Mostly Sonny - Snake's Neck

'Social Loner' is raw and introspective. With a vibrant mix of vulnerability and resilience, the song captures the dichotomy of being a social chameleon in a crowded room while harboring a deep sense of loneliness within. Inspired by a solitary night at a local show in Vancouver, Cara, adept at projecting an extroverted facade, unveils the silent yearning for genuine connection and intimate camaraderie.

Through a stunning vocal performance, 'Social Loner' delves into Cara's dual nature—a blend of introversion and extroversion, often misunderstood by her peers. Despite the appearance of social adeptness, there's a poignant longing for meaningful companionship, for friends who transcend the surface-level interactions prevalent in Cara's day-to-day life. It's a heartfelt exploration of the yearning for true community—of kindred spirits with whom one can share silence, laughter, and the weight of existence.

Reminiscent of 90s grunge and Lilith Fair, 'Social Loner' is an incredible work of art.

🏆 Winning entry in the 2023 Wildlife Sound Recording Society 2023 Richard Margoschis Documentary Competition.

“2023 was a big year of change for our family. We moved countries leaving behind the nest we’d built over 10 years. This piece was a way of processing our fleeting memories. Together with my two eldest daughters, we listen to and chat about the recordings I’d made of the swallows that visited our barn. We found parallels between them and us.

A huge thanks from myself and daughters to the WSRS for this award. Owls are a family favourite - don’t tell the swallows!”

Reason to Be

There's a reason to be
More than a little upset
If there's a morsel of truth 
I guess no one’s found it yet

Is there somewhere to go?
Where the people are good
If it’s so easy to do 
Why’d you make it look so hard?

Do you know who you are?
Do you like what you do?
You could find something new 
But it’s too much work right now 

There’s a room with a view
Overlooking the truth 
You could make it a home 
But at what cost to your soul 

Let’s pray it won’t happen 
In our lifetime
Torn pages in place of reassurances 

There’s a reason to be
Grateful for every day 
But you must watch what you say 
Because someone’s always listening 

Is there somewhere to go? 
Where the living is free
If it’s so easy for you
Tell me why don’t you just leave?

Let’s pray it won’t happen 
In our lifetime 
Torn pages in place of reassurances

Old faces, same places
It’s a new regime 
Still tongue tied and speechless
It’s another day 

(There’s a reason to be, more than a little upset, there’s a reason to be)
