In the Winter of 2023, singer songwriter Andrew Michelin of The All Canadian Soundclash was approached by Nashville record producer Dean Miller (Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson) son of legendary singer songwriter Roger Miller after hearing The All Canadian Soundclash’s 2021 Album “Better late than never”. Dean expressed great interest in
Andrew’s song writing ability and invited him down to Nashville, Tennessee to record a record. In the summer of 2024 he found himself in Nashville’s music row recording at the legendary and historic studio called Sound Emporium founded by Jack Clement, where countless notable musicians have also recorded such as Taylor Swift, Jelly Roll, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and R.E.M. 
Andrew Michelin, the musician behind The All Canadian Soundclash from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, showcases original indie folk and alternative
rock through his projects. His approach emphasizes quality songwriting and live performance, rooted in a “less is more” philosophy. This approach,
reminiscent of The Beatles’ melodic traditions, aims to create accessible, radio-friendly music. Michelin prioritizes structured compositions and
catchy pop hooks, recognizing their significance in crafting engaging songs. This commitment to both craftsmanship and accessibility underscores 
his music’s appeal, resonating with listeners who appreciate well-crafted melodies and memorable performances.
What was produced and recorded at Sound Emporium turned into The All Canadian Soundclash’s third release. A four song E.P. entitled “Nashville” with the song “Tired” being the first single off the record. “Tired” is a deeply personal and emotional song for Andrew, reflecting a tragic event in his life. The combination of a haunting piano intro and Andrew’s melancholic vocals suggests a poignant and introspective atmosphere. The theme of loss and grief due to a drunk driving incident adds a layer of emotional depth to the song, making it a powerful tribute to his friend. The transition from the lonely piano to a full folk rock band performance likely intensifies the emotional impact, creating a memorable listening experience for the audience.

Hold Me Now

I wrote this song for my daughter. The image is a pen and ink and watercolour I did for her a few years ago.

Heaven Blessed

A confident woman for all to see
Taking on life, so easily
She’s the kind of person, I’d like to be
Thoughtful and kind, a little wild and free

Now, rumour has it, she was born this way
Came to the game, ready to play
And she’s winning hearts, along the way
This raven-haired beauty, does what she may

Can you see who she really is?
Love’s her target and she can’t miss
Puts God and dogs at the top of her list  
The kind of girl who’s heaven blessed

Tough as nails, but as soft as love
She doesn’t suffer fools no, g’head pack your stuff
A beautiful soul who’s pure and true
A better friend, I never knew

Can you see who she really is?
Love’s her target and she can’t miss
Puts God and dogs at the top of her list      
The kind of girl who’s heaven blessed

	Like a wild horse that you can’t tame
	To break her spirit would be a shame
	Let her be her that’s why she came
	A divine gift I can’t explain

Can you see who she really is?
Love’s her target and she can’t miss
Puts “must love dogs” at the top of her list       
The kind of girl who’s heaven blessed (repeat)

Heaven Blessed

By the early dew
and the morning new
Let's play serious
By the crack of dawn
and the early yawn
We´re born

By the sea-shore breeze
and the things to ease
Let's play serious
By the warming sun
and the loaded gun
on the run

Let's play serious
with our eyes
Let's play serious
and be tight
Let's play serious
frivolous
dangerous
adventurous
Angel of ...

By Her Lioness
and her claw's caress
Let's play serious
For the ties professed
and the words confessed
We're blessed

By the Goddess Moon
and the month of June
Let's play serious 
By Venus and Mars
and a billion stars
Stars

Let's play serious
with our eyes
Let's play serious
and be tight
Let's play serious
frivolous
dangerous
adventurous
Angel of ...

For the times to heal
and the place to kneel
Let's play serious
for the summerrain
and the endless pain
We're sane

For the songs of love
and the things to come
Let's play serious 
in the clear blue night
and the feeling's right
We're tight

Let's play serious
with our eyes
Let's play serious
and be tight
Let's play serious
frivolous
dangerous
adventurous
Angel of ...

And for the times we falter
and for the thing to alter
Let's play
And from the crippled maybe
to forever, baby
Let's play
And for the record's spinning
and our bodies sinning
Let's play
And for the sounds of laughter
and forever after
Let's play
and for our bones decaying
and the words we're saying
Let's play

Lets Play Serious

Let's play serious

Let’s not mince words here. Trump is the embodiment of corruption, greed, and incompetence. He’s a man who has spent his entire life looking out for himself, exploiting others, and leaving chaos in his wake. As De Niro so eloquently put it: *“He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. He’s a bullsh*t artist. He’s a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”* This isn’t just about politics—it’s about morality. It’s about standing up to a man who has no respect for the rule of law, no respect for the truth, and no respect for the American people.  

Trump’s presidency was a disaster. He divided the country, emboldened hate, and failed to deliver on his promises. He’s a man who thrives on chaos, who lies with every breath, and who cares only about his own ego. As De Niro said: *“He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a mutt. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s an idiot. He’s a fool.”* And yet, here we are, facing the possibility of him returning to power. We cannot let that happen. We cannot allow this man to continue to poison our democracy.  

This is not just about Trump—it’s about the people who enable him. The sycophants, the cowards, and the opportunists who stand by his side and allow his corruption to flourish. They are just as guilty as he is. As De Niro said: *“They’re all scum. They’re all mutts. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”* We need to hold them accountable. We need to stand up and fight back.  

The stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines. This is about the soul of our nation. It’s about protecting our democracy, our values, and our future. We cannot afford to let Trump and his enablers win. We must vote, we must organize, and we must make our voices heard. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna fight back. We’re gonna fight back with everything we’ve got.”*  

So let’s do this. Let’s come together and defeat Trump once and for all. Let’s show the world that we are better than this. That we will not tolerate corruption, lies, and hate. That we will stand up for what’s right. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna win. We’re gonna win because we have to.”*  

This is our moment. This is our fight. Let’s get to work.

I live in the echo chamber

Le doudou     ,(Translated after the French text) 
Chant     : Liora 
Musique : Alain Illos

Je te trainais partout Tu étais mon ami,                                       
Un vieux compagnon, trop grand pour l’oubli.
Tu prenais la poussière  Au fil des années, 
Un peu encombrant , Un peu dépassé .
Je pense que tu exageres : Dit l’ours rafistolé . 
Moi dans ta chambre j’étais fier. 
Gardien des peurs , des larmes , des colères et des secrets .
Pour toujours un doudou J’aurais voulu un ami . 
Pour qu’on fasse les fous , Pour parler toute la nuit . 
’aimais trop tes câlins , Je te cognais partout , 
Mais tu me pardonnais , Tu étais mon doudou .
Les jours défilent et malgré nous , 
On traine un bout de son enfance . 
Même sous le masque des apparences , Tu garderas ton innocence .
Je t’ai posé dans un coin , Plus jeté un regard , 
Comme un vieux refrain , Comme une vieille histoire . 
Mais j’sais bien qu’tu résistes , Que t’attends dans l’ombre ,
 Avec ton poil tout triste , Et tes mêmes yeux sombres.
Moi je sais bien qu’un soir , Tu me reprendras dans tes bras . 
Quand ton coeur fera des vagues , Alors je serai là pour toi .

The cuddly toy
 I dragged you everywhere You were my friend, 
an old companion, too big to forget,  
you gathered dust  As the years went by, 
A little cumbersome, A little outdated.
I think you're exaggerating: Says the patched-up bear. 
 In your room I was proud. Guardian of fears , tears, anger and secrets.
Forever a blanket I would have liked a friend. 
To fool around , To talk all night . I
 loved your cuddles too much, I hit you everywhere, 
But you forgave me, You were my security blanket.
Days go by in spite of us , We drag a piece of our childhood .
 Even under the mask of appearances , You'll keep your innocence .
I put you down in a corner , No more glances, 
Like an old refrain , Like an old story. 
But I know that you resist, That you're waiting in the shadows ,
With your sad hair , And your same dark eyes.
I know that one night , You'll take me back in your arms . 
When your heart makes waves , Then I'll be there for you .

Songs for Social Change

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to listen.  
My name is Johnny, a lifelong musician and songwriter whose work is deeply rooted in the pursuit of justice, equality, and meaningful change. For as long as I can remember, music has been my voice, my weapon, and my sanctuary—a way to channel the frustrations, hopes, and dreams of a world in turmoil.  

My songs are a reflection of the turbulent times in which we live. They are anthems for the marginalized, the oppressed, and the forgotten—those who bear the weight of systemic inequality, poverty, and injustice. Through my music, I aim to amplify the voices of minorities, the poor, the sick, and the downtrodden, shining a light on the struggles they endure in a society that often turns a blind eye.  

At the heart of my work is a call to resist the oppressive grip of the billionaire class, whose unchecked power and greed have eroded the foundations of our democracy. My lyrics are a rallying cry, urging listeners to awaken to the realities of our world, to challenge the status quo, and to fight for a future where equity and justice are not just ideals, but realities.  

But my music is not just a critique of what is wrong—it is also a beacon of hope. I strive to inspire others to join the fight, to look in the mirror and confront the uncomfortable truths of our nation’s bloody history. Only by acknowledging the past can we begin to heal and move forward. My songs are a tribute to the dreamers and the activists who came before us, and a call to carry their torch into the future.  

Above all, I seek to honor the vision of John Lennon and countless others who dared to imagine a world of peace, love, and unity. Through my music, I hope to contribute to that vision.  

Thank you for listening, and thank you for being part of the movement for change. Together, we can create a world where justice, compassion, and humanity prevail.

President Treason
