God is a businessman, and every product goes obsolete;
Cut the strings that tie to a simple idea that’s hard to keep.
Death and leaving – that seems to cover the subject matter of nearly every song I’ve written in recent memory. I mentioned that fact one Sunday, while playing at the Fish Market, and I realized that most of the covers I play fit that bill as well.
I don’t plan on dying. “Darkroom” is about not trusting death or god or anybody to decide when I go. Listen to it loud.
God if it’s all the same to you,
just leave me be to my devices;
Cut the strings that tie to you,
and leave my soul to pay the prices.
It’s the first song recorded in my new studio/laundry room here in Montreal. There’s a surprising energy to that room, and I’m certainly warming up to it. I wish I had my full arsenal with me. I’ll try to keep the textures interesting despite the limitations – there’s no shortage of material, I’ve made at least five unused demoes in the last two weeks.
Enjoy!

Don’t worry about the undertones of your writing or types of song. Music is about experiences and life plays a big part in those experience that influence your writing and your performances. Unfortunatly events in your life have been coming up on the dark side, keep true to your feelings. I am sure that future events that you will experience will turn positive and those will be reflected in your writing and performances. Keep up the tempo.
