Hotel Room
This is better than fantasy
Everything that I'll ever need
Cause from here is the most perfect view
In the mirror of me and you
This is history in the making
I don’t care about all the rules we are breaking
Can't we just stay inside forever?
We can blame it on the weather
Cause the world's so perfect
From this hotel room
A bathtub filled up with some pink soap
Terrace breakfast in a bathrobe
And we step inside when the sun kisses the moon
Cause we don't need nothing more
Just some breakfast in front of our door
There's a secret I have to spill
If we stay inside we won't get a bill
One plus one is so much more than two
Got a whole universe right here with you
Can't we just stay inside forever?
We can blame it on the weather
Cause the world's so perfect
From this hotel room
A bathtub filled up with some pink soap
Terrace breakfast in a bathrobe
And we step inside when the sun kisses the moon
Can't we just stay inside forever?
We can blame it on the weather
Cause the world's so perfect
From this hotel room
A bathtub filled up with some pink soap
Terrace breakfast in a bathrobe
And we step inside when the sun kisses the moon

Hotel Room

On this album is the greatest capturing of back-up singers I have ever achieved during these wonderful rustic settings for recoding music. Mitch Seekins, Suzie Ungerleider, Kelly Adams and Kevin Kloss stood to the side of the band and crouched under the low roof of the barn in front of a couple mics and sang their hearts out to most of the songs from these sessions. They can be heard at their lush best in “Never Intended”. 

This album is actually a collection of recordings done “in the barn’ (literally – it was a barn) with the first sessions taking place in, I think, 2010 and the second set of sessions in 2012. If you want to see some of the story of the first sessions, they are part of the documentary film I made called Off The Grid. Not only that, but I also threw on the final mix for this album the song “I Am Canadian” which I had recorded at some point with the Northern Pikes, but then we kept it off the EP we put together called “Long Walk Home” for some reason. Like the next album I would record “live off the floor” (“Off The Grid”), this is a fine selection of roots-acoustic tracks played by talented and skilled acoustic musicians. 

One big thrill for me was finally getting to do a duet with the extremely talented Oh Suzanna as she was called at the time (now Suzie Ungerleider): Another Glass Of Wine, which then doubled in thrill when she allowed me to cut her song “River Blue”. 
“Wonderful Things” were lyrics Kelly Adams emailed to me one day and for some reason they struck a chord, so to speak, and the song just flowed out as I sat in my bed one night. They are beautiful and powerful lyrics that touch your soul.

Another Glass Of Wine

A collaboration with Kevin Connelly in the USA, Kevin provided the lyrics, and I set them to music. For FAWM 2024

Don't Play House with my Heart (without drums) lyrics by Kevin Connelly

A song to invite tired souls to discover the richness of self sacrifice for the good of others... spouse, child, sibling, stranger, and ultimately it lifts the sacrificing soul to a higher place. 
The view is better from up there..

I know I saw her at the lake
Treading water toward the wake
Diving deeper was her first mistake

Dropped the bobber dropped the bait
Round the corner jump the gate
Oh my God, I hope I’m not too late

Chorus/Bridge
When the accounting is done
Odds are a million to one
The winners and losers
Who knows which one we will we be
Only the future can see
We’ll learn in the end

Grabbed a shoulder, grabbed the vest
Reaching shore will be the test
Out of time, I know I’ve done my best

SOLO

Chorus/Bridge/Out

The Lake

Heavenly in the garden 
She says a prayer
That all the tape will hide her measurements so well

My judgment is poor
I drink my tea in shortcuts (short cups)
The tall ones always end up getting cold

Stop me from tending to empty gardens

Remedies from the pharmacist 
To restrict myself
From sucking apple vinegar straight to my mouth

It’s tranquil when it goes down
I don’t have nothing else to think

Stop me from tending to empty gardens

Dear Soul,

Love doesn’t have to all make sense, or even make sense at all. It’s love! Let it be… love.

Perhaps it’s time to get out of your head and into your heart. What would happen if you followed your heart for a change? Sure it could end up hurting you, but you’re hurting anyway. And what if it hurts and it’s worth it? 

Maybe if you let love lead, it would take you places you can’t even imagine, because you’ll be a different kind of person. You’ll be guided more by love than by logic.

Be magical dear soul and let love work its magic on you. 

Love, Yourself.
