These songs reflect on life in Canada and span the time living in both Ontario and moving out to Alberta.  Beautiful Life is a love letter the future. Dream in Black and White starts with an archetypal hockey practice. Jim Gardy Pt. I and II and Grey Haired Mother are inspired by Spaghetti Westerns. The Party Must End draws on my Blues roots and reflect when change is inevitable. Chinese Restaurant was inspired by travelling across Canada and seeing a Chinese Restaurant in every little town. Ugly Songs is about the creative writing process. Lenses Extend references an ee cummings poem and deals with the expansion I witnessed living in Calgary and Toronto. The songs in many ways write themselves. I don't know where they come from all the time. I am just glad they come at all. I hope you enjoy them. -clayton

thoughts while shovelling snow

i am one of those

how to write ugly songs

my poor old grey haired mother

Recorded literally between diaper changes. The bed tracks for many of the songs were recorded when my baby daughter played at my feet. She appears prominently and the start and finish of the final track We All Want To Be Heard. She was finding her voice in the background while I recorded the vocal and guitar. The concept of this project was to play all the instruments and keep it as natural as possible (acoustic guitar. accordian, mandolin, piano etc.) I hope you enjoy. -clayton
