“The Heritage That Is Ours”, Oct 22, 2023

This song was written with my mom in mind and captures the special bond between a mother and her adult son within the context of overcoming mental illness and adversity, inspired by the themes of gratitude and love set against nature's beauty.

YOU'RE THE REASON

Peace of Mind 



I’ve told you many times before 

Why 

I stay here 

Why 

I lay here 



Next to you 

Next to you 

I feel less blue 



I put so much 

Trust 

In us



I simply 

Trust 

In both of us


mmhh (3x)


You got issues 

I got them too 

You had a hard time too 

But we need to let love win

Else it leaves us dry 

(Leaves us dry

Don’t wanna always cry

Need some peace of mind 

That’s why 

(I, I)

I stay here 

I lay here 

Next to you

Peace Of Mind

Hi everyone, I started a band, "Andrew Neil & Code Purple"  (ANCP),  Our debut album, "Resurrection" will be officially released very soon!! In the meantime, enjoy the pre-release of the album on Soundcloud! 
Andrew Neil is considered an "Outsider" music artist along the lines of Daniel Johnston.  One can also hear influences of Elliot Smith, Anthony Kiedis, and Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) in his vocal delivery.  Andrew  began writing songs following a head injury sustained in a car accident in 2009.  Since then he has struggled with Bi-polar and PTSD.  He has written nearly 400 songs since late 2009, and never had any music training to speak of.  In 2014 he was hospitalized due to a psychotic episode gone bad and remained in a state hospital for three years until May 2017.  While hospitalized he wrote and recorded 70 songs.  Upon his release we decided to produce an Album called "Code Purple -Andrew Neil".  We selected 11 of the 70 songs and had them mastered.  It is the only album ever produced in which all the songs are written and recorded in a State Mental Hospital.  He now lives in a Group home in Charlottesville, VA.  Since leaving the hospital in May 2017, he has written almost 40 songs and is now in the process of recording his first studio Album, which is being produced by Andy Waldeck and features Nate Brown (from the band "Everything") on drums.   Andrew has enough solid material for 2 plus Albums....plus an incredible back-catalogue of material.   He continues to write quality songs.  Peace to you!  Ray (Andrew's Dad)

The Unitarian Church of Edmonton is a liberal, multi-generational, religious community. We celebrate a rich mosaic of free-thinking, spiritually-questing individuals joined in common support and action. We welcome diversity including diversity of beliefs from divine believers to humanists, from pagans to atheists and agnostics. We believe in the compassion of the human heart, the warmth of community, the pursuit of justice and the search of meaning in our lives.

We gather with gratitude on traditional Cree lands that are now a part of Treaty Six and shared by many nations. A treaty is an inheritance, a responsibility and a relationship. May we be good neighbours to one another, good stewards to our planet and good ancestors to our children.
