no one wins on a battlefield				
can scars hurt ‘till the end of time?
does this child now need a shield?
is this body yours or mine?

good touch, too much
stop now, I’ve had enough
the line is crossed, freedom’s lost	
who do I trust and what’s the cost? 

officers sitting on the lawn			
exam room lights shine far too bright
every choice feels right and wrong
will I ever find sleep tonight?

good touch, too much
stop now, I’ve had enough
the line is crossed, freedom’s lost			
who do I trust and what’s the cost?

cradle me in my arms tonight
my legs tired running from my past		
soldiers trying not to fight
how much longer will this last?
		
good touch, too much
stop now, I’ve had enough
the line is crossed, freedom’s lost 
who do I trust and what’s the cost?

drawing lines in the sand today 
lines for freedom, freedom to play
will scars heal in their own time?
is this body yours or mine?

06 - Drawing Lines

I wrote this song because I am now a father of three and can't stand to see my boys future ruined. Stephen Harpers damage to Canada and what it is we used  to stand for must stop and it must stop now.

OH...CANADA (ACOUSTIC)

Electro West Coast Raggamuff - Conscientious lyrics about how we weigh life's value & try to buy happiness... all woven into a reggae 1 drop groove.

Grass Is Greener

Love song I wrote to win my fiance over after we met on plenty of fish!

Stumble On

An acoustic song about the love between us.

RipTide

Beautiful Of Love

A love song about falling in love... literally.

I met my wife on "Plenty Of Fish" and wrote her this song to win her over.

Love Me

Seasons (Waiting on You)

Vancouver-based indie folk-soul group, Likewise, writes and sings about global change from the inside out. Likewise’s influences include folk, rock, gospel, soul and Canadiana. Imagine Joni Mitchell sharing a coffee with Dave Matthews, Birds of Chicago, and Half Moon Run. Likewise’s music holds a thread of optimism, sharing songs of hope and transcendence through the insanity and exquisite beauty that is our collective human experience. Their debut album creates a personal soundtrack in response to the challenges of our changing world.
Likewise have performed for enthusiastic audiences at Blessed Coast Festival in Squamish, Railway Club, Canadian Memorial, Kino Cafe and Metamorfest. They are popular regular performers at Vancouver Farmers’ Markets and Granville Island. This summer Likewise performed at cideries, breweries and wineries on the Sunshine Coast, in Kamloops and the Naramata Valley. Likewise also hosted and performed in the Night of Song house concert series. In March 2023, they will perform their CD Release concert for their self-titled debut at St James Hall. Audiences experience performances that take them from sacred stillness to energizing groove. From the haunting cry “In the Dark” to the upbeat anthem “Ageless Sun,” Likewise has their roots dug deep in the ground, and their hands lifted to the sky.
