about

Free fallin' on a feeling is an absolute summertime gem. Produced by Classified and featuring Toronto Rapper D.O. Gibson, its groovy, contagious chorus will linger on your lips long after the track ends. Beautiful mind is a funky tune that is an anthem of encouragement and love.
Lightning Strikes is another funky track that has a beach vibe. Its destined for many a plays on the lake or at the cottage. Off my mind is a melodic history of a love found, lost and its ever lasting memories. The final track, All for you, is a mesmorizing ballad, a declaration of great sacrifice and loss that resonates in its beautiful harmonies. The rest of the album is filled with upbeat and feel good pop tracks that will have you wondering, what can't Keith Mullins do? Full marks on the albums both creatively and in their production.

Mullins is joined by collaborators throughout both albums by the likes of Gordie Sampson, Matt Andersen, Classified, Meaghan Smith, D.O. Gibson, Colin Grant, Jason Mingo and Mike Sheppard.

Free Falling on a Feeling
Produced by Classified
Written by Keith Mullins, Adam MacKay and Duane Gibson

Stealing kisses cause we feel it
Life is good cause we're breathing
We're shooting stars that we believe in
Free falling on a feeling

Tell that boss where to shove it
Take that trip to Spain or some place exotic
Sky diving daring to dream
People try to bring me down but you, you know what I mean

Stealing kisses cause we feel it
Life is good cause we're breathing
We're shooting stars that we believe in
Free falling on a feeling
And we can never be defeated
We're everything we ever needed
Sky's the limit ain't no ceiling
Free falling on a feeling

I take a ride on intuition
Cause sometimes you get stuck in indecision
And the time, flies by, seems like a minute
So I, sky dive and never look back
Except to pull that, parachute strap

CHORUS

Falling free, we're so alive
Chasing dreams, never asking why
CHORUS


Beautiful Mind
Written by Keith Mullins and Adam MacKay

The clouds were dark, the rain it poured
This pang in my heart, couldn't be ignored
All my life, I struggled with the truth
Then one day, lightning flashed
Somehow I realized what I had
And it all comes down to you

The fire burns bright when you're feeding the flames
A heart fills with love when you're there again

Do something, make it happen
Be someone, let it be lasting
Might take you long time follow your heart
Use that beautiful mind
Trust yourself, keep your head up high
Before step one, step inside
Might take you long time follow your heart
Use that beautiful mind

I saw ya there, crying in the corner
Thought to myself, I should warn ya
I could tell you were struggling with the truth
Took a chance, said hello
Couldn't go on without lettin' ya know
That it all comes down to you

Pre-chorus

Solo
Chorus

For Tonight
Written by Keith Mullins and Adam MacKay

You could justify, walk that tightrope wire
Spin it anyway that they want it
We could talk about it, we could beat that horse
Goin on and on about it

I know talk is cheap, but the time is now
My heart’s racing, I’ll say this out aloud

For tonight 
I'll be yours
And you be mine
No strings attached
Leave it all behind
It’s tearing us apart, just listen to your heart, the stars are aligned
For tonight

Our hearts might break, the ground might shake beneath us
Though the cost could be steep, these memories we’ll keep
Between us

I know this is wrong, but it feels so right
Look me in the eyes, put your hand in mine
This could be our last romance
So let it be only you and I

There’s nothing else to do but to be together
And I got you in my arms I wish tonight would last forever

CHORUS


Lightning Strikes
Written by Keith Mullins and Adam MacKay

There's an obvious connection here
Between me and you
That we can't refuse
There's a current thats electric here
I can't resist
I let it flow on through
The glimmer in your eye sends a shiver down my spine
The way that you move, igniting the room
We've got the fire, that I desire
You light up my life when your lightning strikes

You know you do

Some people say, it won't hit twice
Hold me now, take your best shot
There was static the clouds that night
When our lips touched
My heart stopped
You shimmer in the light, your the fuel in my fire
When you struck the match
I was all lit up
We've got the fire, that I desire
You light up my life when your lightning strikes

You know you do

When I feel your touch
My blood begins to rush
The world melts away and it's just us
I know you feel it too
Don't let it stop you
From doing the things that you need to do
Things always happen for a reason
Listen to your heart when you get the feeling

We've got the fire, that I desire
You light up my life when your lightning strikes


Off of my Mind
Written by Keith Mullins and Adam MacKay

She grew up a few miles away
Still only seems like yesterday
Hair so pretty, eyes so blue
I knew right there, I'd be falling soon

I reached out, she let me in
No matter what, we'd sink or swim
A little scared, but willing to give
Had some hard times, just trying to live

Wake up lonely, just the moon in my eyes
I'm wide awake, so I think I might write
Pen to paper, try to find the right words
I Need to talk, but I've lost the nerve
Page fills up, it's another sad song
Wondering where it all went wrong
Tear it up, for the hundreth time
Still can't write her off my mind

time passed by, got on with life
started a job, I was dead inside
saw her there, beautiful skin
Fought a smile and I'm falling again.

BRIDGE
We grew apart, I made her cry
That was the day, she left my side
I battled with the reasons why
Until I finally realized

CHORUS

Don't Look Down
Written by Keith Mullins and Adam MacKay

When she walked in, I thought she's outta my league
Up until my instincts took a hold of me
I lost what I was but I found myself free
Took my place where I was meant to be

Cause when you're one step away from the edge
Listen to what your heart says

If your wondering how we'll get through the night
Don't look down
We're leaving this world behind
Don't look down

I took her by the hand, I was spinning her around
My head was hooked on her, my heart was beating loud
Out of nowhere, out of breath and out of fear
I pulled her in close and whispered in her ear

PRECHORUS
CHORUS

We fought our way free of fears we couldn't face
We closed our eyes tight, took that leap of faith
Found ourselves on top, we could see the whole city
Sunk deep into her eyes, for her I'm crazy


Pour Your Heart Into It
Written by Keith Mullins and Adam MacKay

Saw it on a sign in little cafe
To write it all down seemed so cliche
But you know there's a reason they say what they say
In my coffee came the truth through a morning haze
Since I'se young, called spade a spade
there's one constant,  I'm true to my ways
My heart's on my sleeve, walking around naked
It's how I feel, ain't no mistaking it

Pour your heart into it
Put your soul down through it 
Let your spirit fly
Never asking why
Pour your heart into it

Your like an old song, perfect and timeless
Everything we share, I consider priceless
You play my heart strings like the sweetest violins
You look into my eyes, time is still and silent

Pour your heart into it
Put your soul down through it
Let your spirit fly
Never asking why
Pour you heart into it

People say, return is slim
Its not like that, its different
I won’t live with regret in the end
so when my heart speaks, I listen in

Breakable
Written by Keith Mullins and Adam MacKay

You are the one after my own heart
Livin' life large and giving it hard
You don't end til the sun comes up
You'll do it forever with any luck
With any luck

I'm only looking to leave this box
I love to have a laugh no second thoughts
I'll be right there with ya til the sun comes up
We'll do it together and with any luck
With any luck

You will hold my heart
Don't let go
I'm willing and I'm ready to let down my guard
Even though I know this heart if breakable

we'll fall hard cause we dive right in
both rather sink then slowly swim
push that limit this love like ours
watching waves break underneath the stars

You will hold my heart
Don't let go
I'm willing and I'm ready to let down my guard
Even though I know this heart if breakable
You will hold my heart
Don't let go
I'm the steel rebar in concrete rock I can take a lotta weight
But I'm still breakable

Like the dawn breaks
This fever breaks
I'm breakable
Like the ground shakes
I kinda hate
That I'm breakable


Villian For Life
Written by Keith Mullins and Adam MacKay

Turned 18, the day they took my mugshot
Turned me around, then they took my fingerprints
I was feeling tough, til I felt that l door shut
Momma's so proud of me

Cop took me home, cuffed in his cruiser
Life got cold, was feeling like a loser
Opened the door to a world that was real
Momma's so proud of me

One damn night, they judge you for the rest of your life

I'm only human
Messing up time to time
Don't matter to you man
That I'm a villain for life

Hearing people whisper, when I'm walking down the street
When I'm leaving stores, they ask for all my receipts
Can't find a job, no one believes in me
Momma's so proud of me

PRECHORUS
CHORUS

So I give them what they want
Give em what they need
Raise some hell, bring em to their knees
Next mugshot, i'll smile and say cheese
Take a bow everybody that made a villain out of me

CHORUS

All For You
Written by Keith Mullins and Adam MacKay

I wanna live my life with the fullest cup somehow
I wanna look back in a year saying take a look at us now
I wanna take all our troubles and leave em all behind
I wanna start all over and not mess it up this time

For every step we take, seems its all uphill
I will give it my all, take what you will

How do ya find a spark when your hearts on fire
How do get to that water when your wells bone dry
How is that I never figure out if what I'm thinking is true
In this song I'm saying I'm sorry, it was all for you

For you
All for you
All for you
All for you

I wanna let go but I'm not really sure I know how
Don't wanna end up regretting something that should've come around
I wanna get down to the root and live with an open mind
Will be both know love again or are we out of time

The leaves will always change and the wind will always blow
Well I can't find the tides or the undertoe

CHORUS

I wanna live my life with the fullest cup somehow
I wanna look back in a year saying take a look at us now
