitar, banjo, backup vocals, and his trademark pedal steel.
The record was put together in two short sessions that were spread across several months. The touring schedules of all involved made it difficult to get everyone together, so the three didn’t waste any time when they got in the same room. The songs were made with simple ingredients - Liam’s acoustic guitar serves as the foundation for the track, and the vocals are front and center in the mix. Kinley and Dale’s voices combine for striking harmony and the remaining space is filled by Kinley’s strings. At times jarring (‘Nobody Knows’) and in other cases layered and dramatic (‘Midnight Show’), Kinley’s versatility on both violin and viola is showcased throughout the record. Her classically-informed style proved to be an excellent complement to Liam’s rich lead vocals and the imagery in his lyrics.
During the long break between sessions, Kinley approached Liam with a song of her own. On ‘Sharpshooter’, Kinley sings softly and plucks her violin as if it was a mandolin, creating an almost eerie atmosphere. Liam loved the song immediately and told Kinley that it had to be on the record. From that point on, the Express became the vision of two unique voices and Kinley eventually contributed two more of her originals, ‘Praire Moonlight’ and ‘Dark Days in Montreal’.
The result of this project is an album featuring eleven original songs that are part-pop and part-folk. The tunes describe characters in transition, entering new relationships and terrains, and that is exactly what the Express hope to do by sharing this work with the public.

The Express Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While I was decided ......... my heart
Baby you got me running for cover
I need to slow and love you like before
Oh baby you got me runnin for high time
Trying to say what now I feel inside
Ooh I don't want you boy taking me high
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh
Pom pom hey
Pom pom hey...
Cause the day ...... you love me .....
Me want to give you my everything
Cause the day come on.......... lock me ..........

Pom pom ............ ya body
Pom pom, me show ..... everyday
Pom pom ............ ya body
Pom pom, me show ..... everyday hey !
Here comes the new musical ......................
And when me come an' dance with you, come an' dance .........
The opening lines of The Express's song I'm On Your Side expresses a desire to remain in a loving relationship despite challenges. The singer refuses to believe that their love is over, and while they may have experienced a moment of doubt, they decide to open their heart to their partner again. The next two lines express the intensity of their emotion - the partner has the power to make them feel vulnerable and exposed, causing them to retreat and seek cover. But ultimately, they want to "slow and love you like before", to return to the safety and comfort of their relationship.
The second verse adds to the overall message of emotional vulnerability and a desire for a strong, committed relationship. The singer wants to be able to express their feelings openly without fear of being hurt, but they also do not want their partner to "take them high" only to let them down. They are on their partner's side, and they want the relationship to work. The chorus, with the repetition of "Pom pom hey", seems to be a call to action - a desire to move past the challenges and reignite the passion that they once shared.
Overall, the song expresses a strong desire for a relationship to work despite past hurts, and a hope for a future where the couple can love and support each other fully.

Boy I refuse to say my love is over
I won't admit that my love has ended
While I was decided ......... my heart
Although I had made up my mind in advance
Baby you got me running for cover
You're making me scared and want to hide
I need to slow and love you like before
I should take my time and show you love again
Oh baby you got me runnin for high time
Oh darling, you have me feeling very anxious
Trying to say what now I feel inside
I'm struggling to express how I currently feel
Ooh I don't want you boy taking me high
I don't want you to get my hopes up
No more to play because I'm on your side
I'm done playing games and I'm committed to you
Cause the day ...... you love me .....
Because on the day that you love me
Me want to give you my everything
I want to give you all of me

And when I come to dance with you, let's dance
