Dr. Michael McTavish returns to spread awareness about the increase in jumping worms in Ontario. He explains what makes them different from other worms, where they came from, their impacts on our ecosystems, and what listeners should do if they spot a jumping worm.

Never Too Soon

Written on a 5 day freighter voyage from Reykjavik to Rotterdam. At 1 AM on the 4th night, a phone call from my father - whom I hadn't heard from in 14 years - asked, 'where was I?'. Out the porthole tiny lights from a far off shore; I hollered in Icelandic to ask the first mate in the next cabin. "Skotlandi!

You Are The Stories

There’s an old man who ran away from home
At the age of 14 he was on his own
Left his folks out east
Made his way to Alaska

He lied about his age to get a job
Outran child services and the law
But one day he met 
A woman to hold dear

He came full circle when he went home
His ma recognized him though he’d grown

You are the stories that I have heard
I fill in the gaps with my own words
Sometimes the truth turns out absurd
You are the stories that you have told
And in my head you’ll never grow old
Those little capsules keep me in their hold

There’s a sad man at a metro stop
He’s there most days and we make small talk
Just change in his cup
And then I’m on my way

A girl my age who died too young
I didn’t know her well but she was loved
She was always giving back
Without making much of a show

Never went deep because it was scary
Only know from the obituary 

You are the stories that I have heard
I fill in the gaps with my own words
Sometimes the truth turns out absurd
You are the stories that you have told
And in my head you’ll never grow old
Those little capsules keep me in their hold

Our enemies are at it again
Up to old tricks and I pretend
It’s a one sided story
It’s clearer to see pure evil 

I guess if I put myself over there
I’d recoil because life isn’t fair
Out of sight out of mind
In the cross hair of a drone

And if something happens close to home
We’ll hit panic from atop the throne

You are the stories that I have heard
I fill in the gaps with my own words
Sometimes the truth turns out absurd
You are the stories that you have told
And in my head you’ll never grow old
Those little capsules keep me in their hold

The Worry

The fourth song in this cover series comes from a band I was pointed towards recently, the immensely talented West My Friend. I immediately thought "Build a Bed" was such a beautiful and sweet song, and for very happy reasons it has really resonated with me as of late and taken on a lot of personal meaning. I hope you enjoy the cover and be sure to check out West My Friend if you haven't yet had the pleasure!

04 - Build a Bed (West My Friend Cover)

I am a Toronto-based singer-songwriter and a member of Wilson & The Cast Aways. I draw my influences primarily from traditional and contemporary folk and the Great Outdoors. I will rarely say 'no' to trying a new instrument and I love trying to make stories and song out of the world I see around me. I hope you enjoy!
