Drivetrain - Music Got Me

In June of 2022, a friend in Deep River asked if I could write a song about the construction of a new long term care home to be built in my home town Deep River. A few months later, the "Close to Home" song was born. The song speaks to the virtues of small town living in a close-knit community and highlights the benefits of expanded long term care services to the area.
 
Musicians Alastair MacDonald (piano), Karen Steven (fiddle), Chelsea Cheng (cello), and Anne Audet (harmony vocals) collaborated with Marc to develop song arrangements. Sound designer John MacLean then turned the recorded parts into a beautiful song.

Close To Home

Inspired by Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s incredibly moving version of Deep River.

I do not want to appropriate this historical spiritual simply for the sake of a dance track. This is just my addition to the long history of people who have sang this song and I don’t mean it to trivialise the music or its meaning.

The minor key is for the pain past and the work still to do. The major key is for the progress made and the hope of a better future for all.
