Embers

My debut single "Mountains" is a Folk/Americana joyride through the dappled sunlight of the winding Appalachian highways; a story of leaving behind a world of expectations and deadlines in pursuit of a life of joy and freedom.

Lyrics:
Like a leaf that's headed toward the ground
In the dead of winter when no leaves are around
You keep wondering when I'll let you down

I see you there, I see it in your eyes
The bags you packed, the station in your mind
I can't let you go if you think I ain't tried

Don't you know while you were lying on the floor
I was right down there beside you
The nights are long and oh the days can feel so short
I'm with you though
Don't you know

I see you there, dressed in full disguise
A self-righteous santuary of cigarettes and pride
Don't you dare pretend that it ain't you that lied

Don't you know while you were walking out the door
I was right down there behind you
The nights are long and oh the days can feel so short
I'm with you though
Don't you know

The nights are long and oh the days can feel so short
I'm with you though
Don't you know

Don't You Know

Moss was one of those songs that poured out over the span of twenty minutes via a sudden rush of inspiration, and then was recorded on the same day. During our time spent living on Vancouver Island, Sara was visiting home in Toronto for a week but I decided to stay back and write. I was alone on the other side of the country in the middle of the pandemic and had absolutely nobody I knew there (we moved there during the pandemic, so naturally we had zero friends). Just me, my instruments, and two cats. I quickly realized how uncomfortable it was to spend time in complete solitude without the distraction of the internet or some other digital convenience of the modern world. I wrote and recorded Moss on the second day of that week, and spent the rest of the week trying to meditate and appreciate the solitude rather than distract myself from it.

Take a long hard look at everything you’re feeling alone
Like the moss on wood, maybe we just need it to grow

Set your focus on the wind
The sunset and stillness within

Do you feel it now, rushing on
Do you hear the luscious tones
Of the moment’s song
And the morning’s calm

Then the somber glow returns as you’re reading the phone
You hold the blue midnight sun in your room
Fool your circadian [rhythm], the morning has come

Though it’s dark outside, your racing mind
Thinks that it’s time to get up and go

Can you feel it now, there’s nothing on
You’re caught in the dial tone 
Waiting to be rung
But the moment’s gone
You missed the moment, gone
Yeah the moment’s gone

Hey! It’s Mike.

Calm Canopy- the deep peace and inspiration I find under a canopy of trees.

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, *miraculously* gaining over 100,000 streams 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 produce my indie rock/pop anthems of inner discovery from my home studio in a sleepy town located West of Toronto. 🇨🇦

In addition, I take on custom song commissions for cool cats who know an unforgettable gift idea when they hear one.

"Calm Canopy is one of those artists you should appreciate [...] it's a one-man-band who knows how to pen a song, play, record, and do everything else" - It's All Indie
