I wrote the lyrics to this song in May 2024 in anticipation of a concert Damien Jurado was performing at in East Vancouver.  

Each time I'm in the Vancouver area, I always make this bookstore one of my stops.  In my 20's, I was very much into poetry and this bookstore had a huge new, out of print, and signed copies of work.  I found some F.R. Scott books that I had picked up on my first visit and get another book or two each time I'm there. Although I'm only in Vancouver every 5 years or so, this 
 bookstore never changes.

The song is about literary artists and musical artists both.  It is also a "tip of the hat" to Damien Jurado and F.R. Scott and the journey finding them.

I hope you like it.

The Bookstore

Finding the right place for you is an adventure

The Street You Grew Up On

Sometimes the dad in our lives don't make the right or the best decision.  It is important to let him know you still love him.

If You Dont Make It Back

A fellow, making too many bad decisions soon learns about his own demise.

Down and Out

Breaking away from somebody... or a bad habit... or an addiction, freeing yourself.

One More Time

Hitting new bars in new cities with the boys.

Euphoria

This is a nod to Johnny Cash.  Desperation, hurt, neglect, revenge, and hopes for a new start.

Another Mile

This song should resonate with almost everybody who went two-stepping at the bar.  Good times with a loved one, creating lasting memories.
