This song was written towards the end of my time in Topanga Canyon. I wanted to have something on the album with a real California flavor that spoke to the throwback qualities of living in the canyon. I remember going into the session with Kevin and Sam with California Dreamin as a reference track. Canyon moon is a story about a girl who loses herself in this idyllic, west coast fantasy world and has to get out. The theme of escape is one I've always enjoyed writing about and there is something haunting about this track and it's lack of resolution that I find really charming. 

LYRICS
The sun ran out on a cold October
Somewhere under the canyon moon
Camera jammed in a slow exposure
California in her rear view

She couldn’t handle another season
Another ocean of fiction blue
Said a prayer to a dashboard Jesus,
Death Valley and worn out shoes

Then the road turned into desert everywhere
The sun ran out on a cold October
She disappeared, she disappeared

Take all your troubles, put them to bed
Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
Shot like a bullet, don’t know the way
The ricochet, kind of got away from you

The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
Marching band in a high school dream
Little town and a faded beauty
They still remember when she was queen

Then the road turned into desert everywhere
The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
She disappeared, she disappeared

Always

you had your bed made
had all these precious memories
you had to runaway
you were looking for that bigger stage ...

Rubén Crown Too Much to Bear

Written by Stevie Tonks Produced by Sam de Jong at Parachute Studios


They say there’s no better therapy than songwriting; an adage that’s all too true for heart-on-sleeve songwriter Rubén Crown.   The third in a trilogy of raw, genre-defying tunes, Too Much to Bear is a song that crept up on Crown. “When I sat down to write the track, I was coming from a place of frustration with someone dear to me,” the songwriter explains, “They had this harmful view of themselves that was causing them pain – but this strange, self-inflicted pain.”  “It wasn’t until I had finished the song that I realised it was actually about my own inner battles” he concludes. Too Much to Bear represents a realization that in so many ways, we are our own worst enemies, and that the real battle is in confronting ourselves.”

Produced by Sam de Jong (Ginny Blackmore, Stan Walker), Too Much to Bear swings from an ominous R&B slink to the determined swagger of the chorus. As usual, Crown’s emotionality is at the forefront as he delivers what he does best; a cathartic dose of leftfield pop music.
