Lyrics :

Ah, the drama!  
We all become drama queens.  
When everything’s fine, we nitpick,  
We argue, we wound with words.  
Yet the flame still burns,  
Anger or sadness,  
But love still lives.  

Arguments matter,  
As long as they end with love.  
Not going to bed angry,  
Not tormented, not apart.  
Communication is the key,  
Boundaries without belittling,  
Respecting each other  
As you respect yourself.  

Sometimes we settle things in passion,  
Other times in exhausting debates.  
The important thing is calm,  
To understand we are alive,  
And neither of us will lose.  

Yes, the sea moves,  
Fiery waves and tumults.  
Enough room on the board for two,  
When we know what makes us happy.  
Arguments matter,  
As long as they end with love,  
Not with poorly managed traumas.  

The most important thing is forgiveness,  
As long as it’s still reasonable.  
No room for frustration,  
When there is understanding.  


"Do we agree on this argument?"
"Yes, my love, tell me what’s wrong too."
"You are the most wonderful person in my life."

Lyrics:

Have I been here too long? Have I overstayed my welcome?
Have I gone too far? Am I out of sight and mind?
There’s no one here but me now, floating by
Just floating

Have you had enough? I try to be more offering
Will someone fill my cup, with happiness and laughter
So I don’t have to travel, have my troubles chase me around the world
Or maybe I should travel, have my troubles thank me for all the air and exercise

And if I wander, I’m no burden
But I’m still my own oppressor

Well I’m better than I was before
Now I finally got the chance to show you I was broken
But I never put the steel to sore
I’ve been holding on to all that bleeds me from the core
Break me, take my body for somebody who could use it
Break me, take my body for somebody who could use it
Cause I’ll mislead and confuse it
Oh I’ll dismay and abuse it

And if I wander, I’m no burden
But I’m still my own oppressor
And if I wander, I’m no burden
But I’m still my own oppressor

Never alone, never alone with you
Never alone, never alone, untrue

And if I wander, I’m no burden
But I’m still my own oppressor

A Folded Letter

No Burden

Just a music producer artist guy who loves steamed vegetables and is mostly blind in one eye. Here's my story.

In the 2020 clusterduck-shmitstorm, I quit my corporate job and moved from the Toronto area to Vancouver Island with my wife and two cats where I'd write and record the first Calm Canopy singles (, , , ) in a makeshift bedroom studio, which were all released over the span of a few months.

2021: the new songs made their way into new ears via various Spotify editorial playlists such as Indie All Stars, Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds: Rock, Fresh Finds: Indie, Fresh Finds: Pop, RADAR Canada, New Music Friday Canada, undercurrents, and Ready to Rock. I was floored. I felt like dancing; I did. I enjoyed a square of the darkest chocolate I could find. Then I got back to work.

Today, I continue to produce my indie rock/pop anthems of inner discovery from my home studio in a small town located West of Toronto. 🇨🇦 Thank you for lending me your ears.
