I listened to this in my middle school days & the fact that it still hits me hurts 

When i was younger i always listened to this and thought, “wow, i feel so bad for people who have to deal with this”.. i guess id feel sorry for myself now

This part hits so close to home it hurts so bad

I relate to this so much it basically explains my life

songs i REALLY like

Making a new video and you get to decide which one!!!

  Many of you already know that we put out the new album just a short while ago. Thank you all for supporting it... we've gotten some incredible reviews and wonderfully positive feedback. I really love this album. I love it so much that I couldn't decide on which video to make next. See where I'm going with this yet? We opened with a video of "For Many" and are now considering which piece should follow it up. In all likelihood this will be the last video I produce (They're an increasingly expensive commitment with no monetary return... I do them because I love doing them... just can't afford to keep doing them.) So with all of that out in the open I want to invite my fans to make this decision. Your support has meant so much over the years and I'm often asked why I haven't done a video for this piece or that piece... trust me I would do videos for all of them if I could. How it breaks down is this. We're going to release the album on YouTube and Soundcloud. Two tracks per week with just a static image of Scott Waters wonderful cover art. When all of the pieces are finally online voting will begin on www.shanekoyczan.com.

There'll be a list of the tracks and each visitor will be allowed to cast their vote for the piece they'd most like to see made into a video. Please keep in mind that we don't have access to grants and are not crowd funding this project. Our budget is a modest 8k which I pay for myself. So please don't expect Michael Jackson's Thriller. Another angle to this little tidbit is that we will be accepting submissions from creators who might be interested in making the video. Animators, graphic designers, filmmakers... Pixar... whoever you are... If this is something that interests you and you believe you can work within the budget... it's all yours. Submit some of your work to submissions@shanekoyczan.com; the band and I will go through and decide which style we'd like to see applied to the chosen track. Something you should consider before making any commitments is that the 8k is in Canadian funds, which is currently laughable outside of Canada, so I hope you're up for a challenge. If you do feel like cushioning the meager budget you can make a pledge on my Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/shanekoyczan. This will likely be the first and last project I release via this site but every penny helps. Okay... I've talked your ear off long enough. Hope you've all been making beautiful steps toward your bliss in this new year. Hope to see you all in it.

Cheers, Shane

When I Was A Kid By Shane Koyczan And The Short Story Long

Supernova

From the upcoming album "Carry The Fire" - coming June 19th

Bottom Of The River

"A little while ago, when I was still going to therapy, my therapist told me when I have really bad thoughts or just have a lot of issues or things that I'm dealing with at the time (maybe short term stuff, or maybe long term stuff), he said that it was a really good idea to write it down. Not use your computer, but to actually, physically write it out. And while I haven't gone to therapy in a little while for various reasons, I was going through my garage and I was cleaning stuff out a couple weeks ago, and I found my old notebook. And I don't know when I wrote this, but I've been kinda writing in this journal for I almost I would say a couple years now, and what I would do, was when I was feeling particularly suicidal, or when I was just, ya know, kinda just a little overcome with just being depressed for such a long time. What I would do is I would write suicide notes. Just because when you write a suicide note and you kinda limit yourself to a couple page, it's always interesting to see what comes out as far as like, what really matters to you. If you only had a couple pages to close your life, what would you say? So, I found this one and I thought it was particularly poignant, and I thought somehow I could use it in some musical capacity, to kinda translate it to show you all, even though it's very personal. I was gonna make a stupid little ukulele ballad, but ultimately I don't think this is something to really joke about. So I just did a spoken word piece that I recorded for you and I want you to hear it. So, I hope you enjoy it." - Richard M. Giese (Social Repose)
