13 tracks culled from previously released recordings as Summer Blanket (2003's "Charm Wrestling", 2005's "Whisper Louder", and 2008's "American Honey") as well as my 2008 solo record "The Sun, Clouded Over".

"One Hundred Million Lies" was recorded in a separate session with Jon Wilkins as we demoed new songs between our first 2 records.

"Televisions", "Children of the Lost", and "Slow Fire" are songs that haven't found homes until now. Enjoy!

I did a radio spot for Buffalo's Infringement Festival 2012 with local host Greg Burt on July 26th 2012. Fun moments include insane questions and rambling about this lifestyle of music. A few songs, etc. ENJOY!

Keith Michaud Radio Infringement 91.3 WBNY w Greg Burt

I've spent half my life being the baddest boy
that I grew to be a bad, bad man

There are still some things I know can bring me joy
but I guess I'd hoped we'd make a better plan

But I know this much is true: I've never loved like I love you…

So I'm pushing all my chips to the table's edge
and I'm putting all my money where my big mouth is

I am walking like I'm talking for the first time in years
and I'm facing all the demons I'd been taught to fear

That's how I knew this much was true: I'd never loved like I loved you…

some demons they scream right at you 'til they're blue in the face
some just stab your back and look the other way

sick revenge plotters always make big plans
some are overburdened mothers raising up their clans

until they all come after you, and you don't know what you should do
and they're screaming through the room and you're faced with certain doom

but then you gently reach your hand and I begin to understand
you weren't a demon after all and I was walking oh so tall
learning who I'm supposed to be planting all these mental seeds
it spread a smile right across my face
that I'm the last stranger to join the human race

I spent half my life being the baddest boy
and I grew to be a bad bad man
but then I fell in love and really got destroyed
but I never want to hurt you again

And so I know this much is true: You'll never feel love like the love from me to you
Yes I know this much is true: I've never loved like I love you...

I Love You

the picture being painted sure is not a pretty one
all the sketches we made faded, all the promise covered up
nothing makes sense when you look at it
up close or from afar

and I thought that if I told you all the stupid things I'd done
maybe then you'd see me changing and you'd let me in your heart
and meet me somewhere in the middle
of the mess that I had become

I wash my hands
I fold my towels
I take deep breaths
and try not to howl
at the moon because the moon is just tease
and I don't need the moon no more

2 nights in a row and I'm left stranded in a haze
of a loneliness so treacherous it feels just like a maze
in a movie where the outcome isn't
looking very good for the prey

and I can't turn off the images repeating in my mind
of you out there dancing, drinking, babe and having a good time
half a million miles away from me
looks like I'm not sleeping tonight

I wash my hands

all the words are flooding through me now like something that I need
like if the next song is the perfect one, then maybe you'll feel me
I guess I'll write a brand new record since I won't have you back for a week

And I'll write some simple melodies and tie together words
and I'll strum these soft sweet chords for you, your favourite ones I heard
and I'll hope until my hope runs out that one of these things might work
