about

Fans of The East Pointers have Koady Chaisson to thank for being the kinetic force behind the JUNO-Award winning indie-folk trio since the group formed in 2014. The dancefloor-shaking, electro-trad glorious combination of folk/pop has brought so much joy to audiences around the world. And now, even posthumously, Koady’s energetic fire continues to blaze the musical trail onward.

It was on January 6, 2022 that Koady Chaisson of The East Pointers passed away from an unexpected heart aneurysm at 37. Those who were lucky to have been influenced by his creative and generous soul felt like a black hole had suddenly formed where the supernova of Koady’s light had been.

But before his passing, Koady (banjo, tenor guitar, keyboards), Tim Chaisson (vocals, fiddle, percussion) and Jake Charron (guitar, keyboards), had recorded a couple of tracks including "Stronger Than You Know", which in celebration of Koady and the release of their EP "House Of Dreams", Tim and Jake stripped back to to a stunning lullaby.

“Koady would be pissed if we didn’t get these songs out to the world,” Tim admits, talking fondly about his cousin. “We can still feel Koady’s excitement about the new songs and that’s what continues to drive this band forward,” adds Jake.

lyrics

When gales set in
And temperatures fall
It can slow you down
To a crawl

The sound when the power goes out
Is so quiet and so loud
The wind’s blowing in some hard
It could knock your house down
Big waves and murky waters
Snow beaten sons and daughters
Hold on a little longer
You’re stronger than you know
Stronger than you know

I know that feeling
Of fear and doubt
You’re stuck inside
With no way out

The sound when the power goes out
Is so quiet and so loud
The wind’s blowing in some hard
It could knock your house down
Big waves and murky waters
Snow beaten sons and daughters
Hold on a little longer
You’re stronger than you know

The sound when the power goes out
Is so quiet and so loud
The wind’s blowing in some hard
It could knock your house down
Big waves and murky waters
Snow beaten sons and daughters
Hold on a little longer
You’re stronger than you know

You always need more money
There’s never enough time
I know you got nobody
There’s a lot on the line
You’ve got nothing but troubles
On your worried mind
I know you got nobody

The sound when the power goes out
Is so quiet and so loud
The wind’s blowing in some hard
It could knock your house down
Big waves and murky waters
Snow beaten sons and daughters
Hold on a little longer
You’re stronger than you know

The sound when the power goes out
Is so quiet and so loud
The wind’s blowing in some hard
It could knock your house down
Big waves and murky waters
Snow beaten sons and daughters
Hold on a little longer
You’re stronger than you know
Stronger than you know
Hold on a little longer
You’re stronger than you know
Stronger than you know
Hold on a little longer
You’re stronger than you know
