Poor Darlin’

First single, a fun up beat song to get you to Shake it.
Mixed and Master by Glen Robinson

Shake It

Are you hiding from me or from yourself?

If you’re searching for me in someone else, then why’d you leave me on my own?

So lonely…

So Lonely

La lode e la cura

The Murder of Colten Boushie

Colten Boushie was just a kid
Went onto George Stanley’s land
Their ain’t nothing that he had did
To deserve a bullet to the back of the head

Led to believe in circumstance
A tragic accident
Truth be told this story runs cold
Brought here by foreign men

The law was bent around the Cree
Accused of being free
Cut out the tongue, the ancient lung
Made strangers where they breathe

Boushie was asleep in the back seat
Posed no threat to Stanley
But the life of an Indian has no worth
And the all white jury agreed

Reconcile if you can
But this land is stolen land
A nation’s disgrace tucked away
Residential counterfeit map

In plain sight they drew a line
Between the white man and the Cree
The law was swayed to the lighter skin
Led by the RCMP

Evidence got washed away 
Left out in the rain
A dyin joke that up and choked
And justice pissed its pants

So damn your prayers and sympathy
Damn your home and native land
Colten boushuie was not a thief
He was a kind and generous man

The Murder of Colten Boushie
