The Way It Is
The Sheepdogs Lyrics
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way you say it is
I'll be the heartache, but it won't be long
'Til I get to where it's coming on
A little fame and I know it's true
No matter how hard I've tried to stay
I feel you pulling me further away
Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Feeling young is a trivial game
You getting older, but you stay the same
You look good when you shaking my way
But let me think of something awful to say
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
I step back and take a total view
It takes a minute, baby it's hard to do
No matter how hard, I try to change
Nothing's better, if you stay the same
Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Aye, aye, aye
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is
Everything's the way it is
It's got to be the way it is

"From the prairie city of Saskatoon, Canada come the Sheepdogs, 4 young gentlemen who revel in the joy of rock n roll so wholeheartedly, it's downright contagious. Sporting the long-haired looks of their musical forefathers, the lads make the most of their 2 guitars, bass and drums combo. Soulful vocalizations, everybody harmonizing, old-school guitar chops winding, riffing and chiming, and a grooving rhythm section that keeps it all going. Having already cemented their reputation as dynamic performers in their hometown, the Sheepdogs now turn their attention to spreading their affection for rock n roll cross-country. They have spent the last year covering the great white north, playing from Vancouver island to Montreal. They have played festivals, headlined a bill during 2007's Junofest, opened for the likes of Matt Mays and el Torpedo, and performed before thousands at 2006's Saskatoon Centennial Celebration. In January 2007 they released their debut LP Trying to Grow, a collection of guitar-driven originals that recall classic rockers like the Stones, CCR, and the Kinks. The album's title-track was featured in a province-wide campaign in their native Saskatchewan. Early 2008 has already seen the completion of their follow-up album, which mixes elements of southern rock and moody soul with gleeful straight-forward rockers. Once again, the boys are hitting the road, spreading their rock n roll revival to the rest of Canada."

I love their distinctively retro sound, if only more rock bands sounded like this!

I think it is called writing your own music and learning how to master an instrument. Then decades of practice. Forget about autotune and drum machines and ProTools.
Oh, and you get what you pay for folks. ✌
